I am knitting the Luscious Pullover from Sally Melville`s `the Purl Stitch` using the Berroco Cotton Twist. This is the first time I am knitting with cotton and was wondering how I should block this. Do I use the same method as when blocking an piece knit from wool? Thanks, Gail.

Hi Gail,

You may get better answers from more experienced knitters here, but in her book about finishing techiques, Nancy Wiseman recommends the wet towel method for cotton, or - my favorite method - dampening the (finished) piece, running it (very) briefly in the dryer in low and then drying it flat.
Good luck.
