Long Coat II

The winter got cold and now the lakes are covered with ice. Compared with the last two winters the coldness came late this winter. I really could use a long coat now, especially since the heating system at work only seems to work every other day. The coat has grown considerably during the last days and now it only misses sleeves. I hope it will be finished this week.

I made it longer than in the pattern and added more repeats of the lace-border.




I must say that I dread the blocking: the coat is really big! I usually wet-block everything and I really would like to wet-block this as well. But it will take ages to dry! Mabye it will take until the spring...
