That is beautiful, Shelagh! Tell us how you blocked it, as I will
be blocking a shawl this year, if all goes well. Higs, Katherine Thank you Katherine. I followed the instructions that came with the pattern. I put it in the sink to get it soaking wet. Gently squeezed the water out, rolled it in a towel, and don't wring it. Then laid it out on the towels, made sure the centre line was straight, pinned the very bottom feather first, then the top of the shawl. After that I alternated side to side pinning the crochet edging until it was all done. Now, I wait until it dries. In this case, they recommend a very light spray of starch to help the points keep their shape. Shelagh |

The sound of my jaw hitting the desk:
KLUNK!!! Now where do I find the time to make a masterpiece like that? Not likely for a while. "Shillelagh" wrote in message ... is up for THE shawl. It's blocking on the floor, but you'll get the idea. Woo hoo!!!! http://tinyurl.com/3a3b59 Shelagh |

"Jan" wrote in message ... That's a stunning design. Wear it with pride and pleasure. What needles did you use? Thank you. I used a metal 3.5 mm circular, which eventually wasn't long enough when I had over 300 stitches on it. So, I bought an Addi Turbo lace 47" circular. I wish I had bought it sooner. Those needles are a dream to work with. I wanted to order the Knit Picks wooden Harmony needles but they're out of stock. So in the meantime I've ordered a 3.00 mm and a 3.25 mm metal circular from them to compare with the Addi. I have a new shawl pattern I want to try, called The Hanami: http://pinklemontwist.blogspot.com/2007/02/hanami.html However, I have Christmas knitting to finish up first (smile) and two pairs of socks for me. Both pairs are at least half done. Shelagh |
