You have such a talent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-858320 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 08:53:18 +0000 CocoLion 858320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a cream color? It would still be wedding appropriate but more useable after the wedding.</p> <p>ETA -- oh I see this is already the consensus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-858297 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 07:35:48 +0000 Katiepea 858297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea of pearly white and just have to say I'm in awe of your talent to be able to knit this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-858269 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 05:16:28 +0000 rae 858269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! Pearly white sounds divine and will keep the look bridal. I cannot wait to seeeeeee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-858198 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 02:49:21 +0000 Thistle 858198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also agree with pearly! Something with shimmer. If you don't reuse t for yourself, you can either save it as a keepsake, and use it as a baby blanket should the need arise. If not for yourself, for a very close loved one.</p> <p>That is one gorgeous pattern, too. You are so very talented! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-858143 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 00:50:46 +0000 Suz 858143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Pearly" is exactly how I imagined it - a few bits of silvery sheen. I hope you can find the perfect yarn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-858141 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 00:45:24 +0000 Mochi 858141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you are getting great advice.

Beautiful pattern! I agree that pearly sounds perfect. I think pearly white could be worn in the future too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-857971 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 20:50:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 857971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Pearly" - that's the perfect description. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-857957 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 20:42:26 +0000 Diana 857957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK! My new plan is to look for really shiny white/natural/cream/silver silk yarn. It's hard to get silver without it being also too grey so I'm thinking white or cream (with the shine, it should be sort of pearly) is the way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-857953 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 20:41:03 +0000 MsMary 857953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WHITE!!</p> <p>And it can double as a baby blanket when and if the time comes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-857915 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 20:09:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 857915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana - that will be a stunning piece and such a beautiful keepsake from your wedding day. I love the idea of a silvery sheen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-857896 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 19:53:00 +0000 pil 857896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That will be incredible - you are SO talented! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-857892 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 19:50:59 +0000 sarah 857892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, yes, white or silvery-white.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-857872 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 19:27:20 +0000 Diana 857872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, Suz, silvery might be a really good idea. It would match the shoes and also avoid the whole issue with the whites not matching. (My mom is making my veil, and I have to bring the dress to CA when I go next week because she can't figure out what color white - apparently there are like 50 of them - to buy.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-857870 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 19:26:26 +0000 Sarah A 857870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would abandon practicality and re-wearability, If part of you wants to do it in white, then go for it! You wedding day only happens once so indulge your fantasy look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-857869 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 19:25:22 +0000 Suz 857869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote white, too, or maybe silvery? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-857865 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 19:21:41 +0000 Angie 857865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote white. And how killer fab that you will be knitting it yourself!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wedding-shawl-color#post-857860 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 19:13:50 +0000 Diana 857860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So because I am me and probably also crazy, I have decided that i want to knit myself a shawl for my upcoming wedding. I have already picked the pattern (#1 below, it is Niebling's Lyra for the knitters among you - I will probably be doing 5/8 of the circle rather than a full circle because it's easier to wear). I am still trying to decide on a color. I have purchased a plum colored yarn (#2 below), which is beautiful and also one of my wedding colors. However, a part of me wants to do it in white or cream for the real wedding shawl look. I wonder if the lace shawl in white will be too much with my white, layered dress though. I think the plum would also be more reusable for future events. What do you think? I would probably not wear it for the ceremony but only for the reception, if that matters. </p>
