Lightly Blocking

I have finished the Citron.  It was so boring and painful to knit.   It was just row after row of stockinette with intermittent ruffle sections containing an exponentially larger number of stitches to slog through.  Blech.  Never again.  So say we all.

Citron in Purple

My evil plan to increase handmade accessories for work continues to progress.  I'm currently slogging through Citron from Knitty WI 09.  I needed something with very little stitch detail in order to showcase this lovely hand paint baby alpaca laceweight.  Unfortunately, stockinette stitch with tiny yarn for gillions of stitches gets boring.  How did I forget?
