I've just got a couple more rows to do on the neck and I will have finished knitting my first sweater. The shoulders and sleeves are already joined, I just have to stitch the sleeve and side seams.
Should I block first and then stitch, or stitch and then block? Or should I stitch and then just wash and dry it? Or can I get away without blocking/washing it at all?
If it makes any difference, it's all stockinette stitch, with an intarsia initial on the front and the yarn is 100% acrylic, chosen for, I hope, minimum itchiness.
Can any experienced and wise knitters advise please?
