All the main bits and pieces are done for the Central Park Hoodie… so I’m just blocking the pieces before I seam the shoulders and pick up for the hood.
Now, I have to decide on buttons or zipper for the closure… I’m leaning towards buttons.
Summer of lace, eh? What else to do when the weather gets (sort of) warm and you want to shrug off all your chores? Watch countless hours of Buffy and knit your lace shawl. So armed with seasons 6 and 7 of [Buffy](http://www.upn.com/shows/buffy/) and a full box of kleenex (who knew slaying vampires could be _so_ emotional?) I finished my Paisley Lace Shawl this weekend:

Yes, the picot edge trim takes forever, but it’s worth the nice frilly finish that it makes. I’ll be wearing this to a wedding this weekend!
Everybody loves a good blocking board! I always get questions about my blocking board whenever I show photos that include it. So, no problem! Here’s the info…
I bought the board, called the “Sew E-Z Board”, from an E-bay store called ["Memphis Vintage"](http://stores.ebay.com/Memphis-Vintage_Table-Top-Products). I got the larger version of the board which is 30″ x 48″. There’s a smaller version too. The board folds in half for storage. The price for the larger version is about $65 USD. Oh, and shipping was about $20 USD. Marlene at Memphis Vintage is super-nice too and very easy to work with.
Enjoy!!!
