Can I get your opinion please ladies? This is the dress that I bought for a wedding (looks nicer on, honestly) and I want to knit a shrug for it. I started one with a lace stitch but then ripped it back thinking that it would be much with the beautiful lace at the top of the dress. But when I said that I was going to make a plain shrug instead, my Mum said "NOOOO! a block of colour wouldn't be as nice."
What do you think ladies? Can you help point me in the right direction?

Rosie dearest,
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what lace stitch is........
But I think I'd go for plain, maybe.....

How about something with a fine lace pattern all over, enough to be light and airy but not detract from the dress. Take a look at the Horai Scarf, something like that but less fluffy?
ReplyDeleteThe lovely lace sleeves have a sort of shruggy look of their own. How about a lacy shawl instead? That would give you the option of draping it over your arms or flinging it elegantly about your neck and shoulders. :)
ReplyDeleteI think you can never have too much lace! You want to keep the lightness of the detail in the dress. : -)
