So I finally got around to blocking China Girl. Of course, I did have to re-knit one of the sleeves--I didn't like the pattern for the first one, so I tweaked the second one and had to redo #1. And last night I spent much, much too much time deciding how I wanted to bind-off the red edges on all of pieces of the sweater. Knit two rows then bind off knitwise? Purlwise? Knit one row, purl one, then bind off knit- or purlwise? I finally settled on a kitchener stitch bind-off. I might rip off the knit/purl/purlwise bind-off I did at the bottom of the back if I get really tetchy about it. Just how long do I want to spend on this, anyway?

But I do hate blocking. And blocking something with Lycra is almost--but not entirely--meaningless.

Look, I knitted California!
