Mim's Knitting Frenzy

Follow the dark and skeery path into the dank recesses of Miriam's mind. There you will find many a knitting needle and the occasional ominous crochet hook. Sinister looking book presses and towering stacks of paper. Where various handcrafts lurk waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting...

Naming THE shawl

As nice a name as THE shawl is, it really needs a better one.

So here's the options that I like and the reasons I like them. Post in the comments which one you like best. If you have another suggestion, post in the comments as well.


1. Lyre- it looks kind of like a harp. It's an instrument used in Greek mythology. I like mythology.

2. Calliope- Muse of eloquence and epic poetry (very Victorian, like the shawl). Pretty pretty name.

3. Orpheus- Son of Calliope and Apollo. Played the lyre so beautifully that it charmed everyone, including the Sirens who would have destroyed the Argo.

4. Icarus- A little depressing perhaps, but the shawl looks like feathers dripping off a stick frame, no?


OK, please give me your input. And any other reasoning. Or any combinations of the names....
