Blocking

Here is the moongarden wrap, finally photographed in sunlight. I love how the cables come hither and fro.


Here is the moongarden wrap submerged in cold water (i.e. wool), a very, very scarey thing for a first time blocker.


I carefully squeezed (no wringing) out the water, laid it out on towels, and pinned the [heck] out of it. Just likes its supposed to - the yarn calmed down and found symmetry in its form. The suds are from this wonderful lavender soap, especially for knits, that you don't need to rinse out. It's called Eucalan.

Now, to wait for it to dry. You know, the waiting is the hardest part. hee hee
