I decided to slowly, gently keep turning the wind knob all the way, as long as the resistance didn't feel too much. It was probably a bad idea but it worked. Once the shutter cocking process had finished forcing the blades open, it relieved the pressure and they were able to close again. Better to be lucky than good some times. As for the camera, my goodness what a little gem this is. Except for the hassle of film loading this is going to be a treat to use.
