Your shawl came out beautifully, wonkyness and all

I luv the show the Mole, I really thought I was the only one that watched it. I’m kinda pissed because the guy I had pegged for the Mole went home last night Now I’m totally lost.

I saw a post about how to blck your hemlock but it is gone, so I will try to help you here just in case!

If it is 100% wool it iwll stretch and be gorgeous. If it has some arcylic in it it will spring back and won’t block (one of my knitting pals did it in arcylic and it never worked out).

What you do it is place it in your washer machine (top load only!!!).
Yes!!! Your washer machine! Let the water fill the basin and when it gets ready to go into agitation mode STOP IT!!!!!!

Then let the blanket soak for about 20 minutes or so (until it is thorough saturated) I put Euculan or Soak solution in as it is a non-rinse formula.

After that move your dial to “spin” and it will spin all the water out for ya! TA DA!!! :o)

You will then need a kazillion stick pins Haha!

Stretch that baby out and pin it in every spot you can think of on hemlock until it is smoothed out.

Someone toldme “Lace likes tough love” so don’t be scared to stretch it.

And then leave it alone!! It should be dry by morning! Or in 8 hours basically.

Can’t wait to finally see it in all of its glory! :o)

You could knit those dishcloths while you watch Claudine, lol!

I’m loving the doll house. Have fun making whichever one you pick.

What on earth do you mean you can’t sew straight? What about lovely beautiful quilts that you make? I’m confused.

Yeah I never used the chart as I heard lots of people having troubles with itand there are a couple erratas too.

Stick to the written pattern and pay close attention to the pattern row! Even highlight if you have too!

You can finish this gurl!!!! Keep going!!
