It is blocking! I am so excited. It turned out a lot better than I hoped it would. Here it is blocking. If you are not sure what blocking is.....it is magic..not really, but close to it. It is the finishing process to a garment/project that opens up the stitches and sets them. Different fibers block differently. This fiber is wool and silk so I am wet-blocking this project. I submerged it in water squished it underwater a few times to make sure it absorbed water evenly. I then carefully wrung it out a few times and balled it up and put it in a towel and stepped all over it... liking mashing grapes with ballerina shoes. Then, I stretched it out and pinned it into the shape I wanted (on an absorbent cloth/towel) and left it to dry. I am so excited to give this to my friend tomorrow for her bday. I just hope she loves it.
