In this episode of Knit a Spell, we delve into the mystical practice of blocking - not the kind you might be thinking of, but an essential step in fiber arts that's all too often overlooked. Join James Divine and Katie Rempe as they explore how this technique not only perfects the shape of your knitted creations but also infuses them with magical intention!
From wet blocking to steam blocking, we discuss the different methods and how each can be used to imbue your projects with the energies of water, transformation, and intention.
But we didn’t just stop at discussing techniques! We also share how blocking plays a role in our own magical practices. Discover why Katie prefers steam blocking and hear our tips for incorporating rituals and intentions into this crucial finishing step.
We also touch on blocking's role in various fiber arts and how it can even breathe new life into second-hand or manufactured items. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to add a touch of magic to their making!
