As usual, I need help with blocking and Ivy is happy to oblige
Pattern: Yahoo Mystery Shawl 1, Now Goddess Knits Mystery Diamond
Yarn: Henry’s Attic Silk & Ivory, silk/merino blend, undyed, 4.9 oz = approx 625 yds. Cone purchased from Wool2Dye4 in Lynchburg.
Needles: Aero 32 in/80cm circular, US6/4.0mm
Gauge: Lace
Started: June 2005
Completed: August 2005
Finished Size: 76 inches x 36 inches
Notes:
The first mystery shawl, in five clues, one per week. Construction was simple, top down triangle, with each clue progressing from the previous. No border or edging. I modified the last two rows to exaggerate the scallop when blocked.
The Silk & Ivory is fingering wt, easy to work with, very soft, blocks well, with a beautiful sheen. It has continued to develop a bit of halo with wear. Holds its block well even packed away and traveling. It is very warm.
Won third prize at the 2005 State Fair of Virginia for Knitted Lace - Amateur
