Perfect timing. I wet blocked a sweater, tried to hold it tightly to roll it in the towel, but when I layed it out it pulled all over. I followed your technique for pushing it together and will now wait to see how it dries. Like the coco knits new blocking towel, might have to invest, especially as I am working through quite a few sweaters
Beware of colors that bleed, if u allow your items to soak for a long time. I always plan my blocking when I have a few hours open n my schedule. If u don’t have a couple hours to allow it to soak and then be blocked, then wait until u have the time. I always check on my soak, so I can catch any bleeding on my multi colored projects.
I think lightly wet blocking some acrylic items has been helpful. It certainly doesn’t have the results like a wool item, though. As a synthetic, it doesn’t have memory.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. I love your videos and always learn from you. And great job on the filming, Robin!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the Black Sheep Knitting Community.
Very important information. Thank you
Thanks so much Nancy....oh my goodness, at the end, you made me SO hungry 😝🥰
thankyou Nancy, I love the Coco Knits blocking kit, such a worthy investment
Really enjoyed the blocking segment. Very helpful. ❤
Another great lesson again Nancy🙏💗👍
Happy Thanksgiving
Love the sweater you are wearing. What yarn did you use? I love the color.
Wonderful lesson. Thanks!

Hello Nancy, great tutorial!
My question is, should I block each part before or after assembly a sweater? Thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!
Got some good tips on blocking. Thanks. Also, what sweater is that you are wearing? I probably missed it in the video.
Thanks for the useful info. I love your sweater. Could you tell us the pattern please? And Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Please forgive this likely ignorant question: Do acrylic items need to be blocked or is it only natural fibers? Thank you!
