Extra Thick KnitIQ Blocking Mats For Knitting With CM Grids - Set Of 9 Boards, 100 T-Pins, And Storage Bag For Needlework And Crochet Review

I’m fairly new to the crocheting world, and I knew eventually I would run into the issue that I would have to block my work. I had finished 3 projects (a small bag for my crochet hooks, needles, scissors, and yarn, a blanket, and an afghan) that didn’t need to be blocked. And then I started doing granny squares and realized it wasn’t going to be as easy as the other things I had completed. I did not have any idea how I was going to block them because I did not have the right equipment, per se…

Best board for blocking handmade doilies! Tiny pins to block go all the way through board. Board is "forgiving". Pieces interlock perfectly so all measuring squares are even. I needed one of these years ago. Highly recommend!

My wife loves hers. Says it really making blocking easy and items come out looking better. I don’t knit but I love her smiles when she shows me a new shawl or scarf she has blocked.

Used blocking mats to block a needlepointpiece. Mats are of excellent quality and easy to join and use; locks easily and tightly. Casey’s great to have; it’s keeps mats protected and is easy to store.
