Well, I watched You Tube, but I it looks like I'm going to have to spend some money on classes. Oh well, I bought my Lace blocking wires yesterday at a welding shop for 60 cents. They are 3' long, stainless steel, perfect and I saved roughly $24. The guys in the shop looked at me like I was crazy, "you only want 10 stainless steel welding rods." So, for future reference, if you need lace blocking wires, visit your local industrial welding shop and ask for 3' long, 1/16, no flux, stainless steel welding rods, they'll be impressed you know what you are talking about. I blocked the Liesel Scarf, it looks great, I'm going to take some pictures for my next post.
