The best thing since.......
Oh my gosh - I love these blocking wires! I've had straight blocking wires for quite a while now but recently found these very thin flexible ones - they are outstanding! The perfect solution for edges like those on my shawl. This was the merino/tussah silk I spun from Butternut Woolens hand-dyed roving. The blocking wires are from InSpinKnitty on etsy. The pattern is called the Holden Shawlette by Mindy Wilkes, I found it on Ravelry. Obviously this is not a shawlette - I repeated the pattern 9 1/2 times to get a full size shawl. I think these colors will be great with jeans......little too warm out now for it but could wear it on the coast.

This shawl is gorgeous! I love the frilly edge. And, those blocking wires...those are awesome! I'm going to have to look for some of those!
ReplyDeleteOh that is gorgeous. It turns out that the yarn I entered in the fair is that same blend, so sayeth the friend who gave me the roving on my blog this week. Earth to Sharon. It needs to be lace - hope I can make lace as pretty as yours!
