You might remember the cowls I recently knitted (here and here) which heralded the return of my knitting mojo.

I finally got around to blocking both and it definitely does make a difference! They really do look much superior to when just off the needles.

But how do they wear?

♥

Sadly this was one of those yarns that is quite soft on the ball, but itchy itchy itchy on my neck.

May need another soak?

Honestly? Probably unlikely to be worn.

This remains ultra-soft, but is very floppy. I’m not convinced about the level of warmth it will afford.

It does look pretty though. I wish my wardrobe consisted entirely of garments in this colour.

I do still have another ball, I’m considering unpicking the bind off and adding further height.

♥

I only have two Very Long rows and very long bind off remaining on my Be Kind shawl/scarf/wrap.

I’m hopeful this is a regain-softness-when-blocked, because it is another that isn’t feeling like the wonderfully soft balls it started with.
