Water, wool and wires

Before Christmas, I must block this ...

The aim is to use these...

I picked up on a suggestion made by knitabulous. The guitar strings cost $2.80 a pop. I bought four, and added another pack of flower headed pins to by blocking supplies (less than $15 all up!).

For a test run, I blocked a scarf that had been sitting in the laundry basket since we returned from Japan (in March).

It worked! And would work even better if I was a bit more patient (as I will be when I next have a go).
