Ohhh Nooooooooooooooooooooo :eek: No iron is needed at all.

I just stick pins in to shape it on something thick (I use folded towels on a carpet) and spray lightly all over with tepid water, then leave for at least 24 hours until completely dry. And then, as if by magic all is in the shape you want it to be. It's really easy, but time consuming, and you need a lot of pins!!

I think there are some pictures somewhere on Lucy's blog, I'll see if I can find a link.

If you scroll down the page a bit this link shows Lucy's blocking of Japanese Flowers, hope it helps a bit, and good luck, it will be fine

Hello all, it seems to have gone very quiet on here, are you all too busy with your crochet :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Here are a few photos of my latest finished project, a Japanese Flower Scarf, again courtesy of more of Attic24's inspiration.

I am still working on my ripple blanket and now have a baby blanket on the go as well!

If you wish, you should be able to click on the photos for larger images.

Thank you, I used Debbie Bliss Andes DK with a 3mm hook, it is a lovely soft yarn, but oh so expensive.

That's beautiful MissMilly What is it, though? At first I thought it was a bedspread, but looking at all the pics it doesn't seem to be....?

MissMilly that looks fabulous have you had a chance to wear it yet? I have been too busy spinning to really do much crochet although I did make the spring wreath from Attic24.
