Stretching the Moth
Wing o' the Moth is on the cutting blocking board.
Wing o' the Moth è sul piano da taglio bloccaggio.
Pipie tried to chew a couple of pins — and he had just had breakfast — before deciding they weren't edible after all.
Pipie ha cercato di masticare un paio di spille — e aveva appena fatto colazione — prima di decidere che non erano commestibili.
I LOVE the scalloped edges…
Mi piacie moltissimo il bordo a "conchiglie"…
and the deep, dusty blue.
e il blu intenso e polveroso.
As pesky as Kid Silk Haze was to knit, I enjoyed the tactile experience, so different from the other shawls I've knit so far.
Nonostante Kid Silk Haze sia rognoso da lavorare, dal punto di vista tattile è stata un buona esperienza, diversa dagli altri scialli che ho fatto finora.
My board is not big enough for this shawl and the side tips are hanging out. I definitely need to get myself some blocking wires soon, if I keep all this lace knitting up.
Il mio cartone da bloccaggio non è abbastanza grande per questo scialle e le punte sono rimaste fuori. Devo decisamente prendermi delle "blocking wires" al più presto se continuo a fare scialli a questo passo.
As soon as my Moth is dry, I'll weave in the ends and see if I can get Ben to take pictures like last time.
Appena è asciutto, fermo i fili e vedo se riesco a farmi fare qualche foto da Ben come l'ultima volta.

What a fabulous color! It's lovely!
I didn't know they were supposed to be scallops. I pinned them into points. Whoops.

oooo! so cool. Can't wait to see the whole thing.
I told myself if I was going to invest all that time and effort to keep knitting lace, I needed to get myself the blocking wires. I have no board to block on, so it's the wires or nothing.
Pinning the wired piece on a sheet for blocking on the bed is okay, pinning it on a sheet without wires just doesn't work. :)

It is lovely but noting the speed with which it was finished you are clearly not sleeping or have way too much time on your hands. I suspect that it is the former.

That looks so elegant. Kid Silk Haze makes me sneeze, but I love the colours it comes in, so work with it anyway.

That's beautiful! Poor Pipie, doesn't your human give you enough to eat?

It's really beautiful. You knit fast! Didn't you just start this?

Lovely pictures! The blue-grey colour is amazing. I very much look forward to see the modelled pictures.

The shawl looks beautiful and kudos for knitting such a big thing with Kidsilk Haze, I find it very slippery and it's definitely not what I like knitting (of course, the end product is worth all the pain and more). It's also soo cool that you blog in two languages now! I'd love to see more bilingual blogs.

It looks perfect and I especially like the first shot with the T-pins.
