Here is the Swallowtail Shawl from the Fall '06 (I think) Interweave Knits. Made with Morehouse Merino laceweight wool in Mermaid and trimmed with blue glass beads.



Actually, I finished it last November, but just got around to blocking it yesterday

So that's how those metal blocking thingers work! Nice job, it's so purty.

Yeah, you just run the wire through the edges and then you only need like eight or nine pins to secure the wire to the blocking surface. Even if the wires get a little bent, it's still more or less straight ... so much quicker and easier than pinning every point and scallop!
