Jenn, did you post photos? They aren't showing up at all for me...

I don't block my dishcloths -- I just use them -- but I'm making some for gifts and I might block them just so they look nice and symmetrical :) I've only blocked one other thing so I don't know a lot about it; I just dampened the article and then carefully smoothed it out, pinned it (I use a camping mat from Kmart as a blocking pad), and waited for it to dry. The only thing I can pass on is to use the method that's appropriate for your fiber, and smooth from the center instead of pulling at the edges. You don't always have to pin, but if you do, make sure you use rust-proof pins.

Here are some links, but I'm sure the much more experienced people on this board will have some words of wisdom for you!

from Knitty.com, very detailed but good

from a blog -- I found more good hints here

Carol Ann, thank you for the links. There is no end to the information we can find on-line, is there?

Jenn - Very pretty. Wish I had the fortitude to try something different. Keep up the good work!!!

Nice work, Jenn! I especially love the heart!
