Before:

It measures 24″ down the center back and has a 60″ wingspan.

After:

After a bath in warm water and woolwash, pinned out for blocking, it measures 30″ down the center back and has a wingspan of 70″.

To recap, this is the Two-Thirds Shawl (my own design) knit from Handmaiden Mini Maiden in the “Periwinkle” colorway, on 4mm needles. I used approximately 900 yards.

I did indeed finish the Bamboo Socks on Friday.

And Lucy is off for a nap with a friend after the excitement of helping me to block the shawl.

Have a great Sunday, and welcome to November and Standard Time. Wheeeeeeee!
