Drop stitch scarf

Peeps that have done this - @tanya @lucylou0417 I know you both have.

Did anyone take measurements before and after blocking? I'm doing one for the Mouse and a few inches could make a difference between too big/perfect/too small.

TIA.

Sorry Lucie i didnt take any measurments at all It did grow a fair bit. I know Sonia has done one recently though

Ok, cool. Thanks. x

From memory mine blocked quite a bit bigger. If you aren't sure you could leave the stitches on scrap yarn and block, then either knit more or just cast off it is big enough?

No, i didn't, sorry Lucie. I don't think I ever blocked mine

This will be the first project I block! I have this and my shawl to do, once I pluck up the courage!

Good plan Ali, I'd not thought of that.

Do I need any special tools for blocking? I've found a good blog post about it, which says you need a blocking board and t-pins, but most of the pictures seem to show normal pins and towels or the foam alphabet floor mat things!

I have only ever used ordinary pins and foam blocks laid out to the shape I need. If I am being extra good, I put a towel down over the foam
I've not encountered any problems so far....!
