Some of the most intricate works in the GAL are the lace shawls, of which there are hundreds to choose from. Here are some beauties that have caught my eye as I have browsed the Gift-A-Long designers' portfolios.

Named for the double yarnovers that feature in the pattern stitch, Double Bubble lace shawl by Yellow Mleczyk is a crescent shaped shawl which is adjustable in size by working extra repeats of the body section before starting the lace edging.

The gorgeous colour of this Ipomoea shawl by Simone Kereit caught my eye. This Estonian lace stunner is one for the more experienced lace knitter who can work lace on both wrong side and right side rows as well as add beads.

My final shawl pick is this Henry Street Shawl by Nina Machlin Dayton. It's another beaded shawl with two size options, shawlette to wear as a scarf or the full size shawl version. Charted and written instructions are given.
With so many beautiful shawls to choose from, I don't know whether to gaze in astonishment at my computer screen a little longer or just to dive in and cast on right now!
