It sets the stitches and the shape of the object. It's most magical with lace knitting, which looks like a snarled mess, and then wonderful as the pattern appears when you shape it.
I am not sure, actually, I have never had to block anyone. I suggest you post in the Help and Support part of the forum, and Greg will likely be able to answer you in more detail!
I was hoping this was about blocking a sweater! One of my sweaters has gotten shapeless at the bottom, and I was wondering if I could somehow shape it back up the next time I wash and dry it.
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.
Because I wasn't clear -- plastic sheet, towel, and then sweater shaped and pinned on top. 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.
