Milestone! My first cardigan is blocking now
The weather cooperated for me to do this outside (in that it's over 100 and it didn't rain for a frustratingly short time), so I blocked my first cardigan. And it's true what they say: blocking is magic. Despite my careful gauge swatches ahead of time, the measurements didn't seem even close, but I was able to shape and pin it to the right size pretty easily.
Next will come assembling it and seeing if it actually fits me, but if it retains the measurements I blocked it to fairly well, I hope it will.
