If it was too short or a bit too small, you can hard block and add starch to help it keep its shape. If it were me and the length bothered me, i would just rip out the bottom and bind off at a better length. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Oof! A hard one. Usually wool will "bloom" or grow when you soak and block. I would recommend steam blocking so you can do a lateral relaxation without adding tremendously to the length. If it is too long, could you unravel up to the point that you want it and bind off there?

Sure thing! Is it bigger or smaller than you expected and what type of garment?

My 2nd Avenue scarf is off the needles. Finished image to follow after blocking, but loving the modification of adding a waffle stitch into the mix! #justknitting #knit
