There were 4 in a package for about $20 and they are each 2' square. So essentially I have 8 feet of blocking space if I needed it. I put a towel over the foam puzzle pieces and block away. Once the garment is dry, I pull out the pins and break up the puzzle and can easily store it. I too once had a large (bugger to store away) blocking board but opted for the foam puzzle pieces due to space. I love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11056012.post-1156775997681195222006-08-28T10:39:00.000-04:002006-08-28T10:39:00.000-04:00I have to admit that I coveted blocking wires for ...I have to admit that I coveted blocking wires for far too long...until I read Sweetgeorgia's comments that she uses the wires from surveyor flags (about $5 for a bundle of, oh, 75 or so at Lowe's/Home Depot) and as soon as I read that I grabbed the few spare bills floating around the house and ran right over to the closest hardware store and now have a plethora of wonderful blocking wires for all my future lacy projects!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604476568934217709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11056012.post-1156771236930673762006-08-28T09:20:00.000-04:002006-08-28T09:20:00.000-04:00That shawl is beautiful.That shawl is beautiful.hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04687465201518131269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11056012.post-1156738341492288712006-08-28T00:12:00.000-04:002006-08-28T00:12:00.000-04:00That shawl is absolutely beautiful!That shawl is absolutely beautiful!schrodingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482713963005048339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11056012.post-1156727475835162462006-08-27T21:11:00.000-04:002006-08-27T21:11:00.000-04:00Your shawl looks gorgeous.
