Transposition shawl

Posted on April 20, 2016 by Lucyannluna

..
This shawl is made from s single skein of sock yarn. I purchased the shawl project book one by Joanne Scrace, this is my first shawl from the book. I’m surprised how large it grew after my extreme blocking.

This shawl is for my friend & fellow physics teacher, she looked a little worried when yesterday I told her I hoped her present would dry in time.

I also made a small corsage. The yarn was by Kate Selene, it was fantastic & she included an extra mini skien as a nice surprise ( used for the corsage)

Debra loved it.

It is beautiful! “extreme blocking” <<< do tell! I am a blocking virgin (other than squares/small motifs) and really think the wrap I just finished needs it. Thanks!

I love the sound of extreme blocking! A dangerous sport for women in the needle/hook arts! But it has results in in a lovely lacy shawl, and seemingly very economical!

  It’s the only sport I would gladly take part in.

    With you on that one! Sport is for people who don’t have the fine motor skills to sew, knit, crochet, etc. 🙂

Fabulous! I’ve done some extreme blocking myself. Lacy things seem to need it 😛

That’s gorgeous! It never ceases to amaze me how large a piece one can create from a single skein of yarn. You did a wonderful job. 🙂

I love the shawl, it brings out the uniqueness of the wool so well. I have some wool I tried dyeing myself I’ve been sitting on, I might give this a try!
