Question
Leslie Carver
Help!!! I finished this afghan a while ago, and it's insanely wrinkled. It looks to me like the outside is WAY tighter than the inside. It's all the same weight acrylic yarn, same hook all the way through, and I'm pretty sure my stitch count was right...anyway, for whatever reason, it's *WONKY*. I put it away because it discouraged me so much, and now I've lost my crochet confidence. I want it back, and I want this afghan to be as pretty as I know it can be - I want to be proud of it!
I tried soaking it and hanging over my shower curtain rod so it could stretch, but I can't tell that it made any appreciable difference. I tried pinning it out on a king-sized mattress, but the tension was SO much that I kept bending pins. It's been suggested that I try to block it a section at a time - either from the inside out, or 1/4 or 1/8 sections. Does anyone have any hints, advice, ANYTHING??? Please help!
