It has been too long since I was here in this space last.
I have been knitting however. I finished Daybreak a while back with two skeins that I picked up at the WI Sheep and Wool Festival.
It is a wonderful knit - lightweight but substantial, hip but understated, eye-catching but not too busy.
Based on the way this shawl is knit you can either block it with points, or go for a more rounded edge. I tried the latter. I had some points saved up at my LYS and put them towards the purchase of a set of blocking wires. What a wonder they were to work with - and they gave me the promised rounded edge I was hoping for.
I have gotten many compliments on this shawl and am now tempted to try one of the other asymmetrical pattens - maybe Chadwick?
