After a week off line, yarnsmith.co.uk is up and running again and appears to be non-the worse for idling in cyber-space for 7 days. Many thanks to all those who left messages of sympathy and support both on the blog and on the answer machine.
One positive amidst all the hassle is that I've finished the lace! Once I'd got my head around knitting on the border it was actually quite easy (I had of course chosen a pattern that only has a border on two sides, so didn't have to do anything technical round corners!) but I really enjoyed this project and am fired up for the next one.
Just have the simple task of "blocking" to size and am still debating the best method - certainly don't fancy plunging mohair in to water and hoping for the best. The current plan is to cover our bed with an appropriate sized towel, laying out the shawl and spritzing with warm water before easing into shape - may even leave out the pinning! Has anybody got any other ideas?
(Photos will follow once the lace is looking its very best!)
