Blocking and Stiffening Crochet Items

Blocking

 

When crocheting or knitting, you will often be instructed to block the piece.

Blocking is basically a way of stretching and shaping a piece to a certain shape or size.

It helps the piece look better, gives it a more uniform shape and sets the design.

New Crochet Earrings

I've added a variety of crochet earrings to my web site Craft Cove

Some are made with crochet thread, some are made with three strands of sewing thread.

I've crocheted some into hoops as well.

Here are some of them.
