Blocking on Impulse

How do you block a super long lace scarf without either low traffic floor space or a spare bed?

A little unorthodox perhaps, but it worked brilliantly.  Except I think wires would be in order for the final blocking of the green scarf, since it is not supposed to have a scalloped edge!

Oh I'd been wanting to make that red scarf pattern - it's from the new knitty, yes? It looks great!

Very pretty. Watch out with those pins I am almost 100% sure they rust.

Oh, Ruth, you are too funny! I love how you let your space inspire you. :0)

Brilliant idea!

Oh I was going to mention the pushpin rusting factor-AND that mom got a set of blocking wires (which I just recently tried) OMG- You must get some-the finished product is worth it!!!!

Great way to block scarves! I bet they dried pretty quickly.

Um yeah--nice view you have there too! :)
