How do you personally block? I know everyone has their own preferences. I noticed a blocking board on another post -- was that terribly expensive? I know yarn is always worth it (^_^), but is there a homemade substitute? I haven't blocked anything before, and now I'm feeling all kinds of guilty that I haven't. :)
Eh, no reason to feel guilty! It isn't important for a lot of items, but it can give them a nice finish. In wool or other natural fibers it helps even up stitches, help it lay flatter and can get wool to "remember" a bit of shape tweaking. I also often wash and block an item because I've been carrying it everywhere while knitting on it and want it to be nice and clean before giving it to the recipient
