blocking, new findings? , patch up..

First timer in blocking, I found it is not easy indeed....took me more than 2 hrs especially during the blocking session, pulled and pinned...I almost wanted to CRY, there was a loose un-knitted stitches...the hole was getting bigger while blocking...first thought in my mind wanted to frog out every stitches and redo the whole thing....but HOW? ....so took out the set of lace hook, to pull and mend the hole, forgot to snap the hole, may be I was too anxious to mend it? My housemate said I think you will not sleep until you fixed up the hole....yeah....HAPPY DANCE ,...saw in the third picture, the area surrounded with the lace hook was fixed up...I think the size is a bit smaller, not up to 56" wide....ummmm but I am happy, coz at last I got this lace project done....
