About a year ago, I made a shawl. It was a Christmas gift for my mother and I was very excited about it. Even though it was made from acrylic yarn, I decided to block it so that it would look its very best.
The only place big enough to block it was my bed. I laid out some towels and carefully started to pin it. Night time came and it was still wet. I decided to go sleep on the sofa so as to let the shawl block properly. I close the door and then go to sleep.
The next morning, I wake up and run to the bedroom to see how wonderful the blocked shawl looks. I am taken back by the open bedroom door and then even more taken back to discover that Dexter has jimmied open the door, pulled out pins and is huddled between a damp towel and my comforter creating a nice hump in the shawl.
