I was trying to decide if I wanted to block it or not, I think it's got great texture unblocked - and I really like it this way. I love in that first photo, that you can see the art. It's a piece by Christian Lassen of a purple Hawaiian sunset, and it's one of my favorite pieces.
I don't know why I've been so interested in knitting scarves and wraps lately, maybe because gauge doesn't matter quite as much. Maybe because if I don't like it for myself, I can always hang onto it and gift it to someone later (who'd do that with a sweater, hehehe?!?!?!)
See what I mean about the texture? It's kind of nice this way, I'm leaning towards not blocking it. Any thoughts?
This is just gorgeous. You should be so proud of yourself for this. I would love to learn how to do this in the future. :c)
ReplyDeleteWow -- it's beautiful. I love the movement in it!
ReplyDeleteYour Lace Ribbon Stole is just beautiful! While I cannot knit (although my mother-in-law tried to teach me) and I cannot crochet (and on this my mother tried to teach me), I can appreciate beautiful work. The stole is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI'd leave it as-is. I think blocking will take away a lot of the character. It's just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSuper pretty! It looks great just like that!
