This has been a year of knit shawls, so I have done a lot of blocking. I have learned a lot with each shawl. I have never taken the time to re-block a shawl, but my first (and most frequently used) shawl was beginning to lose a bit of definition. (Not to mention that when I first blocked it I did not even own blocking boards!)

Unpinned - light an airy |
The shawl still had a pretty shape before the re-block,
not anything like before blocking the first time around. But
re-blocking opened the whole thing up again and made it much more airy.
How often do you re-block your lace knits?
