Designs by Romi Terpsichore Street PDF

The muse of dance and choral music, Terpsichore’s name means literally “delight in dance.” The Terpsichore Street shawl from Designs by Romi is a classic beauty, showing the fleur-de-lis, a symbol of New Orleans, surrounded by a delicate mesh. This shawl can be knit in three versions: one using fingering weight yarn, and the other two using laceweight. The medium laceweight version features a strip of beaded and sequined cashmere. The smallest version, in fingering weight yarn, is bound off with a simple picot edge. The larger laceweight versions, one with a strip of beads and sequins fit for a night on the town, feature a knitted on edging. The lace patterns are charted and written out.
