and I've never done much blocking. If I block it, how much longer will it grow to be? (I'm using Patons SWS) I'm trying to decide whether to continue knitting and make it a little longer, or if after blocking, whether it may be too long. Any input appreciated!
Sure, I've heard of it. Either leave it on a circular needle, or move it to waste yarn... probably leave it on the needle. And block the rest of it, maybe not the inch or so just below the needle.
Me too. I've never really blocked anything. Mostly because it's all been acrylic. There's a couple scarves I ought to block, one of them in entrelac, but leaving them on a chair or sofa back where the cats can sit on them flattens them out nicely....
I made a Danica entrelac scarf out of SWS, and it grew a lot. Like way more than one foot, closer to two. From about 5 feet to about 6 1/2ish. So, if you're close to the length you want, I'd stop.

This is just under 4 skeins of SWS in the danica pattern (the rest was used to add the Lady Eleanor fringe.) It is 72 inches long I think (it may even be longer. I don't remember how long that board it is on actually is) and 8 inches wide. It grows a LOT, especially in the entrelac pattern because you do flatten it out some.
