A Finished Baby Blanket


synch

Question

just got 2 questions re: a finished baby blanket i made for a friend. i used sugar 'n' cream yarn and it's a square (in-the-round) style so it seems to have a "pucker" in the middle for some reason. is that normal? anyway:

 

1. Will blocking help remove the "pucker" in the middle? (I think I crocheted loosely as I was going in the round and it looks tighter towards the outer rows)

2. Do you wash your finished projects before you give them as a gift? (I'm also afraid of the color fading if I do b/c it's a variegated yarn and I've never used cotton before which I heard may fade)

 

Anybody familiar w/ using Sugar 'n' Cream and if so, what is the best method of washing it?

 

Sorry, that's 4 questions! :P

Thanx,

I've used Sugar N' Cream a few times for garments and the colour is usually pretty stable; make sure you wash in cold water.

Washing may help. You may also have to block it. Either way, I wouldn't put in the dryer so you can control the shape while it dries.
