In other news, my blocking board is done! Being an apartment dweller with no extra mattresses, and seeing as how ironing boards only come in the one size, I had to come up with an alternate solution.
Let me tell you, getting a 4'x8' piece of foamboard home in a Mazda Protege was an adventure in and of itself! Well, I actually had to crack it in half and take it home *on* my Protege (thank goodness for the bungee cords that live in my trunk!), but I only lost one corner chunk to the wind gods.
Behold the blocking board:

The teacher of my intermediate knitting class suggested that we take a ruler to the fabric store and try to get a gingham in a regular size (1"x1", etc.) to make laying out the FO and pinning it to size easier. Well, I managed to find some 1/4"x1/4" gingham in PURPLE!!! Score!
