I followed your advice and “night blocked” the shawl – pinned it out in the evening after Gregory went to bed, set a fan to blow on it over night, and then unpinned before he was up for the day. It worked out very well!
I listed all the details of this project in my previous post. For the sake of completeness I’ll add that I used US4 needles, and the finished size of the shawl is about 55″ across the top, and 17.5″ deep.
The yarn blocked beautifully, and I look forward to wearing this scarf/shawl in the fall!

Gorgeous shawl! Color and pattern look fabulous.
I love wearing crescent-shaped shawls as scarves. And Henslow has the perfect combo of dense knitting to keep you warm and a lacy edging to make it pretty (and a bit more fun to knit, too).
Congrats on figuring out how to block with Gregory around. I’m sure that’ll come in handy quite a few more times.
Love this shawl!!! Just beautiful, simple with a standout lace trim finish!!!
It’s beautiful! I always enjoy the magical transformation of blocking.
It is indeed beautiful – the blocking did wonders!
Lovely.
Glad the suggestion worked for you!
Accomplishment is its own reward. Lovely!
Yay for mastering another core parenting technique. Beautifully blocked:)
Bravo! I love it when a plan comes together. The shawl is gorgeous!
I was enjoying reading the comments on your last post. I’m glad the night time blocking worked. I’ve used that method when I need to block quickly. The shawl is beautiful!
What modifications did you make? Yikes – shortage of yarn is not good…
I’m also curious about the modifications you made. Would you share them with us? I’m headed to the yarn shop in the morning and I just may pick up something to knit this lovely shawl!
This is absolutely fantastic. I love the color and the pattern. Very, very nice!
I like to check in to see if you’ve made a new post, and sometimes like to read the comments others have made. I can’t believe how many spam comments you have! Have you thought about adding the “type these letters” kind of security to your website? I know I get this kind of spam every so often – and I can ban the URL’s from comments. So sorry to see you are getting hit!
