Bernadette came in last week with Vortex hot off her needles - a beautiful circular shawl pattern worked from the center out in lovely Huasco,   Very pretty, no?

As with all lace projects, Vortex needs a good blocking to look its best.  See how a good hard blocking opens the fabric, displays the structure of the lace, and creates a beautiful drape in the fabric. Nice blocking job, Lynne!

Here's a close-up of the fabric that really shows the dramatic change.   Great job, Bernadette!
