As you know (or maybe you don't), I knit a ton of shortie socks. I was watching a YouTube video of one of my favorite sock knitters and she was sharing five tips to make my sock knitting better. One of her tips was to block my socks.
It got me to thinking because my socks tend to be HOTN and right onto one of my daughter's feet (Mostly because they are so excited that they are done that they want to wear them right away.).
