Well I've got one of two Seduction Socks done

How do I block it? Its got lots of yo's so I think it does need to be blocked- that and DS decided to "try" it on and now its a little stretched... I've seen sock shaped blocking tools, do I HAVE to have one of those?

Also, I used Koigu, I can't recall if thats superwash seems its technically not but the sales lady said she always washes hers and its never felted or shrunk???

there's an online tutorial for making sock blockers out of wire hangers - here you go

I have seen ones made out of cardboard....just cut it out to the shape of your foot and use that. If I ever block a pair I'll likely do that since we have no wire hangers.

You can also get it wet and then put it on and wear it until it dries.

I have sock blockers from The Loopy Ewe, and I love them! I have the red plastic ones, only size medium right now, so when blocking for my sis or DH, I'll be in trouble! ha ha!! But eventually, I'll save up for more sizes.

Oh, and if you end up ordering from there, and its your first order, tell her I sent ya!

Thanks. They're for my mom, I'm gonna check with a few friends in town to see if any of them already have something I can borrow...I too have no wire hangers (nor desire to get any!)
