Notes

Finally, my pics are done! I got my tiny model to help me. I need a better way to take pics of myself in my shawls. :) I’m super happy with the two-colour version of this shawl. It’s amazing what a difference a simple colour change can make.

About blocking: This edge wants to curl. If you’re trying to block a straight, flat edge, you will need about a thousand pins. Also, I blocked the WHOLE THING, not just the lace. I really spread out the stockinette bits, too. I didn’t want the lace to pucker in a too-small stockinette frame.

The cotton/linen blend feels nice and cool on -- very different from my usual merino shawls. I like it.
