Blah blah blah

300g Knitwitches silk + 12 days knitting = another spidery shawl. This time the full hexagon spider’s web from VLT.

If you’re making this one, be warned. The yardage printed is a gross underestimate. I had more yarn than the pattern called for and still had to stop early and forgo the crochet cast off.

I haven’t blocked it. It’s huge. See that futon it’s on? That’s where I block. It’s already the width of a double bed so I’m buggered if I know where I can pin it out undisturbed for a couple of days. I need a frame I think. Or a spatial distortion device. It’s only really the outer cobwebby bit that needs a spritz and a stretch, the middle is mostly ok apart from the odd iffy stitch.

It’s very hard to get a decent photo of it as it’s so very large and I’m only three inches tall.

Still, at least it should catch a fair few flies.

And now I am returned to that twilight world of Between Projects.
