Can you believe it? I have finally finished this monsterpiece. I thought I loved it while I was knitting it, but I knew I did when I finished blocking.
It is as light as a cloud. Unfortunately it's raining outside so I can't take the best pictures, but here we go.
Blocking:
I don't know what I would have done without blocking wires. It would have taken three times as long, and I doubt I would have gotten such straight edges.
After blocking on the floor:
It's 32"x77". I'm sure I could have blocked it longer, but not at 4 a.m.
On a table:
I think I will leave it here while I try to find a home for it. I can't quite bear the thought of putting it away. I've got to spend a few weeks just looking at it first.

Stunning! It's so elegant and delicate, a true masterpiece.
Congratulations! It's beautiful. I didn't have blocking wires when I did mine and it was a real chore.
Wow! That's truly a work of art. Congratulations!
That is gorgeous!!
I have had the Forest Path Stole on my list to knit for a couple of months but haven't decided on colour/yarn yet. (Although every single one I've seen has been beautiful so I don't think this is helping narrow down my choices!!)
