Testing the Process

My efforts last year, resulted in an 11.5 inch doily, but using Susan's blocking circle, I was able to block it to 13.5 inches. What a difference more blocking has made.

Funny because I like the first one better but they both are a work of art.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing the results you can get when you use the right tool for the job!
ReplyDeleteIt's really beautiful Nancy! The right tool did make a difference.
ReplyDeleteThat's neat! I have some doilies that could use some blocking.
ReplyDeleteVery nice and certainly worth the effort!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful Nancy! Now I see why one needs to block.
ReplyDeleteWow, that really opened up the stitch pattern! It makes me want to knit one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference. It really makes your doily much more lacy. Definitely worth the work.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Blocking is magic... but I still don't enjoy it. I'd rate it just above seaming, but not as high as weaving in ends, which I don't mind so much.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It makes a big difference!
ReplyDeleteThat's cool!!!!! Very nice. I like the more "stretched out" version too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful now you will have to share your starch recipe:)
