Blocking and Rocking...

Dragonfly "Wings" is blocking...it's always a little scary when you are working with a fiber that grows when wet...but happy when you get to make up the pattern such that it takes that into consideration :)  It blocked to measurements perfectly!  (My math skills are rusty but in working order :)) I have totally enjoyed working on this and it will be so light and soft when complete.  Next step will be to knit edgings and decide just how many wings a Dragonfly should have :)

"Magical" is progressing nicely...I finally decided on the colorwork pattern and partially completed the pattern around the lower hem - a little tricky when knitting the body flat in one piece AND decreasing for an a-line shape at the same time but I chose the colorwork band taking that into consideration so the decreases will be hard to spot - yay...pictures soon :)

Of course, the project count briefly dropped so I am swatching for a little vest / shell out of Cotton Supreme - think cables and seed stitch - great yarn - carried at Only Ewe and Cotton Too...
