I wondered about Elinor Ferrars (nae Dashwood) and how she'd mature in her marriage with Edward. I chose a lace pattern composed of a diamond and leaf combination as I daydreamed about Elinor's life in the parsonage; the diamond shape reminds me of the window panes I have seen in buildings from that time period. A cable spine divides the back panel and runs around all edges of the wrap, enveloping the wearer in warmth and elegance with an essence of home. Elinor would likely knit and sew to keep her family clothed and warm.
