A nice solution together with an example LyX file is at:

Thanks, Paul. Yes, I know how to resume a particular enumerate
environment using mdwlist, but I have other reasons for using the
enumitem package, so I'd like to be able to resume enumerates with
enumitem, both locally and globally.

I don't think there's any way to do this, short of modifying your
layout
file. I believe I filed an enhancement request on this very matter a
while back. You might want to file another one, just in case.
Basically,
what one wants is a way to add optional arguments to environments.
This
can actually be done with non-list environments already: Just just put
"[argument]" in ERT immediately after you invoke the environment.
But it
won't work with lists, because the \item for the first item
intervenes.
But there ought to be a neat way to do it, generally, anyway.
That said, the solution is to modify the layout file. I haven't tested
this, but something like the following ought to work:
Style Renumerate
Margin Static
LatexType Item_Environment
LatexName renumerate
NextNoIndent 1
LeftMargin MMN
LabelSep xx
ParSkip 0.0
ItemSep 0.2
TopSep 0.7
BottomSep 0.7
ParSep 0.3
Align Block
AlignPossible Block, Left
LabelType Enumerate
Preamble
\newenvironment{renumerate}{\begin{enumerate}[resume]}{\end
{enumerate}}
EndPreamble
End
Basically, we're creating a new environment, renumerate, that is just
enumerate with the optional argument we want. Everything else is
simply
stolen from the stdlists.inc definition for Enumerate. The counters in
LyX won't display appropriately, but they should be right when you
compile.

Thank you, Richard. I'll try your suggested modification of the
layout file for resuming enumerates globally. But in the meantime,
suppose I wish to use the package enumitem to resume enumerates
_locally_, for a particular enumerate environment. With the mdwlist
package, you can write in ERT
\suspend{enumerate}
\resume{enumerate}
with a standard flush left paragraph in between. I'm looking for a
similarly simple way to use the enumitem package to resume enumerates.
