The Lace Scarf


I finished the lace scarf and it's busy being blocked.  Gilbert the Great and Terrible was of course busy guarding it and Bob was teasing him that he was "going to touch the knitting!" 

It is so soft and I love the pattern and the color but it is not keeping blocked well.  It keeps rolling in on itself.  I'm thinking it may be the silk mixed in with the wool, I've come to understand the silk doesn't block as well as pure wool.

I'm going to block it again and leave it for a couple days, I'll show pics when I'm done...

Oh, it is so pretty! I will plan on a visit to touch it, too, soon! Good work!
