By the time I cast off, I had a short ruffly blob and little twinges of panic were starting to nibble at me. So it sat and sat some more, because if you don't try to block it or felt it or sew it together, you can keep telling yourself that it's going to work out just fine.
Last night, I wove in the ends and spread it out on the living room floor and guess what?
Seems like you can block this stuff after all!
Pattern: Bigfoot Shawl (from Wrapped in Comfort by Allison Jeppson Hyde)
Yarn: 3 Skeins Patons Kroy 3 ply
Needles: I can't remember -- whatever size the pattern called for.
Who told you you can't block a blend like that? Of course you can!
ReplyDeleteOh, duh, I hit send too soon (smacks forehead.) Backing up... That is a gorgeous shawl. Thank you for the photo, it is so cool to see what others have done with those patterns!
ReplyDeleteThe coloring looks lovely in that pattern! Wear it in good health!
ReplyDeleteI was just ogling this pattern this week, thinking about requesting that book from Interlibrary Loan. I really do love yours-- I think I'll put it on my short list of to-do's.
ReplyDeleteWOW Michelle - that is gorgeous!! Beautiful pattern - beautiful yarn! and it sure looks like it blocked out perfectly!
