I finally finished one of my longest running projects, the River Scarf for Silere.



Knit from Fiber Trend's River Scarf pattern with Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud in Tidepool. This shot shows the detail of the pattern, the river stream between grassy banks.


Love the picot edging.



And just because I like to see the transformation:

Oh, wow. Great job! I'm really looking forward to doing some lace of my own now. (See what you've done to me? *grin*)

Holy wow. That looks just amazing!!!

How do you personally block? I know everyone has their own preferences. I noticed a blocking board on another post -- was that terribly expensive? I know yarn is always worth it (^_^), but is there a homemade substitute? I haven't blocked anything before, and now I'm feeling all kinds of guilty that I haven't. :)
