To block or not to block – that is the question

obama presidential inauguration commemorative hand knit pillow

My good friend Liz recently told me about a new way of blocking with a damp cotton cloth and a steam iron. I tried it and I really liked it. Normally I would dunk the entire item in water and wait days for the thing to dry. This method was much quicker. Thanks Liz!

I am working furiously on the back of this pillow and I’m just about to run out to Jo-Ann’s to purchase an 18 inch pillow form. It should be ready for the festivities on Tuesday. Stay tuned!

PS: Here is more information about the pattern if you want to make one yourself.
