This way both rods are pulled apart and the shawl is blocked.<\/p>\n
But the technique isn’t perfect: I’d have needed rods for the short sides of the shawl, too, that should have been attached to the long rods, but I didn’t have the time. To see how others block their lace, simply search for blocking knit lace<\/a> or stricken (spitze OR ajour OR lochmuster) spannen<\/a> in German (results not so good).<\/p>\n <\/a> Here at unikatissima: Links of entry You can find many hints in internet on how to block knitted lace, I wanted to show you how I did.

\nThat’s why the short sides of my Advent calendar shawl<\/a> are slightly worn out, but it’s not soo<\/em> bad.<\/p>\n
\nIn a similar way you can do this with a triangle shawl: I threaded the same aluminium rods then above (1) through the holes I’ve knitted at the edge.
\nThen I added an S-hook with the weight in the last hole to really drag the points down.
\nI soaked everything in water and placed it on the ground.
\nThe weight of the water drags down the center so that I didn’t need any weight there and it didn’t wear out as much as the rectangular shawl.
\nBy the way, I covered the ground with a plastic cover because I didn’t want to wade through puddles ;-)<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
