When you do your knitting, how do you block/steam/press your knitted pieces before sewing them?

My bottle of cough mixture says for oral use only. What do they think I'm going to do with it? Snort it? Inject it?

None of those things. Which is why they're worried.

Perhaps you've been having problems with bottom coughs.

I use a garden kneeler foam pad and pin stuff on there.

I was going to pin it to a towel. Then dampen everything slightly and allow it to dry flat. Will that work?

Hops won't have a clue about that. You'd be better to ask @potsy.

I am in too much pain to answer stupid questions today, went to bed fine and woke up with a broken foot.
Or at least that's how it feels, just walked a mile to the shop and back, it was agony

Does it make a huge difference, I only knit little things, mainly socks but sometimes dolls and toys. I have never blocked, but am curious to know how/why.

Have you been sleep kicking people?

Not sure a towel will hold things flat. You need something with a little resistance. But yes dampen and allow to dry.

I use it more when things need to be square.
