I tried to get photos of the completed Holbrook shawl yesterday, but they didn’t turn out very well. Today was a much better photography day.
On my monitor, the shawl looks slightly more orange than it is in real life.
You can see that this is a pretty good-sized shawl. I wanted one that was a little larger than most of the ones I have, so I’m very happy with how it came out.
The knit fabric changes dramatically after a wet blocking. Of course, that’s true of any lace, but this yarn in particular seemed to be very dense and too-tightly-knit while it was on the needles. But after the blocking, it has a beautiful drape.
And yes, it was definitely worth the time to block out all of those eyelets along the edging.

Beautiful! I do love how the eyelets make the edging pop. Don’t tell anyone, but I love to block.
Love the size, shape and color. You’ll love wearing it as it looks fabulous on you!
It is stunning!
Beautiful!
That is absolutely stunning! I’m in awe.
So very pretty!
I’m with Stacey…I like to block too. It gives such satisfying results.
There needs to be a flexible blocking wire invented to do eyelets on a curve…
Beautiful, wonderfully sized wrap!
I’ll just ditto zeneddle. Perfect.
Woo! It’s wonderful, Cheryl! I’m so glad you blocked it out the right way. Totally worth it.
Gorgeous!
So beautiful, Cheryl! I love the shape, the size, the color. Just perfect in every way!
