Attolia

[furem.livejournal.com]

So, I knit. I knit quite a lot, and that means that I buy a lot of yarn. I recently purchased some reddish lace-weight that reminds me a lot of Attolia and I think that it wants to be an Attolia shawl. No such thing exists, which means I'll be designing and charting it myself, and that means I can put whatever I want on it.

So, what reminds you of Attolia? I'm thinking bees of some sort, and a Greek key shape (like this ), possibly lilies and/or crowns, and maybe some words around the outside if I can work out the stitch count but that isn't enough to fill up a shawl of the size I'm picturing. So give me your Attolia symbols! Please and thank you. :)

This sounds lovely. The only other symbols I can think of are an amphora and maybe a mask?

Please post pictures of the finished project! I'd love to see it. :)

The Greek Key pattern, or a smaller one like it, would make a beautiful border if you were looking for that, I think.

Bees would be a lovely choice, too. Or lilies!

olive tree leaves would make a beautiful connecting pattern, wouldn't it?
