The first shawlette I've been calling the Fairytale Shawlette because I worked the initial sample in Fairytale Sock. Any better suggestions would be welcome, although I do like Fairytale, perhaps I'll stick with it but do let me know what you think.
I had decided I would call this scarf 'Do The Twist' because of the way the centre stitch pattern twists but perhaps someone can come up with something better?
And finally the design that's currently on my needles, a cowl and handwarmer set. The only pics i have so far are the blocking pics of the cowl from the last post:
This is the larger size, the smaller size is currently blocking but no pics yet. I've knitted one of the larger handwarmers and I've started the first of the smaller pair. I've ordered some buttons to fasten this cowl this morning from my favourite button shop. I also discovered The Textile Garden will be at Woolfest so I will be stocking up on more buttons then.
Yesterday was the warmest and sunniest day of the year so far for us. Today looks like it's going to be another cracker. My plans for today is to try to finish all the patterns for the Easy Lace Collection and the Daisy Shawlette and to deal with as many e-mails as I can cope with. I'm drowning in them! I'm also determined to enjoy the sunshine and sit out in the garden to knit for a bit. I wish I could take my laptop outside to work but I can't see the screen if I use it outside. Very annoying!
I hope your weekend is as sunny as ours. And please do leave your name suggestions in the comments together with your e-mail or Ravelry name so I can contact you if you win. Winners will be chosen & announced next week. Also, I'm hoping to have this collection printed into pattern booklets. So if you know any good British-based printers that are also affordable for small runs please let me know.

Good luck choosing pattern names! It's one of the things I most dislike doing! How about pulling a list of wild flowers from the internet and using those? Or something along those lines...
I think fairytales are a good theme for names. In my eyes there is always some magic in a lace project. So I would keep the Name Fairytale for the first scarf. The Supreme Shawls is Lady Amalthea (the last Unicorn). The 'Flower & Vine' is Schmendrick the magician. 'Do The Twist' let me think of Eternity and Wisdom, but I don't have a name yet. The last one could be the Fountain of Youth or Tear of a Mermaid.
Kind regards, Mary (Ravelry name: Tomoe)
I agree, sometimes naming can be the hardest part! Here are my suggestions--
1. Like a Fairytale
2. Frosty Diamonds Shawlette
3. Dewdrops
4. Lacy Braid
5. Pearls & Lattices
I'm Joyuna on Ravelry :)
I think 'Do the Twist'should be named something like Celtic Jewel as the twisting pattern resembles those Celtic patterns which weave in and out of each other and the colour is very jewel like.

Can't wait for the e-book. Am always in awe of how fast you seem to be able to knit lace.
I'd call the second one Love-in-a-mist... They're all beautiful :)
Do the Twist - I like Celtic Mood too.
Good luck

The "Flower and Vine" Shawlette reminds me of forget-me-nots. Tiny flowers with thin, kinky stems.
I like Fairytale Shawlette and Do the Twist, and I can't think of another name for the Supreme Shawlette :( Maybe something to do with snow?
I haven't done a lot of designing yet, but I imagine naming things must be one of the hard parts.
Anyway, I have a few suggestions for you - feel free to use or ignore!
Supreme shawlette: Silhouette or something with Echo
Flower & Vine: Parterre (as in the type of garden, since the flowers are laid in very regimented rows)
Do the twist: Entwined
new cowl & hardwarmers: Milady or M'Lady (as it seems very elegant with the lace & beads)
