I finished the Flower Basket Shawl on Monday and finished blocking it yesterday. Below is a picture of it unblocked. I love doing before and after shots of lace. It makes the tedium of blocking so much easier.

And for the finished look….

  • Pattern – Flower Basket Shawl
  • Needle size- 5US / 3.75 Clover Bamboo Needles
  • Yarn – mystery yarn that I think had some wool and some nylon in it

Kiri – Finally Blocked
Originally uploaded by AkamaiKnitter.
Project Notes – March 2006

  • Pattern – Kiri Shawl from All Tangled Up
  • Yarn – Douceur et Soie (Faun)
  • Needles: Inox Express size 7US / 4.5mm
Finally, after 3 months, I blocked the Kiri shawl. I finished this in March and was finally inspired to block it when I realized that this would be a nice gift for my friend Wendy from Quantum Spindles.. She doesn’t really wear shawls, but she does wear brown, and I think everyone should have one cuddly shawl to wear.
