Having completed several successful and truly inspiring (and hopeful given the state of my crochet pieces) blocking events, I think I’m hooked! Surprisingly, it is not as hard or time consuming as I thought. From start to finish it took me about one hour for several pieces and then another hour on another day for several other pieces. However, this also included pausing to take pictures and make sure I was able to document the whole process. Each step I took is documented within this step-by-step tutorial to include the equipment and pictures for the process blocking both a crochet necklace and a crochet vest are also included.
