~ 48,090 stitches later....FINISHED!


Teddy says "Doesn't it feel good to be so close to being done?" I say "Yeah!"
BTW, this is as close to the real color of any of the pictures that I've taken.


I gave it a good soak in Soak.


I thought blocking might be time consuming and difficult but this was a breeze.




Dried and released from the blocking wires.





All it needs now is to be packaged up and sent .
The info:
Early birthday gift for 2nd DDIL. Hope she likes it! And more importantly...uses it!
Pattern: Upstairs Shawl (Ravelry link)
Dye Dreams Sox Luster. A little over 2 skeins. Color: Brick
Size 7 needle to cast on and cast off.
Size 5 needle for everything else.
14 repeats instead of 10.
Unblocked size 13.5" X 49".
Blocked size 18" X 67".
The yarn is very soft. I learned to live with the striping/pooling.
The pattern is super easy. I'd make it longer another time though.
Yippy Skippy. I'm done!
