The Rose headscarf is finished!

Because I derive much amusement from this, pre-blocking...

Where you can see how the changes in stitches pull the fabric into bumps and valleys.

And post-blocking...

And how the blocking pulls it all flat and brings out the pattern.

I made up the pattern, using the Ostrich Plume lace pattern from Barbara Walker's Treasury. Yarn is some rose-coloured hand-dyed merino by Robyn at ReBelle.

Other knitting news, I'm swatching for some socks.

Very cool! It's so neat how it started off all puckered.

Yea, that's part of the fun of knitting lace. Taking a wrinkled mess and transforming it into something beautiful and lace with a bit of water and some pins.
