The other item I've knitted -- and, I'm not ashamed to say, I've been wearing -- that desperately needs blocking is this shawl. I made it a year ago (literally! According to my Ravelry notebook, I worked on it April 10-16, 2010) and just haven't gotten around to blocking it. It's pretty like this, but I do know that the blocking will really make a positive difference, too.Anyway, this is the Trinity Shawlette, made with a gorgeous locally-made yarn from the Fuzzy Bunny, creatively called "Wool 2-ply yarn," which I bought at Nido. The colorway is a bit crazy -- mustard yellow, apple green, and aqua -- and totally not something I would normally buy (or something you would probably think of as a colorway I'd like at all), but I LOVE IT. And it turns out it works with so much of my wardrobe. And this shawl is perfect in spring and fall, with its wacky bright colors. It makes me very happy.
Seriously, click on that last link for an amazing photo of the yarn in skein form. It's GORGEOUS enough that I need to use all caps to describe it.
Maybe one of these days I'll get around to blocking it properly, so that when I wear this shawl I will be doing justice to the amazing yarn.

Hi, I just started the Trinity shawlette and am working on chart 2... I was wondering if you found anything strange in row 25 (if you can remember)... I'm pretty sure I've figured it out properly and I end up with extra stitches. I've compared to the previous row and the following row and row 25 just seems silly. Just wondering if you found that too...?
Hi Erin,
I honestly have no idea. And I just saw your comment today -- I've been traveling and haven't checked on the blog in a while -- so you may have figured it out by now. If you haven't, let me know and I'll see what I can find.
