Blocking

Funny shawl:
Here it is pre-blocking.

Then the foot-work.

And what it looks like when wet.

And in final shape.
Color:  Straw, this is the best true color match.

I re-shaped it several times.  There wasn't a diagram and I first tried it in a crescent shape.  As a crescent I couldn't make the points pop.
 It will probably be a favorite this winter as a "scarf" and used wrapped around my neck.  It's very lovely soft, except the beads... will they be cold?
Modeling later.

    I can't believe you already finished it! Maybe I lost touch with the time, but it seems super fast. I like it very much and I'm curious about the beads too ( will it be harder to wash and dry, will they make noises when wearing them, etc).
