I've been interested to read about your crochet teaching group - it's something I've thought about doing with knitting but haven't been sure how to go about it. I might practise on some of my book group colleagues. Blocking - definitely. Sometimes I do it by hovering the iron over a piece on full steam setting - much quicker than pinning out - depends what it is. And yarn stash - I'm having that problem too - far too much yarn hanging around my house. I think that in hindsight, I should have bought one set of DK yarn in a particular type and all its colours for when you want to make something on the spur of the moment, but apart from that, I completely agree with you - only buy what you need for a particular project. Hope the illnesses pass soon!
