Off the Needles

Just a quick one this morning - my Victorian Scarf is finally off the needles and awaiting blocking! Have a rather terrible photo of it laid out on my living room carpet, for measuring:

Hmmm, maybe I should have hoovered first.
I did 22 repeats in total, so it's now 44" long and 4" wide. Hopefully when I pin it all out it will be closer to 6" wide, as the edge is wavy but you can't really see that at the moment. I don't think it will get longer; if anything going wider might make it a bit shorter.

It may not fit on my ironing board. With any luck, I will get around to blocking it this weekend in time for the YOP update on Sunday.

Head on over to Tami's for more FOs (with better photography all around!).

  1. It looks great :) Can't wait to see it blocked, I love how things get so amazing through blocking (I'm pretty sure it's magic!)

  6. I agree it probably won't get any longer, but if you're lucky it might also not get any shorter when you stretch out the width.  I had a lacy scarf that pulled wide and didn't get much shorter at all, to my dismay (it is almost 8 feet long). Good luck!
