Shawl Pattern - again - New pics

Well my sister finally decided on the 1970's fringed triangle Shawl, got 90%
done (like 5 more rows + fringe to go) I have found more pictures on the
shawl we're really looking for. I'm of course going to finish the one I'm
doing, but would love to surprise her with both!

This was spotted on ebay, with 1 day to go, all ready over $230! (crazy
people) but has better pictures:

There's a link on this auction to he http://www.mynapmat.com/jessica.htm
$225 + s/h! again crazy.

If I only had a pattern I'm positive I could make her one like that.

I thank you all in advance again for your continued support & advice!

It´s very different from the previous one you found on e-bay. This one
IS lovely! Now I understand your sister...
Just wondering... I´m not so sure that´s crocheted tough... I would need
to look at a larger pic or better to a "real life" shawl to be sure of
that, but from what I see I doubt a little.
It reminds me a bit of a sort of craft made using a table with spikes, I
don´t know the name of it even in Italian, I know only that´s (or was)
very popular among Italian soldiers and navy troops.
Another possibility is that´s made with a "forcella", I don´t know the
name in English either. but you can see a pic he

Anna Maria, I think the pics show what we call hairpin lace.

Sure looks like that to me, too. I wonder if "forcella" means fork? When
used open ended like that, it's rather like a big fork. The shawl certainly
looks like that, or just possibly broomstick lace. To each their own. Me, I
find it ugly, impractical, and likely to look very shabby after very few
wearings as that fringe tangles and frays and those loose loops catch on
everything you walk past.

Thanks Carol Ann! That´s the word I was searching for!
You use a fork for making hairpin lace, isn´t it?

Hugs,

Yes, Helen, forcella means fork, at least in this given context (it´s
not the fork you use for eating, though, that is called forchetta in
Italian :-).

A shawl for a TV star, in a word :-D

crazy.

very crazy! that design in wool/acrylic is going to look *awful*
in a very short time.
anyway, it looks a lot like broomstick lace to me. very quick
to work up once you get it down & fairly short learning curve
too. i gave my college roomie a 10 minute lesson on Friday & she
came back on Sunday with a completed afghan!
check the top shawl on this site:
http://homesteadwoolandgiftfarm.com/...nit_items.html
it has links to a closeup.
basic instructions for broomstick lace:

oooh! check the bottom of this page:

with longer fringe, it might be just what you're looking for...

We call it *gimping*!

good idea. Only problem is I have to learn it myself first. And this
means I have to learn italian first. Well, I still have two months
left......

Well, you are always welcome to my intensive Italian language classes :-)))

Now that I know the English name of it, I made a research for you.
I think that this one with the pics from the Italian website can be of
some help:

Thank you very much. I will certainly give it a try, and if I have
any problems, I will call for help.

About your Italian classes, I would love to come over to do that, but
although I am closer to you than a lot of the others here, it is still
a little bit too far. But it would be nice to spend some time in
Sweden, and to meet you.
