Now i've finished my first ever sock the question of whether to wet block or not to block ...
It's currently a *smidgen* too tight but blocking might makes it just way too big..?
hmm 🤔

@Faintdreams depending on the level of sensory nightmare, “wet block but use your foot as a blocker” is an option.
Also consider that (if worn regularly) socks will be getting washed regularly, so you’re gonna have to deal with water at some point.
But, most important: SOCK!!!!!! YOU MADE A SOCK!!!!!!
@TindrasGrove hmmm - true, it's gonna get wet eventually reguardless !
And yes I am quite happy with my minor achievement. 😁
In my opinion socks get blocked by wearing them. No further blocking needed.
If they are a bit tight now - wear them for an hour and you will notice a difference.
