Grand Lake

This beautiful knitting pattern was originally designed for the 4th shipment of A Verb for Keeping Warm’s Pro-Verbial Club in 2010-11.

The intricate stitch inspirations behind the Grand Lake shawl draw from the natural beauty of fish scales and seashells, yet the final product evokes the elegance of vintage architecture. Specifically, it calls to mind the grandeur of old movie theaters, with their charming arches, flourishes, and rich decorative motifs. One notable reference in Oakland is the iconic Grand Lake Theater, a stunning 1920s movie palace that is lovingly maintained by its owners. As a true Oakland landmark, the Grand Lake Theater captures a nostalgic piece of Americana, showcasing a delightful blend of architectural styles that have stood the test of time. Imagine wearing your Grand Lake shawl to a movie night, where you can truly embrace the glamour reminiscent of classic film palaces while enjoying your favorite flick.
