Well, I really wasn't comfortable starting another lace project with on already in the works. (Apparently I do have some boundaries.) So Caricia got bumped up to priority status and a sock went in my purse for travel knitting. Last week was VBS so I really didn't have much time to knit since my afternoons were consumed by errands and napping so I would be rested enough to inhabit a building with 250 children each morning. I had an administrative job this year, which I really much prefer, but those kids just absorb your energy as they walk by. I'm sure of it.
Anyway, this morning I finished Caricia! I took a few shots of before and during blocking because the process always reminds me of a butterfly opening it's wings for the first time.
Blah...
A good soak...
A bit of blocking...
(Have I mentioned how much I love these blocking wires?)
It's a nice warm day so it should dry quickly.
Now... back to those cardigans. Hmmm...

And it turned out GORGEOUS.
Way to go!!! It's amazing!
beautiful
I need to knit some lace just to experience the blocking.
Those kids do sap your energy. This year I'm just dropping off my boys and not working. I needed a break.
Mine is done too. But the blocking won't happen until I can free up the board from dog barricade duty. So tomorrow I plan to block. And start Ishbel!
Oh, my...that is amazing. You must be tickled pink. What colorway is that? It looks like an opal, gorgeous color. Sigh....
I love your lace, but I'm really looking forward to those finished cardigans, having been on a similar quest for the last several years!
Wow, that turned out gorgeous!!!
your knits are looking so beautiful! i haven't knit in months, but when i see work like yours, it makes me wish i wanted to;o)
Ohhhhh, it's simply beautiful! The stitches are so intricate! Love it!
The child looking over my shoulder wondered how long you've been knitting?
Blessings,
