While at a concert today, a woman asked me if I had any patterns suitable for an August wedding, for her to make for her daughter, the bride.
Here are some ideas:
Gardiner Toe the Line Shawl
This one looks really beautiful, though I have not knit it.
It should knit up fairly fast, even though it is size 5 needles, because there is a lot of open work. I like working with yarn overs for that reason.
This one also looks beautiful, and again, I have not knit it. It is more tailored and requires adding beading.
Some possible books of patterns
Knitted lace of Estonia
More lace
Alternatively, I enjoy working with Eros Glitz. And there are two shades of white in the lineup. One with a silver thread and one with a gold.
I have a pattern for a mini poncho that I will be putting up later this week, using Eros Glitz (Do not substitute the yarn.) Depending on the style of dress, this could be modified. It hangs on the bias and is really quite lovely. I've made it in several colors.
Has anyone made either the Toe the Line Shawl or worked with designs out of the Estonian lace book?
