Herein lies evidence of the amazing blocking abilities of ribbing. The fronts of the Ribby Cardi, before and after blocking.

I now understand how completely possible it would be to over-block ribbing. I could easily have gone too far and ended up with non-stretchy, really wide sweater parts.

All Ribby parts are now complete and seamed. I knit the collar while watching a movie with subtitles. I read most of the subtitles and finished the collar by the end, which means I must be making progress on my ultimate goal in life: knitting without looking.
