I was so excited to start blocking this beauty. I really thought I had a couple more blocking mats, but nope. I also forget how damp it is where I live and drying takes forever.
I can spend months making something, but get frustrated waiting a day or two for it to dry.
It always makes me laugh when people are afraid to wear what I make them, or are worried they’ll hurt the garment. I’ve already rolled it up, squeezed the life out of it, yanked and pulled almost every inch, and dragged it all over kingdom come while making it. Trust me. If it was delicate, I didn’t make it.
The sleeves are a bit longer than I intended because I forgot to factor in the stretch of the back from blocking. I like longer sleeves anyway. Plus, they’re snug enough to stay pushed up if I want.
It feels so good to wear! Soft and cozy. Perfect for the summer.
