For those who are wondering, DTUT (Downtown-Uptown) was inspired by one of my favorite little restaurants/cafe in NYC--DTUT--which, sad enough, recently closed. It was the coolest little kick back spot where you could go listen to live music, socialize with friends over fondue, eat treats to DIE for (YUMMY waffles with ice-cream), and hang out on big couches and in secluded rooms; it was a very raw/artistic place.
My vision with DTUT came not only from the Cafe, but from the streets of NY---if you walk "uptown" you walk into an entirely different "klosette" (pronounced "closet"-- defined as an expansion of your bedroom closet, to include that of your inner fashion, style, taste, home decor, basically your life). If you walk "downtown" NY the "klosettes" are entirely different. The vision was the Soho's verses the Park Aves'.
"Blocking"
Blocking is basically a technique used to keep your crocheted fabric in its basic form. (All buttons can be hand washed as well).
There are two basic techniques when it comes to blocking and taking the best care of your cuff:
Spray Blocking: Pin the cuff, in its original dimension to a schmancy blocking board or even a clean carpet or mattress will do. Make sure to use rustproof pins. Using a spray bottle, spray evenly with tepid water. Remove pins when dry.
Wet Blocking: Gently submerge the cuff in tepid water. If you want you can use a mild wool wash (i.e. Woolite). Let it soak for fifteen minutes or so. Drain the water and gently squeeze out excess. Lay the cuff on a dry towel and gently roll the towel over the cuff to get the excess water out. Pin the cuff, as directed in spray blocking. Lay flat, let dry.
