Cocoknits Knitter's Block Blocking Kit

First-time blockers are always amazed by the difference blocking makes to the final appearance of their knitting. After blocking, sweater parts lie flat, stitches even out, and what looked like a wild mess now behaves nicely. It’s like magic! After 20 years of teaching knitting, Cocoknits has never grown tired of instructing their students on finishing techniques. In fact, the technique of blocking is one of their favorite things to demonstrate. They used to demonstrate blocking with pieces of carpet, but carpet scorched easily and was too thin for blocking pins to sink into. Rugs, towels and bulky blocking boards weren’t much better. Many of Cocoknits' students didn’t bother to block because it was such a cumbersome task. With this in mind, they set out to improve on the carpet pieces. They eventually had special tiles custom made to create the ideal blocking mats, and the end result is the Knitter’s Block Kit.
