Just a tiny moment to rant, happily, about another thing Wild Purls carries, along with those fab magnetic boards...a blocking board with WIRES!! May not sound like much and truly, we all know that carpeted floors and extra beds make great blocking areas....but, if you want a real treat which redefines "blocking" by making it so much easier, get a blocking board.
Right this minute, I just blocked an item (which shall remain nameless til I see how it turns out...knitter's perogative)and the wires saved me...made the whole thing easier, neater and my edges (this is where the wires come in)will be great. Plus, for those of us that are a little, how you say, obsessive about details(??), the boards have markings for measuring right on them! How easy is that?
I think blocking finished items is a bit of magic anyway and these boards make that often dreaded step a piece of cake. Check 'em out, next time you're in the shop.
