What if they slipped and fell inside? <br /><br />I rarely block anything I knit. But, if I do want to block, I pin the item, dampen it with water, and press with a warm iron. Then, remove the pins.

If it is a larger piece I use the spare bed but put a bath sheet underneath it first. Hope that helps.mamasmercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011278973985658118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985198055979175156.post-58483230329304504582019-02-12T06:52:46.014-06:002019-02-12T06:52:46.014-06:00Nope, what are those mamas thinking?

I've seen the folding tips, etc. I tried watching 1 episode, but truthfully, it was a young couple complaining about toys etc...kids should be able to play with toys...let it be a mess they are only little once! Then, they were complaining about their "hoarded mess" - are you kidding me I have more junk than that in my entryway! If you want to watch a show that cleans up a mess...I volunteer! wink, wink...Dicky Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536124018936958985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985198055979175156.post-76367825971944112982019-02-12T05:16:54.217-06:002019-02-12T05:16:54.217-06:00I can't help you with the blocking question .....I can't help you with the blocking question ... I can't knit so it's not something I've ever had to do!<br /><br />I've never read any of the Marie Kondo books but have heard of her through other blogs and newspaper reports. Reviews seem to be varied but the general opinion seems to be that there are aspects of her approach which work (for some people) but it is a very extreme regime. I doubt I could do it as I enjoy the right sort of clutter (for want of a better word) around me.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985198055979175156.post-86769138986398052582019-02-12T00:37:12.182-06:002019-02-12T00:37:12.182-06:00Hi, Sharon.

You certainly do get some cold weather - just looking at those photos makes me feel cold!<br />I'm afraid I just block by pinning the item to my ironing board cover which is probably all wrong but it works. If the item is too big, I do a bit at a time. I think my blocking standards are probably a bit low, mind you.<br />Well done on resisting temptation! I'm very impressed.<br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.com
