I draw out the schematics on the board, then use rustproof pins to match the sontag to the schematic. mist lightly with water from a spray bottle. allow to air dry. Thats it! Really makes a difference in the finished garment. Using steam from an iron won't allow for the stiches to stretch, and my ruin the wool.<br />Happy blocking!<br />Lisalisahttp://luvnknit.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-22997410713220541032010-09-12T19:28:31.217-04:002010-09-12T19:28:31.217-04:00Hana, That makes perfect sense.
