This knit project was the first time that I used my new blocking wires. Sooooooooo much easier to block with wires! I wish I hadn't waited so long before I invested in them. Here's a couple of links that I found useful: Also, I recently found Eucalan, a no rinse delicate wash. It's a little pricey ($5.00 for 3.3 oz) but for those really delicate things you don't want to handle a lot when wet, it's perfect.
Here are the details: Yarn: One skein Silky Alpaca Lace (Turquoise Shadow) by Classic Elite color:
Pattern: Forest Canopy Shawl
Needle Sizes: #4 switched to #6 for binding off.
Finished Size: 44"x 21½"
Notes: I knit to 291 stitches for the main pattern before working the border. I added two additional rows of border (for a total of 18 border rows before working the bind-off).
