A place to talk about knitting and other related textile happenings. Tuesday, July 28, 2009.
A few years ago I wrote an article for Knitting Magazine about blocking your knitting and thought I would re-publish it here. There are a number of reasons why you might want to block your knitting after finishing the knitting but before sewing up the pieces. Checking the size of the finished pieces. Some minor adjustments can be made to the size of the pieces with blocking but depending on the yarn content the adjustments may not be permanent. Wool can also be steam blocked.
