Good reason tohave a few more projects on the needles to break things up a bit! I have blocking wires - you do get a really symmetrical finish but if you have a good eye then why bother? You're welcome to borrow mine to try out.

I've never actually blocked anything (other than socks) - is that shocking? Clearly with the smskal that will need to change. I didn't realise how thick those wired I lent you are. Lemme know how you got on :) Did you try the blocking wires? I’ve never actually blocked anything (other than socks) - is that shocking? Clearly with the smskal that will need to change.

Mind you, I couldn't have pinned a triangular shawl out in 8 minutes before I got them! Your mystery shawls both look great - and who can have too many shawls?

Glad you decided to knit it ;o) These mystery shawls caught my eye, what a great stitch ... got to look it up on Ravelry. Love the yarn for your Shetland Shorty. Glad you decided to knit it ;o)

Especially if they're totally different colours..! I think you can never have too many pretty shawls. Especially if they’re totally different colours..!

Looks good, I'd have room for 2, for sure! I’m not knitting the mystery shawl, it looks lovely, don’t think I’ve got anything suitable to knit it with either.
