The wrap that I knit at Christmas when I was in holiday is Florida is almost ready to release. The charts are done, it has been tech edited and we are working on the final layout. However I am having a hard time with a name. While I was working on it I always described it as my ‘Wave Wrap’ or the ‘Scalloped Wave wrap’ but somehow they don’t fully convey the feel of the wrap.
If you want to give a go at naming the wrap I’ll love some suggestions, and if I choose your name I’ll send a copy of the final pattern pdf to you when it is releases (hopefully this weekend!).
Here are some photos of the wrap:

What about The Atlantic Ocean?
Siren Song comes to mind.
If you want something Irish how about Aileen’s Wave? Aileen’s is the name of the giant wave that breaks at the foot of the cliffs of Moher.
Or Easkey? The Sligo town famous for it’s surfing and waves.
WOW – real pretty
- what about ocean breeze or scent of the sea or salt breeze
pretty no matter what you call it
cheers —pat
i’m going to go with Spirulina, a blue kid of seaweed found in lakes in North Africa. A play on the color (spirulina is blueish) and the spiral edging and the oceany feel and color…..
Great job – it’s lovely! Thea
Ripples? Ocean Wave? Waves?
Good luck with finding the right name!
How about Seaside Wrap, or Ocean Dreams Wrap………
It’s beautiful!
How about ‘Breakers’ or ‘Making Waves’?
It’s a lovely pattern, by the way.
I think “Surftide Shawl” would be nice.
~~~Marina Waves ~~~
It’s a beautiful wrap!
I think “Escalope” , which is Old French for the word “shell”. It also sounds like envelop, which makes me think of being completely wrapped up in the shael, which BTW, is gorgeous. I can’t wait to knit it:)
I thought “Swing shift” when I saw it.
The scalloped parts at the bottom remind me of the bubbles that are left behind as a wave recedes before another wave crashes. So… maybe riptide shawl?
Mermaid’s Dream, or Mermaid Wrap?
Beautiful design~~~~~~
Cresting wave
I think that names pertaining to the ocean are appropriate if it is knitted in shades of blue but it would be lovely in earthtones or pastels as well. Perhaps giving it a name such as “Scalloped Edges” would include whatever pallete the knitter likes.
How about naming it after a Florida town?
Pensacola Wrap
St. Augustine Wrap
or simply
Juno….(named after Juno Beach)
for some reason, it reminds me of jellyfish – the way it wraps around …. granted, that’s not a very sexy name for a shawl….
Love the pictures! How about Dancing Waves?
Ventulus…latin for breeze, soft wind…that’s what the shawl reminds me of
I love the name of your website so I thought of a name to include it (sort of) “Sea Stole”. There ya go, my 2 cents. Ann ;-)
Gentle Breeze…. It is a lovely wrap!
How about:
The Sea Captain’s Daughter
Seaside Rambler
Skipjack’s Air
A Fair Wind
Beachcomber’s Bulwark
Dreams or Dreams of Love
Curved Surf?
Lovely shawl. Hugged by the waves is my suggestion.
I´m thinking of a sea shell when I see it.
So maybe:
“Sea shell”
“Lacy sea shell”
“Wavy sea shell”
It´s very beautiful!
How about “gentle ripples” or “lapping waves”?
You have designed a beautiful shawl.
Lovely shawl.
How about “Wavy Skies”
Oh! That is lovely! I thought Summer Dreams when I saw it, or Ocean Dreams.
Whatever you name it, I look forward to knitting it!
It’s a lovely shawl!
Looks like breaking waves and bubbles on the sand to me, or maybe shells – how about :
Surf and Sand
Nautilus
Rippletide
Oh that’s lovely…
What about:
Whitecaps
Undulation
Wave Crest
Watching the Surf
It is lovely!!
How about Atlantique???
It is so pretty. How about Serene Surf Wrap or Serene Scallops?
Since some of my other thoughts have been used, how about “Through the Mist”?
Beautiful shawl, reminds me of picking up shells at daybreak on Captiva island, so I would call it “Captiva”
What a lovely shawl.. I am looking forward to casting this on. The names that come to me are
From the Promenade (of a ship, looking back at the wake of the ship)
Oceana
West Wind (the friendliest wind from the fairy tale East of the Sun and West of the Moon; but also because the it’s warm and brings spring)
what do you think of “sepiolite” ?
it’s a real beauty !!
Greetings

Beautiful! With roiling waves like that, I’d call it Tempest.
As a Floridian, I heartily endorse the previous suggestion of Captiva and add “Sanibel” as another option.
It reminds me of a song by Charles Trenet called “La Mer”, which talks about how the sea is the shepherd of the sky (the clouds being sheep); the phrase he uses is “Bergère d’azur.” So that’s my other suggestion. :)
I thought of Sea Foam. Lovely design!
I adore your shawl. It is lovely and I do like the name captiva, maybe captiva caplet sounds well merged. I have a question however, is this pattern charted only? I havent quite learned the whole charting process and read regular patterns, I am nervous to take on this project but it is so lovely and would make a wonderful gift for someone I love.
