Manderley
Initially run as a KAL you can still get custom dyed yarn and join the Yahoo Group We also have a Rav group under Yarn Fairy come play!
A Yarn Fairy original, this triangular lace shawl takes it’s name from the Gothic mansion which haunts a young bride in the novel, Rebecca. The many, all original lace patterns riddled throughout, were taken from images of gates, chandeliers, window panes as well as the sea which Manderley perches over.
Worked from the neck down, in either Yarn Fairy Manderley by the Sea, a bright happy color or overdyed in black for a more Gothic look. This shawl will produce a lovely Gothic remembrance, to a novel which is hard to forget. Creative enough to keep a long time shawl knitter hooked, yet simple enough for a beginner. Beads will highlight the shine of the crystal, curl of the gate and add emphasis to design elements.
