Blocked

Realised that if I wanted to wear the Olympic shawl on Saturday night it needed to be blocked; so got up at an even more inhuman hour than usual this morning and wet-blocked it. When I got back tonight and went upstairs to view it, the Patent Dryness Test had been passed...



.. on the principle that No Cat Willingly Sits on Something Wet.

The pattern has come out well, and it's blocked to shape without losing much of the drape, so I'm really pleased with it... A close-up:

That is *gorgeous*. The border really does look like a work of art now!
