Pattern: Melanie Wrap (My own)
Yarn: Quince & Co. Lark (100% American Wool, 134 yrds/50g),
Chanterelle, 5balls, Pomegranate, 1 ball (100% American Wool, 134 yrds)
US 7(4.5mm) circular and DPN needles
While it is not an "exact" copy of what Mel wore I still think it caputres the essence of what she wore. Classic yet stylish. I hope you will enjoy making and wearing it while watching Sweet Home Alabama.
I am loving all the comments coming in for the Loop-D-Loop Lace Giveaway - it's getting me excited on what to knit for fall! Hopefully you'll now all add this to your list!
very pretty!! How does it close- it looks like there are ties?

yes! The shawl has I cord ties - I extended them out from two corners of the shawl. Glad you like it! :-)

I like it a lot - especially the contrast edging.

I’m not ready to say I’ve nailed it yet – it’s only been a few weeks after all, but I am feeling very happy; as if I've shifted something that has been weighing me down for a long time. I’ve put myself up on OK Cupid and I’ve had some really nice and interesting replies. I haven’t met them in person yet but even getting this far is a huge and gratifying step for me. Connecting on a personal level with men who are in similar situations to me is fascinating.
