Knitting...

I got a huge whack of yarn for my birthday and Christmas. I know what I'm making with some of it, but I have a bunch of really really thin laceweight that I want to do something with. I have a few ideas, but I don't know what I want to do.

I lovelovelove the "Spiderweb shawl" from Victorian Lace Today,
but the loopy lace for the border, the brioche pattern, I hate what it looks like when I knit it up. Plus, the yarn would look silly knit up on 7's.


It would either be the Shetland Lace Shawl from A Gathering Of Lace,


or the "Three Cornered Shawl in Clover Leaf Pattern" from Victorian Lace Today.

A beautiful example here




I'm going to work some swatches, I guess, and figure out what I'd actually like.
