Glenallen is a contemporary, top-down triangular lace shawl. When I first saw the pattern for the body of this shawl in a stitch dictionary, I knew I had to incorporate it into a shawl design.
It reminded me of the interlocking mosaic marble floor tiles that one might find in the lobby of an elegant hotel circa 1925.
I could just see Gloria Swanson, the silent movie queen, making a grand entrance, sashaying across this tile floor while dramatically flinging a beautiful shawl across her shoulder.
