Question
sarah_ea
I have recently began crocheting again and I have a question about blocking. This isn't something that I have ever done before. I made some thread ornaments and the pattern calls for blocking them. I bought some stiffener and a piece of styrofoam I am going to cover with cloth to pin it to. Is this an okay method? The pattern called for foamboard and I found that at my local craft store but I don't know how well the pins will go into it.
Also, I have been crocheting some baby afghans and was wondering if these need to be blocked. The pattern doesn't call for it but I read in a book I have that you can lay wet towels over the afghan and when they dry the item will be considered blocked. I think in certain patterns that have a picot type edging that blocking might be needed? Below are pictures of two blankets that I have made. I have already given away the white one but I still have the blue one. Should either of them be blocked? If so, what is the best way to do it?
Thanks for any help you give me!
