sock blocking

[kareila]

Any tips for blocking socks? I just finished my first pair. :)

The yarn I used is 50% Acrylic, 40% Wool, 10% Nylon.

My previous attempts at blocking things have consisted of getting them wet, pinning them, and letting them air dry. But pinning socks seems suboptimal...

I've made maybe 40 pairs of socks and I've never blocked them.

Mind you, if I started doing some lace patterns and found that they scrunched up on the needles, I might consider it. Especially if I wanted to enter them in a fair or something.
