DUN scarf (part2)

ok, got it out of the "soak" (sorry, i rinsed - i know it said not to but the smell was too strong).


was on the floor attempting to pin/block it & T walks thru....now he's been having a lot of pain & is tired cause sleeping hurts ~~hey, can i like use pulleys & rope & suspend him so he can sleep standing up??~~ oh, sorry, the blocking thing,




soooo he's standing at the door saying "what are you doing" then says "WHAT is that smell?" ha ha ha, and i thought it was just me :P
i explain about the "soak" and mention i'm sorry i used it & he goes "ME TOO!" Lord, i love that boy, he is too funny! (just a note: i didn't even use the amount of soak stuff it said & i diluted it BIG time)

i tried not to block it too severely & tried to follow the line on the board to keep it straight, then decided i kinda liked the scallopy (is that a word?) way the border was going. i do understand why people buy the blocking wires, i might have to get some!


sorry scarf pal ----you might have to wash & re-block. it's now measuring about 74" x 10". i hope it fluffs back out - i liked the texture pre-washed better!

Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou! The texture is just fine and who wants perfectly straight lines on a scarf! Pah!!! It is absolutely beautiful and incredibly soft - I love that its so long too. Thanks too for all the other goodies, I'll post a blog about them later today.
