Finished Things - Blocked

Here are photos of my first two lace projects after they were blocked using the EZ Blockers I ordered from Fiddlesticks Knitting. (They were, indeed, EZ to use.)

My 5'7" dress dummy wearing the Koigu Kersti shawl (pattern in previous post).

Sorry about the photo, I had to take it myself.

Artisan NZ Merino Laceweight Feather & Fan Scarf

That scarf uses just one ball of the yarn, and is a great take-along project. The ball is teeny-tiny and the yarn is almost a cobweb weight - stretchy, but surprisingly sturdy. In Feather & Fan lace, there is one easy pattern row, and then three rows of garter stitch, so once you've done a few repeats you won't need to take a pattern around. A little ball of yarn and a little cable needle tossed in your bag and you can take your knitting anywhere, and have a great holiday gift for someone in no time. Very good hot-weather knitting! However, I should've gone down a needle size or two - I used a 3, and I think it's a bit too open, though I didn't block it tightly.

Have a great day!
