I finished the purple shawl yesterday and blocked it overnight. All done now.

Pattern: De nada. Yarn: a random find from Tradera.

There’s a lacy section and a section with a kind of broken ribbing.

The lacy section is more striking, but the ribbing has its place. Without it, the whole thing would look more boring.

The pattern photos showed the shawl blocked into a triangle shape, but mine would not stretch into a triangle even if I tried. I did block and pin it more forcefully than I usually do, because it was so shapeless otherwise, but there is no way that edge can be straightened.

The curve is a good thing. A straight-edged triangle might look better when the shawl is lying flat, but a curved shawl fits much better over my shoulders. If it was a triangle, there would be a lot more bunching at the neck.
