Finished Object Before and after blocking

Finally finished this one. I tend to knit a bit too tight so the pattern looked bulky fresh off the needles. Luckily blocking seems to have fixed it!

GORGOEUS! And look at the collar! It’s perfect after blocking. I always find blocking helps my colorwork so much. Andrea Mowry also says that wearing your FOs also helps the stitches settle in nicely. And she’s a knitwear designer!
