Both my bigger knitting projects reached a point where they need blocking, so I’m blocked from working on both of them.

The red cardigan I finished and blocked once already, two weeks ago, but realised that it grew more vertically than I had expected, so it was too long. I ripped back all the way to the top of the waist increases and re-did it. Nobody wants a badly fitting cardigan.

The white yoke of a dress is also ready for a size check, now that I’ve reached the bottom of the yoke and split it into sleeves and body. I followed the sizing instructions in the pattern very closely, but my previous knits using this pattern have all come out too large on the first attempt, and everything is pointing towards this being the case again.
