ColourMart 100% Cashmere 2/28

I stood there looking at a sink that until about 20 minutes ago held the remains of the boy child's breakfast - hey at least he found the sink!!! And I've scoured and it's rainy in Missouri - I am in a foul mood anyways - I hold my cashmere shawl over a tub full of DAWN and hot hot water. This feels wrong - very wrong...

So I plunge it in - well there's nothing to do or think about any more - it's done - one way or another....So I rinse and plunge it in again....
Then I rinse and add a little Pantene anti frizz shampoo...
OH MY GOD - I think it actually worked - you be the judge...I just wish you could touch it!!!!
Dimensions before blocking...18 1/2 x 58
After blocking....23 x 66 and I expect to lose about an inch width wise when I pull the wires. I'll post more pictures when I've got it off the bed and onto a model. As promised the fibers bloomed perfectly and the hand while pinning was very cooperative, which is more than I can say for the men and dog in this house....And yes to the person on Ravelry - my back is KILLING me!

Another gorgeous knit by Deborah! With you and Carol both trying the ColourMart Cashmere, makes me feel compelled to find some. Sounds yummy.
