I soaked and blocked the back of the Ropes and Picots cardigan last night. As I said, I don't have too many of those blocking squares (certainly not enough to block the whole sweater at once), so I'm going to block it piece-by-piece as I finish the pieces.
You can kind of see lines of more open knitting - those are the purl stitches that border the twisted-stitch "ropes."

And I was puzzled what "blocking squares" might mean?
Now I know.
Since I learned how to knot (and that is good 30+ years) I always used bath towel for finished and washed piece of sweater. Just spread and stretch where it is necessary, and it'll work out fine.
So many interesting tools in yarn shops I don't even know the purpose of...
