Swallowtail blocking
Swallowtail blocking, originally uploaded by lyndsey-jane.
I got around to blocking the Swallowtail Shawl tonight. I managed to get hold of some foam maps to use as blocking boards and boy! does it make life easier. I am really pleased with this shawl and can’t wait to wear it next week when Mum and I go to Dancing on Ice tour.
Gorgeous work, ma’am. I haven’t quite screwed up my courage to tackle lace, but… yours is certainly a worthy example to aim for.

Looks lovely! Those foam mats are a wonderful invention, so glad I invested in some.

Love the idea of the mats, whose ever it was. Brilliant!
