Using interlocking foam floor mats...
...and short straight pins with large heads...
...I laid out my dampened, knitted scarf...
...and began pinning it into place.
I used two pieces of easily removable, 'painter's tape' as an edge guide...
...to keep the long sides straight and even.
The finished scarf...
...made with self-striping Mushishi wool-and-silk blend yarn.
My neighbor, Mr. Green...
...happily modeling his new Christmas scarf!
Next time: another knitted Christmas scarf!

Look at you! A Knitter. Great scarf. You might find investing in T pins help with blocking.
Thanks, Andrea! I think I may have some T pins hiding somewhere that I used for silk screening years ago.
What a great use for those interlocking floor mats!
Rachel-They're great for needle felting, too, if you can believe it!
A-ha, so Mr. Green likes the color green also. LOL
Good job on blocking that scarf. Back-breaking work for me though. LOL
Good morning,
Your knit scarf is fantastic .... You are a woman of many talents! ;-) Mr. Green looks quite dapper in your beautiful gift. He's a lucky man to own one of your designer pieces.
Hope that you're having a great day.
Big hugs,
Dawn
Sandie--I put the mats on top of my studio table so I can do the blocking easily! :)
Dawn--Hahaha...thanks! He does, doesn't he?Love you!
