My very first bit of blocking! Apologies for crap photo, I had to balance it flat where the cats couldn't get to it, so this was taken blind! I tried to get it as circular as I could. I am definitely going to be needing more pins!
I soaked the piece in lukewarm water for about 3 minutes, gently squeezed the excess water out and transferred to a towel, placing it flat-ish and then rolled it up to squeeze the excess out. I then placed it on my blocking board and gently patted it flat and shaped it, then pinned it in place being careful not to streeeeetch it. I then spritzed it with water and put it somewhere safe. Once its dry I'll get my iron and gently steam it as that's what your supposed to do with acrylic/wool mixes apparently!
This is part of a bag so now to knit the other half!
