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.

Handspun handknit ribbon lace scarf

Here's my Ribbon Lace Scarf - it's handspun merino/tussah silk and handknit. I put this in the gallery at the NWRSA conference early in June and won First Place and Best of Class for it - very fun. The pictures just don't do it justice.
