My flat doesn't have much space so I can see blocking will be an issue, but nothing a bit of ingenuity can't handle (I hope).

I guess it's just because it was such lovely yarn that it felt a bit wrong to be dying it at the time.

T-pin everything out and then place a damp towel over the piece, lift when dry. Works like a charm. The dyed ends look fabulous, what a great idea for brightening up an every day colour!Cosy Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818379449207007470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-62125505723300731332016-04-28T18:29:20.034+01:002016-04-28T18:29:20.034+01:00That is pretty.

If you're going to be knitting a lot of lace then I would recommend investing in blocking wires and T pins - it makes all the difference.Belindahttp://hereiknit.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
