Well, here she is, finished. I haven't blocked it yet, I sort of enjoy the bit of ruffling the shawl gives when it's unblocked. This was one of the nicest knitting experiences. The fiber is a millspun from Brookfarm Alpaca, but this particular batch is a Blue Ribbon winning blanket fleece in a natural fawn color. It is so incredibly soft.
I'm planning on entering this gal in the Sonoma Couty Faire in July, so I will block it for that. I'll do comparison photos :). Ain't she a treat?
she is a beauty!
ReplyDeletei found you at ravelry from the fiber prep forum. i love the idea fermenting the wool to clean it. that is cool!
