After blocking, sweater parts lay flat, stitches even out, and what looked like a wild mess now behaves nicely. It’s like magic!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 20 years of teaching knitting, I’ve never grown tired of instructing my students on finishing techniques. In fact, the technique of blocking is one of my favorite things to demonstrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI used to demonstrate blocking with pieces of carpet, but carpet scorched easily and was too thin for blocking pins to sink into.  Rugs, towels and bulky blocking boards weren’t much better. Many of my students didn’t bother to block because it was such a cumbersome task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this in mind, I set out to improve on the carpet pieces. I eventually had special tiles custom made for blocking, and the end result is my Knitter’s Block kit.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* Please beware if ordering with other items, extra postage will be charged on this item as it has to be sent separately due to size and weight restrictions.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selected Yarns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39894957654224,"sku":"NML008","price":167.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9350\/9840\/products\/cocoknits_20Knitter_s_20Block_20at_20Loop_20London_202-1493905304.jpg?v=1626179198","url":"https:\/\/loopknitting.com\/en-eu\/products\/cocoknits-knitters-block-kit","provider":"Loop Knitting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
