#lace knitting
It’s really warm and dry today so I guess it’s scarf washing and lace reblocking day.
Here’s why it’s a good idea to always gently re-block your lace shawls after washing:
Lace loses its definition after some time, the stitches pull close and the whole shawl basically shrinks a bit and distorts. Washing and blocking will open up the stitches again and you can pull them back into the shape they’re supposed to have. I found that washing my lace about once a year is enough, as the shawls don’t really get dirty with wear, and fewer washes are better when it comes to handspun yarn.

Love the lacy leaves! These would be awesome in a green or brown heather. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1059394640/knitting-pattern-for-fingerless-mitts
Making a fool of myself in front of the neighbours but having fun with it!
Sleeeeeeeve
Time for sleeves!!!
Once again providing enrichment for the spider brain. Scallops are tricky. These will end up being subtle but oh well. The rest of this one is going to be amazing.
Please ignore my shoes in the corner.
Your blocking method is feral and i love it.
And that shawl is AMAZING!!!
