Blocking Question



Ok, so I've finished and because I'm impatient I went ahead and seamed this whole thing. Now I'm concerned that the ripping is too tight. I'm going to block it this weekend but I want to make sure I block it correctly, any suggestions?

I also think the hood looks too small, what is the best way to block that?

I'm almost finished with my button bands, and was just trying to decide last night whether I'd block it before I seam it (which is how I usually do). You've confirmed that for me, block first, although you're right - that's not near as fun for those of us who are impatient!!

PS - it's gorgeous and I love the buttons!!

Mine went like that - it was totally fine with blocking - I just use hundreds of ordinary sewing pins and the carpet [no blocking boards in the UK]

I blocked mine mostly without pins -- just laid it out flat. But I did pin the bottom of the ribbing to make sure it was long enough. (I ended up casting off on MUCH larger needles -- I think 11s! -- to get the ribbing loose enough.
