Too bad. I think the clothing designer missed a great opportunity there. Yours is lovely and looked familiar to me, too. I thought for sure Nora Gaughan might have done something with spirals, but I was mistaken. She used pentagons. There are lovely spiral shawls in both Victorian Lace Today and A Gathering of Lace. I bet the Mom who gets your shawl (er... baby blanket)will be wearing it as a cover up when she nurses next winter.
