Step1: Hand Blocking

 

Stretch the knitting horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, several times in each direction.  You will be able to see progress after a few rounds; the stitches should appear more evenly spaced.  Different fibers call for different amounts of elbow grease, so don't yank on lacey cashmere as you would ropey linen!  The key is to simply watch the knitting and adjust your strength accordingly.
