Welcome to the wonderful world of bad puns and dreadful jokes that few understand. Most of my jokes I wear in the form of bizarre links of string that I call "garments". I don't mind if people laugh at me not with me
I'm an English expat constantly struggling to be understood in a different country. I work in the cut throat world trying to bring "YARRR" and "Ne'er-Do-Well" into regular conversation My swear word of choice is Stink Nugget. I'm a yarn snob.
| So I finished the Clapotis, including blocking. I'll post pics soon, but all I can say is MAN, I WISH I HADN'T BLOCKED IT! It took out all the cool "ruffling" look. I'm a bit pissed now. Hopefully it will come back, but I'm not holding my breath *UPDATE* - so here's the finished result...  Any suggestions for unblocking?! |

post a commentThat's a gorgeous clap!
Many thanks Deb!
I'm just hoping that with time the "curl" in the thing will come back... It's as flat as a pancake right now...
I would lightly spray it with water and put it in the dryer on AIR for a 30 minute fluff. Don't know if it would work or not. It sure is a beautiful colorway. Mine is solid cranberry kinda.
And help, how do you DO expandable indiviual posts? I tried to understand Bloggers instructions, but gave up. I give it a go about every four months. The instuctions suck. Glad they're not knitting instuctions.
Let me know if the spray/fluff on AIR AIR AIR thing works.
Thanks for the Clap tip - I'll try it out sometime soon :)
As for the expandable posts, I'm pretty sure I found a post on knitty forums somewhere - but the link for directions is here:-

Its pretty involved though - I created a test blog to mess around with it.
