Blocking the Swathe

I haven't really spent much time blocking anything.  I blocked a baby hat on a balloon.  That was fun and it turned out nice.  You can't really block acrylic, at least not like natural fibers. Wool on the other hand is amazing when blocked. This is my first large project to block: my Swathe (Rowan Winter Drift) sweater. It was curled up because it is all reverse stockinette.  It didn't seem possible that the pieces could lie flat.  Well, guess what?  They do!!!

Now if I could only get the thing put together right...
