This is the latest knitted piece. It's being blocked on a towel using blocking wires and T-pins. I'll post the pattern for it later. Sorry about the crappy cell-phone picture!
Blocking wires are great for things with very long edges that need to be straight. For a DIY alternative, buy some fine-gauge wire from a hardware store or a beading store.
If you need to keep stuff flat and straight and don't have blocking wires, hundreds of pins are the way to go. If you pin it densely enough, you'll achieve the same effect as blocking wires.
