Same miraculous transformation every time one blocks a shawl! I finished the knitted-on edge late last night, and decided to wash and block it before going to bed. It was dry in the morning, so now it's just waiting to be wrapped around my friend Annika's shoulders.
This is a project I will associate with many pleasant things; to name just two:
1. The memorable afternoon I met up with fellow Raveler Ian to go yarn hunting in Stockholm. This yarn was my prey.
2. The company of my greatcolleagues. We started a knitting and sewing group a couple of months ago, and last night Mimmi invited us and our projects to her beautiful house outside Uppsala. After a long and unusually cold winter, being able to spend a warm and light evening in a garden felt almost surreal. We were quite spoiled too: home-made rhubarb pie and elderflower juice. Delicious!

Ohhh. I love the thrill of blocking. :)
What a wonderful shawl! Annika is very lucky!
it is quite spectacular!
And I love anything elderflower. That is a striking piece of work!
You have done it again. The cape is gorgeous and I went out and bought the book. Sure many things to whet the appetite. We don't have rhubarb in Mexico so when I am in Canada I make sure I always make a couple of pies.
