Done!

The red Birch shawl is done. After red hands, red knitting needles and running out of yarn right at the end and needing to get another ball of Rowan kidsilk spray, it is finished. I was planning on sending it to the recipiant without blocking but then my new blocking wires arrived.

I love the blocking wires but they are not child proof. As I was blocking th shawl Joanna was in the living room bending two of the wires.

To give you an idea of the red dye problem here is the thing being washed.


It took four rinses to get the water to run clear.

Here are the blocking wires in action.

And finally, the finished item!
