Blocking of Hand Knits by Binka Schwan
ON YOUR WAY TO THE MASTERS Blocking of Hand Knits by binka schwan Blocking is an important step in the knitting process. Unfortunately this very important step is often forgotten or neglected by the knitter. When knitters skip the blocking process they are often unhappy with their finished product. There are many definitions of blocking in knitting books, but most texts agree that the blocking process gives a knitted piece its permanent size and shape. The blocking process is an integral part of all three levels of the Master Hand Knitting Program. All knitted swatches and projects required for each level need to be blocked prior to submission. In addition, Level One requires a report on Blocking and Care of Hand Knits. 1 Either water or steam is used in the blocking process. Once the knitting of a garment is completed, blocking is done on each knitted piece prior to sewing together. Blocking will help adjust and reshape both length and width of pieces that are supposed to be identical. It will also even out the edges of individual pieces so that seaming together is easier. Seamless knitting (knitting in the round) can also be blocked to shape the stitches and smooth the rounds. Blocking after washing a garment will reshape it to the correct proportions. The blocking process allows the knitter to make certain that measurements stated in a pattern match the actual knitted pieces. This ensures a proper size and fit to the finished garment. A few tools are required for the blocking process. A method for getting the swatch/garment wet, a surface to block on, the original pattern, and a tape measure or yardstick to ensure correct 2 measurements are all necessary.

Knitting – Bias Dish Cloth
SOUTH CAROLINA FAMILY AND COMMUNITY LEADERS Affiliated with National Volunteer Outreach Network, Country Women’s Council, U.S.A., Associated Country Women of the World and in partnership with Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service SCFCL website: http://www.scfcl.com Leader Training Guide Knitting - Bias Dish Cloth Objectives: Participants will learn some of the basics of knitting and the history of knitting. Lesson Overview/Introduction: Instructor needs to be a knitter with equipment to teach the lessons. Materials needed: Large knitting needles for each member 100% cotton yarn Lesson: History of knitting The work “knitting” came from an old English word, cnyttn, which means “to know”. With limited information on the history of knitting, we cannot pinpoint the time of its origin. It is thought to be older than other handcrafts. It is believed to be connected to the ancient skill of knotting fishing nets. The Victoria and Albert Museum displays socks from 300-400. According to the museum, they were knitted in stocking stitch using three-ply, wool, and a single needle technique. Two-needle knitting is believed to have come from Egypt in the 11th century where more socks were found. In 1589, the knitting machine was invented. The early knitting needles were made of bone, ivory or tortoise shell. KNITTING TOOLS Scissors: Keep a small pair of scissors or shears handy for cutting yarn, trimming pompoms, etc. Be sure to keep scissors in a case for safety. Tapestry Needle: A blunt-pointed tapestry needle is used for sewing seams. A straight, steel needle is best. Some tapestry needles have a “hump” around the eye.
