@Carey Bermingham Thanks! I always try to use cold and I hear you on how it's hard on the hands and also getting all the water squeezed out. I just did another Stephen West one and same issues. I don't have wires but do have Knit Blockers. Working on the icord bind off now so hope to block it this weekend. I wasmt sure what to do with the border as following the pattern, you have 5 repeats, but his picture (and yours) have 4, and I was using 6 colours. I decided to go with the 6 so we will see what it looks like. I will post a picture.
