In fact, I contemplated leaving it alone, because I was slightly afraid I'd fuck it up in the blocking process. I've never actually blocked anything before -- I mainly knit socks. But I figured, people block for a reason, so let's do it. I carefully soaked the hat in Eucalan, squeezed out the excess water, and pulled it over a roll of paper towels that I had wrapped a towel around.
And it is breathtaking!
I get it now! Look at the way the eyelets opened up, and look at the soft drape the fabric has now! I cannot WAIT to finish my Strangling Vine scarf and Leaf Lace shawl so I can block them!
