I rather enjoy using the cauldron Bron gave me for washing smaller handknits. It seem especially appropriate for soaking the Pink Scarf of Doom before blocking... it was a Pot o' Doom!:
I stretched Liesel on a jury-rigged rack:
...leftover mercerized cotton yarn, a hanger, two 30" stretcher bars (normally used when I do silk painting), towels, a shelf, and a large bag of potatoes. My original plan was to hang Liesel from the basement closeline, but she was too long. (Even to hang her from the pipes in the ceiling!)
A close-up:
Liesel definitely would have benefitted from either a thicker yarn or a smaller needle... but that's life. I'm not redoing her now!
Once she is dry, I will pack her and her companion (a much faster hat, but with his own grief-causing abilities) and mail them off. *Finally!* (Only a year and a few weeks late...)

Beautiful!
Wow, that's seriously gorgeous!
Thanks!
So pretty! Love the cauldron too, I need to get one of those.
I'm glad the cauldron is useful & not just a decoration. :)
What gorgeous lace!
Liesel is very pretty, but, wow, looking at the detail makes me cringe at the same time. :-P
Thanks everyone!
