I wouldn't call this blocked. I just sort of pinned it out, dry, to see what it looks like. I want to make it much bigger - I want a really cozy shawl out of this. I may have to go try to find the same dye lot....

My Luna so far...
Here it is, first of May! Although I have had a bad case of cast-on fever lately, I have still managed to get a bit done on my Luna, which is from Paton's Classic wool, and probably about as big now as the original shawl. I am making mine bigger. It is cool how, unblocked, it is sort of even more shaped like a Luna Moth.

Looks beautiful T, I don't remember seeing that Green last time I was shopping for some Patons Classic. But it is perfect for the shawl.
Oh, this one is gonna look like a real Luna Moth! very pretty!
The green is gorgeous in the Luna Moth.
It looks great! How many yards of Patons Classic Wool did you use?
Great progress! I love the color. I think I even have a few skeins of that somewhere round here.
It looks great already! Enjoy knitting the rest of your shawl :)
Wowzola! that is gorgeous. perfect color for the Luna! thanks for stretching her out so we can see the pattern. absolutely stunning! I can't wait to finish SunRay and start my Luna. Hey, I have some of that color Patons if you can't find it...i think 3 skeins.
thanks, everyone! Marie, so far I have used one and one half skeins of the Patons Classic Wool, which is equal to three skeins of HW. (About 330 years or so?) I pinned it out rather casually but it was almost exactly as long as the finished shawl in the pattern called for.
I actually have another half ball of this color, but it is a tiny bit paler - different dye lot. Of course, matching dye lots would be easier if the baby had not taken to ripping off ball bands as a little hobby... I am going back to the store I got this at and see if they have any more of the dyelot that started with a 15, which is all I can remember... Thanks for letting me know, you have some, Lisa, if things get desperate I may call on you.
T, that's beautiful! Keep knitting, girl, that shawl is you!
