Probably TMI.<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo, the sweater looks great and the yarn (as all Cascade yarns) is a great value - I look forward to hearing how it wears.<BR/><BR/>How did you "block" the sweater? If you didn't immerse in water and gently swish, but instead steamed or sprayed or left it au natural, you should immerse it - the wonkiness will all come out. Just leave it in the sink for about a half an hour. Voila - wonkless!Julia (MindofWinter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13380850788576680975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21210109.post-68378278927971073372007-03-08T17:31:00.000-05:002007-03-08T17:31:00.000-05:00Wow, this turned out so nice and it looks fantasic...Wow, this turned out so nice and it looks fantasic on him!
