After Blocking

This is the first time I have properly blocked anything I've made.  A terrible admission I know, but this has mainly been because I just did not have anywhere that I cold pin the item out, damp it and leave to dry.  Then, a few weeks ago I bought a pile of childrens' foam 'jigsaw' mats for €2 at a local brocante...

..so this is the result of my first blocking experience...

Amari cloud final 1

I certainly think it is vastly improved by blocking.

I am only 24 rows away from the lace edging to the second Amari now...

G'day penny. You are doing really well with the shawl. Are they for gifts or do you sell them? Take care. Liz...

It does give a better finish, I don't often do it though!
