I knit at breakfast.
I knit in the afternoon.
I knit in the car.
I knit in the car some more.
I knit at breakfast again.
I knit in the car. I also knit in the evening but those photos never look good.
I knit until I ran out of yarn and had to dye more to match. This is totally true and one of the best reasons to dye your own yarn. This assumes you can remember how you got that amazing color.
I knit until I had finished the darn thing. This is pre-blocking. Because you can't see the magic of blocking if you don't compare the pre-blocked shawl to the blocked shawl.
I love pulling out the last set of eyelets to make little points on this shawl. It is so much easier than trying to get a gentle curve and I think the shawl has more impact.
Blocking opens up those double yarn-overs.
Each wedge has its own color story.
I used a little over 250 grams of yarn for this shawl. I think it is a great size for a shawl.
