KnitPro KP10878 Rainbow Knit BLOCKERS PK20, Assorted

Product Information

My argument is: If the identical item is bought elsewhere and for more money, do you really believe the more expensive one was made by a better paid/treated crew? As the name suggests, soak blocking is a kind of ‘wet blocking’ which involves completely submerging your project in cold or room temperature water. To create clean curves, thread blocking wires through the edges of the fabric and pin them in place. The philosophy behind Knitatude is knitting with attitude, and if you've met me before you can attest to this. To do this, simply thread the wire through the edges of your project and place pins on the inside to hold them in place.

With just a few household items, you can block your knitting and get great results without paying for the equipment.

This could totally depend on how stressed out you were that day, if you switched from a larger needle project to a smaller, or just a ton of different factors.

Simply choose a blocker in the right foot size and the tool will help your work dry to the shape and size you need. You might want to lay a clean colourfast towel underneath your work when blocking it as this will allow it to dry quicker (most blocking boards are water resistant so the underside can take much longer to dry). Commonly, blocking is used to help flatten areas where work has curled, highlight stitch definition and enhance the look of lace or textured stitches.And in addition to my normal disclaimer, as I so often find in crochet, there is rarely only one correct approach. Items like amigurumi rarely need blocking, where as accessories and homewaers are more of a grey area.
