I use blocking boards from Early Learning ( they are really foam outdoor play mats!)I have read on line somewhere at least 2 very earnest discussions about the tendency of feather and fan to form a bowl shape and the secret seems to be trying to find the point to stop increasing and knitting before it does. My latest Hemlock Ring ( I'm Judithknits on Ravelry) is happiest lying on a single bed as a bedspread where it can loll over the edges and look flat but really be gently curved. Other Pi shawls seem to not do the bowl shape for I have knit a lot of EZ pi shawls with pattern variations but it seems only the feather and fan that does the bowl thing.I'm sure there is a clever mathematical explanation for this.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284457201328888459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-725716540801430109.post-16012983036472111842009-01-02T16:04:00.000-05:002009-01-02T16:04:00.000-05:00Well worth all your efforts.
