Oh ms piggy, So happy for you!!! It's gorgeous and I'm sure it looks just beautiful on you! Would love to see it in action...

Wow, 3 months... but it's here now

Congratulations (on both the shawl and your patience

)
These two were simply made for each other:

Le Monde, the first color listed on the tag of the Ex Libris shawl in the pinks is Framboise, I believe. I have tried it on a couple of times and I am still thinking about it. I am also a fan of this pattern...Ms. Piggy, your shawl and Kelly are jaw-dropping gorgeous!!

Thank you Le Monde!
OK, here is a pic of my Ex Libris. Love the colors!!!

LeMonde · Oct 20th, 2008, 12:23 AM

CONGRATS again

Gorgeous, vibrant colorway!
And thank you for sharing your pic with us...
Could we also see it knotted... please

If you prefer not to post a pic of yourself, maybe just 'an empty knot'?

There aren't many examples of how this pattern looks in action...

You got me thinking because I thought that the second color would be framboise... I checked dictionairy and found out that black currant is CASSIS (I learn every day thanks to H lol).

If anyone else saw the tags please help out to put this together:
(I did my best but some translation just doesn't seem to work lol)

Thanks MaiTai & LeMonde. The shawl is on its way to me, I will take an action shot as soon as I receive it.
BTW, bought the pocket size EX Libris Navy/black yesterday when visited the local H store. Will show it with the shawl later this week. I love the colorway.

1. Cream or Off-white Ex Libris 90cm silk twill from 2001 collection
2. Navy/Black/White Ex Libris 90cm silk twill from 2001
3. Black/Narural Ex Libris 140cm cash/silk from 2008

dou.dou · Oct 20th, 2008, 02:10 AM

seton, nice collection!

MaiTai · Oct 20th, 2008, 02:46 AM

LeMonde, thank you

The Gavroche is 'Vif Argent' in the black CW.
Your GM CW list is great and the french translations are correct. Additionally Cypress= Cyprés, light turquoise = turquoise clair and lavender blue= bleu lavande. These are just translations and I don't know, if they are also the official names. I'd substitute Bleu Dur with Bleu Fort, but then again, it might not be called that either.

Rose, gorgeous Pointu.

crochetbella and dou.dou, congrats on your Gavroches! I second LeMonde, would love to see them knotted.

Seton, very nice ensemble!

ms piggy · Oct 20th, 2008, 03:22 AM

seton, thank you for sharing your Ex Libris collection, LOVE the Black/White colour theme. Do you think it's possible for you to post a full pic of the Cream or Off-white 90cm silk twill from 2001. Thanks!

wantitneedit · Oct 20th, 2008, 03:35 AM

seton, i'm having heart attacks here! gorgeous collection. Love it all, especially the off-white version and the navy/black/white one. thanks for posting the pics.

I'm going to use the image from luxury-scarves. It's a traditional colorway. Meaning that while mine is from 2001, I have seen Ex-Libris from the 1970s-1990s in the same exact CW

wantitneedit · Oct 20th, 2008, 03:44 AM

simply s t u n n i n g! avert the eyes, avert the eyes!!!!

ms piggy · Oct 20th, 2008, 03:46 AM

Thanks for posting the full pic, seton

. It's such a beautiful colourway inspite of its non-colour (in the literal "colour" sense). I love that the details of the carriage and scarf are so crisp and sharp. Magnificent!

I really hope they reissue this again very soon as I love cream/off-white!! I can't do too much black, so might have to skip the Navy/Black/White much as I love it.
