WIP Wednesday

I’ve only been working on these couple of things that are actual WIPs.

The Angee sock is coming along, and so is Chou-gok (Little Mums).  Plus I’m trying to work out how to spin my next yarn, but I’ll do a big post on that when I actually spin something.

I finished this yesterday, so I shall show you some pictures of blocking.  This is my Geoui shawl, one of my latest designs, and it was inspired by the edging from Kali’s Cowl.

Pre-blocking:

It looks so different in the sun.  It’s so shiny.  I would say the above picture captures the colors best.

Clearly the scallops are rounded, but a bit ruffly, and the dcs have a definite wave about them.  It’s a bit accordion like, actually.

I wanted nicely rounded scallops still, so I pinned out every single picot.  Seriously.

Full shot of the whole shawl.  Sort of.  I couldn’t capture the right edge.  (I’m too short, even when standing on a chair!)

Detail shot.  It was sooo worth it to pin out every picot.  It’s drying, so no unpinned blocked pictures.

The pattern will be tested as soon as I finish writing it up.  The hardest part is the chart.  If not for that, the pattern would be done already!
