Knitting a Victorian Shetland Lace Scarf Pattern (in 2020) - A 144-year old Mystery Scarf

Pattern now available on Ravelry! https://ravel.me/shetland-lace-myster... The Victorian Shetland Lace Shawl, or Wedding Ring Shawl, is an iconic part of knitting lore. The more practical scarf, less so. The Victorian and Edwardian era(s) have seen a surge of popularity on costube recently. While everyone else is sewing corsets and combinations, I've been knitting a scarf. The Victorian Shawl is fairly well known, in both knitted and woven varieties, but scarves seem a more practical garment, meant for both prestige and warmth. I found myself wandering through the Richard Rutt Collection on the University of Southampton's knitting archive. I found myself intrigued by a scarf pattern in a book attributed only to "A Lady". Could this be a pirated or missing Frances Lambert or Jane Gaugain pattern? Or could this be a traditional pattern contributed by a local knitter? I picked up my Addi Turbo needles and a skein of silk/wool blend, and determined to find out for myself. Along the way, I found myself wondering...just who is this scarf meant for? And what does knitting have to do with Gilbert and Sullivan, and Courtney Love? The answer might surprise you! Bibiliography: Lovick, Elizabeth.
