I'm a blocker!
Block! Block! Block!
I'm such a blocker.
Don't know if I did it right, but I soaked it in the sink for 20 minutes like Liz said. I'm not sure if it "bloomed" or not. I then squished out the water and rolled it up in a towel for a couple of minutes.
I put a vinyl tablecloth ($2 Dollar Store Model) on the bed and then a beach towel down to soak up any water. I used my new handy dandy blocking kit from Four Ladies and blocked the top straight across. I just used pins on the bottom half. It's resting now under the celing fan and it's been drying for a couple of hours. It did stretch out a few inches ... which is a good thing!
Oh and Liz, you were right - the crunchiness went away!
I'm such a blocker!
Say it!
SAY IT!!
