BlocksAll Plus Wood Blocking Board
Recently, I had the opportunity to review The BlocksAll Plus Blocking Board by Chetnanigans. If you aren’t already familiar with this company it is owned by Shawn and Holly and they have a great shop on ETSY. Shawn is the crafter and Holly handles the distribution. All their products are handmade in Midlothian, Virginia. They are lovely to deal with and I want to thank them for providing me with a 12″ BlocksAll Plus for this review. You can follow Chetnanigans on their Facebook Page, Pinterest, Instagram and You Tube. or make your purchases from their Website or ETSY shop!
I was impressed with the BlocksAll Plus board from the opening of the box to blocking a 12″ afghan square. I believe that indicators of an artisan’s professionalism, and pride of work are reflected in every aspect of their product, including packaging and shipping. I’m pleased to say that my 12″ BlocksAll Plus board was well wrapped and packaged to protect it during shipping.
The board itself is neat and beautifully crafted. The warm wood grain shows through the hard coat finish that prevents water damage while blocking. The holes are drilled every inch except in one quadrant where they are spaced at 1/2″ intervals. This makes this board perfect for blocking various square sizes up to 12″. The back is felt lined to prevent damage to your work surface and it comes with a convenient stand too. There are two lengths of blocking pins included. They are made of stainless steel, have a rounded edge to prevent snagging and are packaged in a heavy duty resealable bag for easy use and storage.
I was very happy with the BlocksAll board’s performance on a 12″ square, but then I wondered if it could be adapted for a bigger item.

I decided to try blocking my Autumn Jewels Wrap in sections. Guess what, it worked! Granted, it took a while, but by breaking the shawl up into smaller sections I was able to get a nicely blocked project!

If you want to produce a quality product you need quality materials and tools. Those of us who enjoy the needle arts spend a lot of time choosing our yarn and we all have favorite hooks and needles, but we sometimes skimp on other tools that would make our craft look professional. The BlockAll Plus blocking board will definitely elevate your crocheting (or knitting) finishes to the next level so be sure to invest in this excellent tool for yourself!
