I thought people would be interested in seeing the progress I'm making on my first lace shawl.

Image

It's not looking much like either lace or a shawl at the moment but I'm hoping that blocking will sort that out.

I'm sorry the picture is so big but it took me almost an hour to work out how to post the picture! If someone could tell me how to make the photo smaller (preferably in words of one sylable (sp?) or less) it would be very much appreciated.

No advice on altering the image but the shawl is looking stunning! Well done!

Thanks so much. The colour is actually a little darker than it looks in the picture but I love it.

lookign good, don't worry about what it looks like now lace often looks like an old dishcloth until it's blocked well done

Whew, that's a relief. I was starting to think I had made a mistake somewhere!

Thanks.

It's looking beautiful already! :smile:

Here's a link to a tutorial so you can make a thumbnail sized clicky link instead of posting the full photo.

support-tutorials/topic247.html

Don't forget you could upload your photos into your personal album here on phoenix instead and then posting a link in a message couldn't be easier.
