Hidcote is DONE! & currently blocking.
It turns out that I don't have the patience to wait 3 weeks to block.
Here are the specs:
Time to Knit: Started on Labor Day (first weekend of September) & finished the first weekend of November.
Yarn used: Two & a half balls of Misti Alpaca Lace. Approx. 1100 yards
Pre-blocking measurements: 66 inches wide & 26 inches deep at the point.
During blocking measurments: 78 inches wide & 42 inches deep at the point.
I really enjoyed knitting this shawl & was almost sorry to reach the end. I will probably knit it again in a few years, with a different color. For now I have many other shawls also planned & will likely start another one soon, since I am already missing laceknitting.

This is unbelievably beautiful. I may have to add Hidcote to my too-long To Do list. And it's all your fault :)
