On a similar overwhelmed-by-choice-in-my-pattern-search note, does anyone have favorite patterns for beaded lace shawls? I've been knitting shawls for awhile now, but only in DK weight and up, and I finally have 800-900 yards of proper laceweight and a bunch of seed beads to match and want to make something yellow and orange and spectacular to keep the winter out. Both triangles and stoles are fine options; I don't think I have enough yarn for a really awesome circle.

I had a ton of fun doing the Aeolian shawl from Knitty a few seasons ago.

Sivia Harding is the queen of beaded lace in my knitting world. I'm just tossing out a small sampling of her work in this comment:
  • Aphrodite
  • Diamond Fantasy
  • Dryad
  • Moonshadow Stole
  • Phoenix Rising (my favorite of the bunch)

    May I just say how I love that you have this list of designers/patterns in your head? I think that's pretty awesome.

    I like the shawls by Melanie at Pink Lemon Twist, especially Hanami.
