Hobbies R Us
Jun 3rd, 2010 by jennifer
Last week I blocked two lace scarves that had been languishing in my ‘unfinished projects’ bin. I broke out the 1001 T-pins, the foam interlocking exercise squares, and I took over the dining room. After that experience, I swore that I would either quit knitting lace or buy some blocking wires.
I love Knit Picks and have contemplated buying blocking wires there a few times, but as I watch all the other stuff add up in my shopping cart, I usually realize something has to go. That’s how they keep from finding their way into my house.
Savannah, Ravelry member Salt, shows how she made a set of lace blocking wires by making a trip to the local welding supply store. According to Google (so it must be true) the closest welding supply store for me is Air Gas. While I have no problem heading over there to pick up some welding rods, I am a little concerned that one thing will lead to another and I’ll end up having to explain to M the wisdom of having my next new hobby involve a torch and a mask.
