The first time I test blocked it, I kept the top straight when in reality it will be scalloped like the bottom so I think that made a big difference. Now I can really see the stitch pattern emerging and I just love, love, love this yarn!

To Rip or Not to Rip
I've knit some more on my Misty Garden scarf and was having serious reservations as to whether or not I liked it. I was pretty close to ripping it but thought I should give it another test blocking to see what I thought and now I'm actually pretty happy with it.

ReplyDeleteYou are a great blocker! I know that might sound funny but I have only blocked a few things and I am still unsure of it all.
I am making a cashmere scarf for our daughter and a bit taken aback by the concept of blocking it....got any hints? Yours come out so lovely!!
