I do enjoy the winter but more for the full appreciation of all season rather than a love of cold. If only we had a wood fire I think i'd be much more comfortable, but ducted gas heating will have to do.<br />Looking forward to hearing more about your secretive and cryptic project.<br />Keep warm,<br />LauraGrow Gather Enjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069999391136930106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4360891399253850627.post-38721800495853685572018-06-05T09:11:29.226+10:002018-06-05T09:11:29.226+10:00It's not always essential to block, only some ...It's not always essential to block, only some projects need it. This particular cardigan will benefit from a block to make the button bands sit more smoothly :-)<br />Lace and shawls always benefit from a block, but things with a lot of ribbing (like the Clara Bow Sweater I made) don't have to be, and actually shouldn't be, blocked :-)<br />Blocking is pretty easy, there are a couple of ways to do it, but they mostly involve wetting the item, pinning out flat and to the desired shape without stretching and leaving to dry.Say Little Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11059966714131515884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4360891399253850627.post-81664641532511052652018-06-04T19:21:53.254+10:002018-06-04T19:21:53.254+10:00Is it essential to block?
