Just a quickie for those that asked for close-up pictures of the knitted shawl:
(These were taken with the good camera; click on the picture once, then again to get to the largest version of it)
The knitting is actually gathered along each zig-zag - so pretty!
And the corner:
You can see how the fringe is gathered on the corner.
I'll post some close-ups of the lace scarf soon.

Just wait till I unleash her dessert recipes on you. She and her sisters were professional bakers.
Warmest regards,

I can't thank you enough; I love all the pieces so much!
In this case it was sort of chance. I was trying to figure out what to do with the stuff and attack_laurel mentioned here that she liked antique lace.

(A couple of the smaller pieces are going into my doll-making stash - they're the perfect size for a really special doll I'm planning. One of the larger pieces may possibly be framed.)
There was also a darling christening gown amongst the pieces that has a large rip on one shoulder - I'll have to try and mend that, too - I'll post pictures at some point, since they seem to be inspirational to people wanting to copy! :)
Thanks so much for the close-ups!
It looks as though the knitting may not exactly be "gathered" as in sewing: the additional fulness may just have been knitted in through a bunch of closely spaced increases. Clever, if so!
