redheadrach: Yeah, handwashing is no big deal. I just toss it in the sink in lukewarmish-coolish water with woolwash and let it soak. Then I soak in rinse water, press the excess water out, roll up into a towel (like a wool burrito) and pin it to size. The only annoying part is the pinning, but you can see I used minimal pins to make that process painless as well. And both of these sweaters were a little too short, so I blocked them to be longer. That's one of the reasons I love natural fibers! :) And I also have some handwash socks and wash them exactly the same way, but block them on homemade sock blockers made from wire hangers! Super quick and easy :)
