That there be a finished object.

The Strawberry Pie shawl is off the blocking pads and ready to show on backgrounds that won't strike you blind.

On the back of my couch:

It really would look nice there permanently, wouldn't it?

Me and the camera timer, we're not such good friends. But hey, I'm doin' what I can.

Unfortunately, the yarn went kind of... stringy feeling when I blocked it, I guess because it was stretched so hard in the process. It's a shame, because it was wonderfully soft and snuggly while I was working on it. I would absolutely use the Elann Baby Silk again, but not on something that's blocked so hard.
