Pin it evenly down the sides and around waistband/armholes etc. if you are using a bed or a cork board or whatever you just push the pins right into the surface. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-blocking-do#post-910724 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:57:13 +0000 Anonymous 910724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ceit, thank you, I will try this! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-blocking-do#post-910684 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:37:44 +0000 Sara L. 910684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ha! &nbsp;I assumed from the title&nbsp;this was about blocking with knitting too! &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-blocking-do#post-910670 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:30:36 +0000 Anonymous 910670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, soak it, gently squeeze out water, roll it up in a towel and stomp on it to get water out. Then lay it out on a flat surface and pin it using quilting pins all around the sides and bottom to hold it in place. You can use a bed with a plastic sheet and then a towel on top. Pinning it while drying it flat will make sure it won't twist on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-blocking-do#post-910652 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:17:34 +0000 Anonymous 910652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ceit, it's 100% cotton. &nbsp;I've washed it in cold on delicate and dried it flat, but it's still gotten kind of misshapen looking. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-blocking-do#post-910649 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:15:38 +0000 Anonymous 910649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ali -- try it!

Well, some more context would have been useful.<br /><br />I assume when you block a user you do not see their posts, and they cannot message you.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-blocking-do#post-910205 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 15:50:59 +0000 Pink 910205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ No, I mean, on YLF. lie blocking a user.

It's most magical with lace knitting, which looks like a snarled mess, and then wonderful as the pattern appears when you shape it.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-blocking-do#post-910197 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 15:37:14 +0000 Pink 910197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was wondering, what blocking does, I know how to get to it. just, what does it do?
