Sharing Fiber Arts from Puget Sound and the Central Valley of California
About Me
- Quail Hill Knits
- Washington/California, United States
- My joy (aside from my husband, kids and Schipperke dogs) is any aspect of the fiber arts. I knit, spin, weave, embroider and sew any chance I get. Currently, I alternate my time between my home in Washington State and a second home in near Fresno, California. My husband and I are each counting the days when he can retire and we won't have to commute to California any longer.

I'm always impressed with the precision of your blocking. I'm a lazy blocker, and usually just pass a steam iron over the thing and call it blocked. That is a beautiful piece, but what's it for? I don't remember any posts about this WIP.
I really must obtain a blocking board. So far, it hasn't been necessary, but I think it must be really handy when doing lace and looking for a specific measurement.
YH is on the money - your blocking is quite superb.
This should be the post people get sent to when they wonder why they might want to block their knitting. I would have been a believer much sooner!
What a pretty lace pattern. Does it have a name?
