Bite the Bullet and Block It

By monnibo | Published: November 5, 2012

A couple weeks ago at knitting meetup (gosh, has it been that long?) Jenn chastized me for not fixing the dropped stitch in my Multnomah and blocking it, despite having cast off the sucker more than a month earlier. She urged me to “take the five minutes” and fix the stitch. To be honest, what was stopping me was that I didn’t know how and didn’t want to screw it up.
