This morning I had a blob. A great knitted blob of color. It showed very little hope of being much more.
In fact, I kept comparing my blob to the other Shetland Triangle Shawls that were displayed on Ravelry.
I was almost sure that I had done something wrong. No doubt I had ssk'd when I should've k2tog'd. But I couldn't find the mistake.
But alas, the magic of blocking.
The Dream in Color Smooshy I used is incapable of pooling and the colors are always so varied and rich. The top picture is probably the closest to the overall color I used (Chinatown Apple), but you can see the variety in the close-ups.
Dry, baby, dry!

Gorgeous work!
Ooooh! Lovely! Blocking is my favourite part.
It's like a ugly little caterpillar turning into a butterfly. Too poetic? Sorry, that's the first thing that came to mind. Love it.
*drooool*
That is beautiful!! You just can't go wrong with Dream in Color.
That really is lovely! I'll have to knit something that needs to be blocked like that just so I can see the magic myself.
Tammy, that's really beautiful. And I had no idea that the Dream in Colour wouldn't pool - it looks amazing! :0)
Gorgeous! Simply Gorgeous! There are no more words for this work you've done in that wonderful color.
Tammy, that is absolutely beautiful. Don't you just love DIC?
I would never have guessed that blocking could be so great!!!!
Hooray!!! Beautiful!
No, what is amazing is that you can't find yourally relat cell phone (something I totally relate to) but you can knit lace. It's like a superpower. And the shawl is lovely.
And I can spell, but my thumb apparently drags over my mouse pad. Sorry.
Wow! That is gorgeous. I love blocking. It's like a little bit of magic in an ordinary day.
Gorgeous!!! How hard has the lace bug hit??? I'm glad you got your hand out of the couch too. I hope you aren't holding your breath waiting for your sock yarn. Honey forgot to mail it while I was gone!!! You get what you pay for, you know!
