Icterine with my iPad mini for perspective |
The Norwegians celebrate the 17th of May with lots of RED, white and blue. That's why I used all my "free" time to finish and block this shawl. It's called a CURL, however, mine didn't curl much, and it could have used another 2-3 skeins.
LOOK at what the blocking did!! The cables were 8x8 and really thick and bulky until a soak and a stretch produced this great design!
If you look at the above photo closely, you might notice a bangle and beads in the bottom corner. I intended to dress it up with a row of these. It didn't happen, because life goes on, so I might get to it another time. Should they be placed randomly or along an edge?
