Blocking

Thanks again, Laura. Your scarf is beautiful and well done. I can see the
advantage to having 1' squares rather than 2' squares

Jan,

I have found them at Lowe's for $17. We got them for our living room
floor (we have all hardwood) when my daughter was learning to sit up on
her own. She didn't seem to mind me borrowing them once in a while for
blocking on the dining room table Another thing that is nice about
them is that you can arrange them in different shapes for blocking long
scarves, triangular shawls, etc.

Hi Mary,

The interlocking foam pieces are about 2 foot square each, and work
quite well. One doesn't need a playroom or children to own these. A
pi shawl blocking would take up as much room on these as it would on a
bed or a futon, so the space really isn't an issue.

What I like best about these is you can block small things one one
square or go as large as you need by adding more pieces. They can
also be moved around making them more flexible than furniture or a
floor.

Where do you get these?

Thanks, Hesira and Cher! I believe I have showed it off in the past, it's
just been a while I gave it to my mother for Mother's Day and she said
she loved it. I don't know if she ever wears it (the yarn matches a pair of
socks I made for her the previous Christmas) but I thought she could use it
somewhere around the house.

Cher, the pattern is knitty's Branching Out:
http://www.knitty.com/issuespring05/...nchingout.html I think a bunch
of people here have done it. It was a nice beginner lace project which I
really enjoyed. I'd like to try another one but, unfortunately, I don't
have much use for lace in my life right now! I already have several shawls
I never wear. Maybe when my toddler gets old enough for playing dress up
they will finally get some use!
