Today, we have some lovely Claudia Handpaints Linen in “Blue Fields”

Isn’t it gorgeous? I just picked up a copy of Folk Style today, and I’m thinking that the lovely green shawl in there (Kate Gilbert’s “Paisley Shawl”) might be the destiny of this yarn.Oh, and regarding the blog post title from the last post? It wasn’t size that Steph was talking about so much as… um… on-display-ness, if you will. :D

Charlotte’s Web is still cranking along - I’m almost to the point of doing the final color by itself, and then I just need to do the crocheted edging and block it!

Speaking of blocking, did I remember to tell you about my Mystery Stole? I wore it on Friday, including out to dinner Friday night in Philly. When we got back to the hotel and I tossed it onto the bed, I looked at it and thought it looked odd. It was so hot and humid that night that my stole started to UNBLOCK! I kid you not - the straight section is now narrower than the wing, and the edges are curling a little. Annemarie and I cracked up. So, it’s time for another wash and block. I’m wondering if I can pin and spritz or steam instead of doing a full-on wash, though, because the wing still looks good.
