I finished the shawl in October 2007 and finally blocked it May 2008. I like the waffles the stitch pattern made and did not want to block them out.
I did not apply too much tension when blocking barely enough to open the lace but not so that it would loose texture. The end result is almost what I wanted.
Pattern by Anne Hanson
Yarn: My Handspun
Indigo Dyed Corridale. The roving was dyed at the Wasatch Woolpack Park City Retreat July, 2006
Aprox 1200 yds
Needles: US 6
I like the color variation, it blends in but does not strike or pool.

WoW! It's stunning! Daphne waves Hi!
Smarty, now you can spin your own lace yarn and it is just beautiful. Congratualations on such a great job. You are a terrific knitter.
I am seeing a bit of sun today. Hoping the weather holds for a good picture session. (g)
Wow, Laritza! Those shawls are beyond fabulous. The Forest Path one with the lilies of the valley and leaeskzxq5m, etc, is one of the loveliest I have ever seen, Joanna
So beautiful! Every time that I visit and you show something like that, I start to feel guilt about my lace shawl languishing in it's bag......
