Blocking My Multnomah Shawl: Finally!

My finished Multnomah Shawl is now pinned to the back of my chesterfield drying.

I decided to block it with more pointed than curved edges.

It was a frustrating project but that was my fault. Even though I checked out the Multnomah Shawl KAL to look for pattern problems and interpretations before I started, I still messed up! The fan and feather lace was knit wrong and ended up like a ruffle. Way too many stitches!  I ripped the shawl down to the garter stitch and knit up the fan and feather again. Voila, you see the result above.

When the shawl is dry and I have my chesterfield back, I''ll model my creation.

Happy knitting!

More Lace: My Multnomah Shawl

I've succumbed to the knitted lace shawl bug. After my first foray into the world of knitted lace with my ribbed lace bolero, I am taking the next step.

I've casted on the Multnomah Shawl. My detective work on Ravelry tells me it's good for beginners. So far, so good. Although, the feather and fan border that you finish the shawl with looks daunting for this knit lace beginner.

This is the center which I am so proud of figuring out, after ripping my work down too many times! Thanks Ravelry forums!

Of course, I joined the Multnomah Knit Along. Yes, another KAL!

Happy lace knitting!
