Thank you Bernadette. It certainly wasn't the biggest mistake I have made
buying yarn online (that would be the flourescent green acrylic bought in my
first online purchase). The yarn itself was lovely enough to make up for
the color. Now I just have to figure out what I should wear it with.

Ooh...pretty!! Nice work.
I've got a shawl waiting to be blocked, and I was trying to figure out
how to do it with the materials I have available, and looking at this
lit the low-wattage light bulb in my head (and also has me going, "Well,
duh!" 'cause I should have thought of using both the blocking board and
the foam mats).

You should have seen the acrobatics that were performed in trying to get it
all pinned out! I needed two layers of foam mats to reach the height of the
blocking board. But then they didn't all fit on the table so I needed a
chair for them to rest on. But that was a little too high so I used a heavy
piece of pottery to weigh the mat down. And I had to keep the whole
contraption out of reach of my 2 year old. It was an exciting and
nerve-wracking couple of days until I unpinned it!
Thank you for the compliments. I can't wait to see your shawl. Enjoy that
magic when you finally unpin the work!

Thank you, mirjam. I'm not really a shawl person but I did wear it all
around the house yesterday! I'll have to start rethinking my wardrobe...
