Blocking

I'm in the process of blocking triangles, as advised in the pattern. I drew a triangle with 20 cm sides on a piece of fabric and pinned it to a dishcloth, to act as a guide:
I pin each triangle to the cloth, stretching it slightly to fit the template, cover it with a damp cloth and press is lightly.
Only 63 of them to do before I can join them together to make a blanket.

  2. Shiver me timbers ! Let the countdown begin ;-P
    But I do like your practical solution to blocking ! I've often wondered how to get the perfect shape without a proper mat.

  3. Your method will save you time and guesswork and result in perfectly blocked triangles. It will get done dear.
