It needs a good spa....uh, blocking

My alpaca Flower Basket Shawl is finished. I used almost all of the 250g of yarn I had, I even thought of weighing it before the second last repeat to find out when to knit the edge. It worked out beautifully, I have only a little ball of yarn left over.


No, one can't see the lace pattern before blocking. If nothing else, this picture is proof.

Nice couch, too :-)

Pictures, please, when it's blocked...that's going to feel amazing in alpaca.

I feel so...laceless...the urge is getting to be overwhelming and I have Kidsilk Haze in my stash now....
