Hello new favorite community! I have a question about what to do when you’ve finished a project. There are so few completed projects in my house I’ve never really looked up what to do when you finish one. I’m self taught via YouTube and books. After casting off is there something you have to do to make something like a shawl look nice? The patterns don’t say. Things always have a crumpled up look after I’m done.

I'm right there with you. No finished projects in my household and the only thing I've ever blocked are my recent swatches. So, thanks for asking the question!

On a different note:
I totally misinterpreted where you were going with this post, based on the title alone (before reading the main body). I expected it would be about the void left behind when a longtime project is completed. :D

I completely expected the same from the title, of course in that case the answer would be obvious. Cast on something new, of course! 😀
