Let’s try this again

I’m done with the MustHave fronts and getting ready to block. The pattern says to pin them out and the put a wet towel on top and let it dry. I’ve never blocked this way before (is this a cable thing?), but I am going to give it a try. I can always soak the pieces and block again if it doesn’t work like I want it to.

Spring Knitting Update
I have picked an alternate project. A little cool for this early in the year but I have wanted to make it since last summer. I am also going to try out the Svale that the pattern calls for (in oyster). I love to try new yarns if the cost isn’t ungodly, and selecting new ones to try based on patterns doesn’t seem to be a terrible idea. Ya’ll cross you fingers it’s in stock!

Speaking of ungodly pricing, does anybody know a good substitute for Gatsby?
