We're driving up to the west coast for the upcoming week end. Home. To celebrate my aunts 50th birthday. It's going to be a huge family celebration, just how we like them.
I've made my aunt a Flower Basket Shawl. I'm pretty sure she'll love it. I sure like it a lot!
If I'm going to worry about something, it's the size of it. My aunt is a bit more broad shouldered than I am. I usually worry about things like this for no reason. I suppose most knitters do. Also, if it's on the small side she can keep it together with the pretty shawl pin she is getting along with the shawl.
I don't get to do proper omg-this-is-a-miracle blocking often. I don't knit enough lace for that. I have however come up with my own tecnique where other (lucky bastards) would use blocking wires;
KITCHEN STRING and the rigt kind of bed...

Lucky lady, your Aunt! The shawl looks amazing :)
It's beautiful! And even if your Aunt was a linebacker with broad shoulders it will look great on her!
Nydelig!
It's really stunning! The lace is so well-blocked out it's very light and airy, and the color is gorgeous.
Have a great time!
It's gorgeous, I bet she'll find a way to wear it no matter what.
Sjalet ble nydelig og jeg er sikker på at mottageren ble fornøyd. Hvilket garn og pinner brukte du?
Jeg fant opplysningene på Ravelry!
