I spent most of a meeting today working on this while I listened to the speakers. I finished 10 mins before the end of the meeting. Very nice came home and blocked it at 10 pm. When you start to block something so late at night you are not thinking clearly, what was I thinking...
I bought lace blocking wires last year for projects like this and did I use them? No! I did it the hard way with pins because I was not awake enough to remember or realize I could have done it in 1/5th of the time. Oh well it is done and I like it a lot.
Forgot to take a photo before being blocked. It did measure 6 inches by 45inches now it measures 9inches by 60 inches. I played with it once I had it all done blocking (used a hair dryer to get it done faster no patience with it so I should have used the wires would have been even faster) to see how I might wear it so many ways I like here are a few of them. There are a few I did not take photos of but that would have been over kill if this isn't already.
This is gorgeous Wendy! I love it! ♥

ReplyDeleteOh I wish you had a pattern for this...purple is my favorite color and this design is one of the prettiest I've seen...love it...is there somewhere I can find a pattern that is something like this? I know this is your own design but would love to make one...thanks
ReplyDeletego to the link below this is what the purple ice was based on visually just didn't own the pattern at that time. I have since purchased it. With minor difference it is the same and the differences it does have no one will notice it will look the same. Alpine scarf
