Reblocking

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!) 


Before the re-block
Pinned out
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?
