This one is simply breathtaking!
Another from Susan Pandorf's Fellowship of the Ring collection, this is a beaded lace creation that is just magnificent.
Here is what Susan says:
"The shawl is a full sized round one inspired by Arwen’s Evenstar from Lord of the Rings. Shawl takes 1500 yards of laceweight, and requires an intermediate level of skill; no expertise required, just patience. Written & charted directions.
"...A strong yarn is recommended as this pattern is a large one with much wear & tear on the yarn.
"There is optional beading on the outside edge of the piece.Bead count is 3000."
This one is amazing. Figure on size 8/0 beads -- that way the beads do not weight down the fabric of the shawl. Susan used size 3 US needles on hers, and gives swatch directions at the end of the pattern. Plus lots of very helpful data throughout.

This one will be an heirloom.
P.S. We are planning with The Unique Sheep to put together some amazing kits for this beauty -- some even using Gradiance sets, no less, plus some in gorgeous almost-solids. If you would like more data or want us to save one for you, email me. The first ones are now available in Eos dyed in our stunning exclusive Snow Glint and in a Gradiance set of Dragon Fire -- yum!
Tremendous fun!
