Hephaestus Crafts Blocking Mats for Knitting - Pack of 9 GRAY Blocking Boards with Grids for Needlepoint or Crochet. 150 T-pins

Very nice quality mat for blocking my knit work. I like the fact that the blocks have lines. If you try to assemble by placing one block partially along another the lines may not match. Blocks are numbered and should be placed in order for best results. One of my blocks came without a number, but it was easy to figure out since the others are.

I love this set! I actually have two so I can block large items of clothing. My only hiccup learning to use these blocks has been remembering the pins are much longer than the depth of the blocks. I actually have a large cardboard piece underneath them so I'm not jabbing the floor. Two sets work great together and I like how I can interlock them to whatever shape and size I need.

This my first time purchasing and using foam for blocking crochet/knit projects. I found these very easy to connect and they stay connected while you work. So far, they seem very sturdy and definitely make it easier with the measured grid pattern.My only concern is that 9 blocks are not enough for larger projects (afghans etc.) I need to see if I can order additonal blocks and if they are cut to auto connect to extend the full board.

This set is a great deal - craft stores have 1ftx1ft blocks for over $10, so this set of 9 blocks is a steal. The only downside is that a 3ftx3ft square is still small for some of my projects (baby blankets, apparel, etc.). I love that it came with pins included, and the tape measure is a nice added bonus. I am seriously considering purchasing another set just to add square footage to my blocking projects...

I purchased these for my daughter that knits. She loves them; sturdy and easy to fit together. She thought the pins that come with them are too long, she has to put them in at quite an angle. I will probably order another set for my aunt who has knit all her life and never knew such a thing existed.

Quick to assemble and place the item on to pin for blocking. Easy to use and works great. Sturdy enough for my use, but if you are blocking something that requires a lot of pulling, I recommend ordering a thicker mat set. For my uses though, it is perfect!!

Great product. The pieces are numbered so you know when to place each of them if you’re trying to make it square. I’ve only used once so far and it seems to have the pin marks in it still, but it doesn’t bother me as long as it holds the next project in place just fine. My husband accidentally walked over it and I could easily wipe off his shoe marks with a wet rag. I’d buy it again and the pins and measuring tape are just a good add on.

Blocks go together easily and I was able to change the orientation from a square to rectangle to accomodate my project. A little thinner than more expensive blocks but worked beautifully. Pop apart and go back into the box for the next use. I had all the pins I needed to block three 12 inch blocks that will go together as 1/2 of a baby afghan. This is a complete set for blocking your project and would make a great gift.
