My Impressionists Shawl was finished in April but I just yesterday blocked it. Here it is before it was blocked.

Notice how the design opens up after blocking.

Very Pretty Looks like the Ocean to me. Now I’ve got a silly question. How do you block stuff? And will it stay that way forever or do you have to do each time you wash it? Is it machine washable or must it be hand washed. Sorry just wondering since you wait so long to block something. It must be a pain to do.

That is just gorgeous! I am also wondering about how to block and how long it lasts. My mother knits but never blocks anything.

Blocking really does make a huge difference. I’m not sure exactly how that works in knitting, having done a little with wool projects, but not with yarn.
