blocking question
Question about blocking, for those of you with more experience in lace than I have:  I'm making a lace stole for my mom out of Alpaca with a Twist Fino (laceweight alpaca/silk - about 80%/20% I think?) and am unsure about how to block it.

Google and Ravelry both tell me that people are pretty split over whether to wet block or to spritz and pin alpaca yarns.  Normally I'd say to heck with it and just go ahead and (gently) wet block it, but I'm a little concerned that the yarn has already been over-stretched (the woman at the LYS that wound the yarn for me did kind of a terrible job and certain parts had much more tension on them than others... and unfortunately, I've been working on this thing on and off for over a year, so the yarn has been sitting wound in that state for a good 12 months at this point).  So I'm a little wary of wet-blocking it.

The catch?  The stole really needs to be washed before I give it to my mom.  So, those of you with more experience, should I:

1) go ahead and soak it in wool wash and wet block it, or
2) wash it, let it dry without blocking, and then spritz & pin?

Or feel free to tell me that I'm over-thinking this and really shouldn't worry about it :-)
