As I promised yesterday, here's the post blocking pictures of the Hail to the ... Kitchen Hanging Hand Towel. I 'spray' blocked it. Meaning, I used a spray bottle on the back of the knitting, flipped it upside down on the thick terry towel, and used a hot iron carefully from the back side. That makes the picture 'pop' on the front-the terry gives the stitches room to sink down into when you iron it from the back side.
Here's a close up of the block M...I promise that I had taken the two pictures at the same time, but the lighting on the 2nd picture outdoors looks funny. The color is much closer in the top picture. I used Lion Cotton in the Sunflower color.
This morning I also threw together another of Cathy's Beanies (pattern in the list over to the left <-----) in the large size. Daughter's boyfriend is coming with us to my parent's house for Thanksgiving. Last night it was 34*F BEFORE it got to it's coldest...poor kid is in for some temperature shock! AND, according to my Dad, there's a rumor that 12" of snow is expected before Thanksgiving! OH BOY! Isn't that going to be fun with the flight schedules?
OK, back to the hat. I used Paton's Classic Wool, in Bottle Green and Black. Easy peasy. Just so long as it does NOT hit the washer and dryer!
