Even though I had a previous post today and have picked up another project, I wanted to share some preliminary pictures of Sandy's Traveling Woman Shawl.
Last night, I only had a wee bit of yarn before beginning the bind off. So I wound the yarn I had dug out of my stash to use for the final cast off only.
Gertrude graciously consented to model. She feels the heat much less than I do. Of course it needs blocking and I have already passed along the blocking frame boards to Sandy to see if Robin could make a frame.
A good firm blocking should work its usual magic, accenting the points and opening the lace.
I couldn't resist a quick try on. Even if the wool room doesn't get the benefit of the air conditioning.
And now on to some of my previously started projects.

Nicely done! It looks delicate but warm! Wy is it called the traveling woman's shawl? Because the person you are giving it to is going on a trip?
