Lazy times in days gone by picnicking at the shore,
everyone is dressed in white except that one woman who invariably wears a
pastel floral print dress, cabled V-neck pullovers with a navy blue line to
set off the neck, big picnic baskets, sun hats, fine china and crystal,
boats with pennants flying, reading, a glass of wine, napping under a tree,
children watching bumble bees in the grass. Dress in your best for
your next picnic with Fiber Dreams' Picnic Perfect shawl.
Lace portion is knit first, increasing to full width from a very small provisional cast on, then decreasing to a point. Stitches are then picked up along the edge, and it’s shaped into a crescent with garter stitch short rows.

I love your giveaways. I don't always enter, but the pattern (and let's be honest - the purple) for Aquitania is out of this world.
I've loved Lalique since I saw it at the Spirit Trail Fiberworks both at the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival in NY State. I even bought the yarn for it, but now need to advance my knitting skills before I can attempt it.

I actually like Picnic Perfect the best because it is her most original pattern; that open stitchwork is unique.
I had a hard time picking just one of the patterns. I like the Fiber Dreams Starshine.

I like Dancing Shoes because of the crescent shape and the name.

Lalique is aboslutely stunning! The detailing is so delicate. This would be perfect for a wedding or a night out with my hubby.
The Lalique would make a beautiful gift but it is out of my comfort zone right now, but I keep learning so the delicate lace panels could be in my future pile for a granddaughter! Its so youthful and stylish for the younger crowd!
sorry, I forgot to put in my comment on the Lalique that I liked you on FB. Thanks so much!
laliique is just the thing to keep the chill off, but so dressy.

I liked quite a few of the designs, but I could see myself making and wearing picnic perfect.

Actually Picnic Perfect is my fav of their designs - the center lace calls to mind butterflies, which always make a picnic, well, Perfect! :o)

I actually love Picnic Perfect. The stitch work is beautiful! I've not seen anything else like it.
Now following your blog!

I'm not sure if my comment went through. I like illusions. I also am joining your group. Emount on ravelry. Thank you for the giveaway.
I really like the Lalique. Those light, lacy cardigans are so practical for just a little layer of warmth.
Since it is -6F here right now and I feel like I will not be warm until June, I am torn between socks and cowls. I really like Moonvine & Sunspots. I would really like to have had it last night on the way home, although my hand knit socks were wonderful.
I have blogged about your giveaway. http://isnoacompletesentence.blogspot.com/2014/01/win-fiber-dreams-picnic-perfect-shawl.html
My favorite pattern is Dancing Shoes because of the name. I have been square dancing every week for almost 24 years now.
I love the Picnic Perfect Shawl. It is really unique. Thanks so much for the chance.

My favourite is Picnic Perfect Shawl. I love the different stitch combinations and the yarn really gives great definition
I like Nixie the best
I follow your blog.
The Fiber Dreams Dulcavina is the BEST shawl pattern I have ever seen, just what I have been looking for. I want a nice shawl that you can wrap up in and the dual colors add an elegance that most shawls do not have.
