Blocked!
Finally. Border grafted, threads darned in, scarf/shawl washed and blocked. Okay, I didn't do a great job at blocking, so shoot me. I don't care. I'm happy. The pins wouldn't really stay in place without a rigid board underneath and I couldn't find a straight edge and I was too impatient so the edges are not perfectly straight or perpendicular to each other and the little points are not equidistant, blah blah blah…
Those of you who are under the misguided impression that I am perfectionist, please, revise your mental image of me and file under a different label.
I can't wait for the scarf to be dry. BTW, I dont' know what to call this thing: scarf, shawl? Suggestions? It's too small for a shawl but the ratio between width and length doesn't make it look like a scarf. It's a ULT (unnamed lacey thingy).

a stole maybe?
How many yards did you eat up doing that? I have some lace weight that would look great in that pattern, but don't know if I have enough. Not that I have time to take on a big lace project... but whatever.

Perhaps it is a stole?! Whatever the technical term, it looks wonderful.

I was always under the impression that a lacy large rectangular garment was called a "stole" and that a shawl was usually a triangular shape.

I think it looks great! I don't fuss too much over the edges either ... life is too short, you know.
I think something a bit bigger than a scarf (rectangle in shape) is called stole ... don't know if it is right.

Francesca, è bellissima! Ti è riuscita perfettamente. Le T-pins funzionano sicuramente meglio dei normali spilli.ciao B
