How Do You Speak to an Angel?

I’m completely in the dark
When you know that you’ve just met an angel
Is there a proper remark?

We were alone for a moment
Why was I lost in a cloud ?
Do you speak to an angel in a whisper ,
Or do you just say I love you out loud?


Pattern: Angel Lace Shawl
by the One, the Only Evelyn A. Clark


Yarn: Classic Elite - Mountain Top Vail
70% alpaca / 30% bamboo
236 yd/50 gr. - 2 skeins color 6403 - Steel

Needle: Size 5 KnitPicks Options


Now you know I love me a good Evelyn A. Clark knit. She never disappoints. This is my third time to knit this pattern and I'm sure not my last. This may very well be my favorite of her triangular patterns that I have tried so far. I have yet to knit some of her older, larger designs, though. This one, in particular, is a very soothing repeat to knit.


And the yarn? Oh, my it was a treat, too. This Mountain Top line by Classic Elite is a natural, undyed line of yarns with Vail being the fingering weight. Classic Elite says it is luxury that won't cost you a fortune. Very soft. Nice drape. I think I'll try this again, too.


I added one smoky glass bead at each point of the edging. Not too much bling. In fact, you hardly notice, but I think it adds just the right touch.

Perfect picture, and I'd say you Whisper, the shawl looks so dainty and dainty reminds me of a whisper. So, think I love you and talk with a whisper? Very pretty!

I can feel the softness of this shawl through the photo and can imagine how it would feel to be wrapped in it's warmth.

I love watching your projects unfold.
