…always on the fence whether to block or not…When I wet garment to block and begin to spread it out…appears that it always grows!!!..set to the measurements but when it dries always feels that it has grown… blocking my swatch always changes my gauge…how to do a swatch to gauge? knit smaller and stretch to 4"…feel that can always stretch any swatch to 4"…If I get gauge before blocking… it changes after i block…so what is the starting point??
so confused…any advise would be appreciated
