Fabulous thank you so so much . I will be blocking my first crochet sweater soon. So glad I stopped in to see you. Thank you for sharing your own personal experience. So don’t want to share their errors. But actually they add more validity to the information.👏🏻💐😊

My question is , the neck opening on a sweater I made is too small for the child’s head. I casted off too tight and didn’t have the child try the sweater on before I blocked it. Can i take up the cast off and redo it? Alpaca yarn

[@tomschipper4833]

Yes, I would take off the cast and redo it looser. You may be able to stretch it with blocking since it is wool.

Blocking my first sweater this week, these tips are very helpful!

[@TheGabygael]

i've always been told to put newspaper or paper towels inside of shoes to let them dry, i'm guessing it'd be wise to block rounded knitwear in a similar manner

[@agabrielhegartygaby9203]

You said it balloons work great - need to be smaller than hat

[@dawnmcfarland7011]

I've never blocked my knitting before but now I have an item that requires blocking and I'm scared to ruin it! Can I block without using pins at all?

[@bontonswanson8977]

Wish I'd seen this before i dyed my white wool a bit pink...not too bad tho 😅

[@annholden7504]

I make chemo hats & wet block them on paper plates.
