If they don't, prepare to need WAY more pins than you think you do. You can also try the string method, or perhaps buy some rods at the hardware store to use in place of blocking wires. <br /><br />Anyway, HUZZAH! Congratulations on finishing it despite adversity. It's going to be beautiful. :)Tina M.http://rowsred.phoenixfiberworks.com/wordpressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-577210556432625675.post-41602966551527556392009-06-29T21:35:15.556-05:002009-06-29T21:35:15.556-05:00Oh, it's exquisite!

I think you'll be surprised at how much it will grow.<br /><br />Rather than a bunch of pins, can you run a string down the sides and pin out the string? If that's feasible, run the string before you wet it; that's much easier than trying to finagle it through wet noodles.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483752128029075112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-577210556432625675.post-11814334982004999902009-06-29T14:47:00.989-05:002009-06-29T14:47:00.989-05:00Yay!
