Or at least I thought it was a good thing. Until I saw photos.
When I hold it up in front of me and take a long hard look at the blocking results, those dragon teeth points are nice and ruffly and look great. But when photographed.... they look like I did a horrible job with the blocking.
So, I'm trying to remember. Was the wind blowing? I don't think so. I do remember that I was horribly hot & we were photographing shawls and thick, warmer than Hell itself cowls. I don't recall any breeze at all. Maybe the dragon teeth were hung up & sticking to my shirt in a weird way. Except they look all snaggled toothed in every picture taken.
I still love the way the dragon teeth ruffle when I hold the shawl up in front of me though.
So what to do? Reblock or name this the Snaggled Tooth Shawlette?
Btw, if you are looking for a modeling career and your butt is smaller than mine (and whose isn't??) please get in touch.
I LOVE it - not being a knitting critic I think the shawl looks perfect - the points look ruffly to me. And yes, the idea of a shawl that is nearly not there is intriguing to me - is it a nod to modesty? gentle insurance against cool breezes, or is it a fashion piece and not meant to be functional?
