Hi, I knit a scarf for my friend in 100% Alpaca. The pattern was simply P1, K1 first row, K all sts second row. I didn’t do a selvedge and its rolling. Can I block this? If so, how would you reccommend?
Second, I knit her 6 yr old a scarf using K2P2 but I did knit selvedge. Should I block this one just for shaping? If so, which way? BTW, its 100% baby alpaca.
THANK YOU!
Here is a good article on blocking, and she does mention alpaca specifically.
Thank you. I actually was reading that very same article with you linked me to a few months ago but was a little confused b/c another article said not to block anything that is ribbed or raised. Anyhow, I pinned it first and then I spritz it lightly for blocking. It’s my first blocking attempt on my new blocking board. Oh what fun! I’ll keep you posted on how it blocked. I hope to get a digi camera soon so I can post pictures. Thanks!!!
