Thanks, Cearbhael! Are you referring to the medallion shawl in the Gossamer Webs Design Collection? I was thinking of trying that one myself. It's not symmetrical? Hmmm. Will have to take a closer look at the charts.
Did you see the photos of the real Orenburg shawls that my officemate's grandmother has? They're not the museum pieces that one finds in books but still, they were interesting to examine closely. http://apinnick.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/orenburg-shawls/ Avital On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 6:05 AM, <cearbh...@mywdo.com> wrote: > > > Avital, > > I just went to your website and noticed you do the Orenburg shawls...went > back through my emails and found this.
