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. 😁

@Faintdreams

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.

@FanCityKnits thanks will do that but will prob also wet block afterwards just so I don't get a shock after the first wash. !
