While waiting for some yarn I ordered from Austria to arrive, I decided to knit a little more on my Fair Isle Cowl, and managed to finish it in just a few days.

I had a lot of ideas regarding how to block it. In the end, I started by stretching it fiercely (way more than needed) between to chairs, and then I pinned it and adjusted both length and width until I liked the result.

Length before blocking: 140 cm
Length after blocking: 160 cm.
It’s very stretchy, and it would have worked if it had been a bit shorter, but NOT longer!

Total weight: 435 g, which equals almost 1800 m yarn.
