All the knitted pieces are finished now I have to block, which by the way I don't go to too much bother with blocking, I have always just used a damp tea towel and iron and voila my pieces are blocked. Purists are cringeing now but I find unless it is a very heavy lace pattern this is all that is needed and I always press on the wrong side of the piece. There are a lot of ends to sew in so that will take a while and then the final piecing together and sewing up, so hopefully by the end of the day I may just have a finished item. Must go now, I can feel eyes peering at me to see if I am off the computer yet!!

Dear Sharon - I'm, a bit slow : the Rowanspun came from The Wool Shack. It was on super sale, I think it has been discontinued so it was just the leftovers. I forgot, too, to bring your photocopy of the aran shrug. I will bring that, and the little pg socks to the cafe next week!!!
Will you bring the squirrel jacket and the wool so we can all fondle ???

I totally agree with you on the blocking thing - I never block properly - a swift iron with a steam iron on the wrong side seems to do the trick for me. Nothing wrong with that !
The cardi looks fantastic by the way.
