FO - Lavanda Lace Ribbon Stole

Lavanda Lace Ribbon StoleProject specs - see it on Ravelry!
This was a super impulsive cast on, and after I started I really wondered to myself why I would knit another lace ribbon project. I was happy to finish it up before the Ravelympics, though - even though I'm only posting it now.

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?

    Your 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!!

    I'd leave it as-is. I think blocking will take away a lot of the character. It's just gorgeous.
