Blocking
Posted on | November 13, 2009 | No Comments
Until my big granny afghan project, I’ve never tried blocking before. It is magic folks! My rather sad looking squarish shapes metamorphosed into lovely squares! I simply spread a big towel on our mattress (make sure to peel back the sheets first unless you don’t mind them getting holes). My husband wasn’t too happy with the holes I punched round one… 
Get a water sprayer filled with tepid water and have some T-pins or straight pins on hand as well as a ruler.
I then laid out each square, measured every single one and pinned them out to the exact measurements so they’d be consistent. After they were pinned, I misted them and allowed them to airdry. The finished product is lovely but I still need to get some good pictures of it. Our camera broke so I have to use our older, crappier one to take them.
Ugh, I’m having technical difficulties so if you want to check out the pictures go here or here.
