Such a clear and informative class on blocking! All the before/after examples of the different fibers and projects were not only helpful but were also good motivation to take the extra step to block. Faith is also such a fun person to watch and listen to.

I particularly enjoyed it because even though I've been knitting & crocheting for about 10 years on and off now, I never exactly knew what blocking was or what people meant when talking about blocking and never looked into it until I saw this class. I had always wondered but for some reason just never looked into it. I'm a self taught yarn & needle worker, actually I am very creative in many different artistic crafts & talents, and a very quick learner so I am all around a self taught artist so to speak. Anyhow, this class really explained why blocking is good, especially in lace work or any work with intricate detail that is seen better once blocked. Also, when I didn't know about blocking I tended to stay away from certain particular yarns when I was making something with lace patterns, cables, fancy angles or entire lacework and etc... as some yarns would make it so u couldn't really see all the details u worked so hard on, but now that i finally learned about blocking, I can pretty much use any yarn I want for each piece and just block it to make the patterns/work distinguished & clearly visable, and neaten up & smooth out the project. I also imagine blocking makes the yarn become exposed to high heat and works kinda like a seal and seals the yarn into whatever shape/s you block it into therefore making it so once worn or gifted and the person was to wash it, well now that it had been blocked first it probably makes it less likely to disfigure the shapes, patterns or angles and such, causing a misshapen project, at least not as quickly as an unblocked project would. Thank U so much for this lesson, and all the lessons/classes CB posts. (P-s- Sorry for the rambling on, just let out my entire thought process, lol ?)

I had no idea how to block my projects, thank you, thank you. I feel confident now that I won't ruin something I've worked so hard and long on.
