I recently finished a sweater for myself but it needed blocking. The pattern had directions for blocking that I had not seen before but since this was a kit with a mercerized cotton yarn that I do not generally use I felt I should give it a try.
"Lay it out as desired and place a damp towel on top. Press down firmly and leave until towel is dry. Then remove towel and leave until the sweater is dry."
Sounded easy enough. And it was... after I spent the entire afternoon cleaning the garage so I could set up the card table to lay this out.
But the weather was perfect for doing this much needed project and I feel so much better having it finished. Well, almost finished. I have a few things for a top shelf that are waiting for my tall grandson to help me with.
It sure feels good to have things sorted and organized again. And I just might have this new sweater finished in time for cooler weather!
