Homemade sock blockers.

I really want a nice set of wooden sock blockers to make photographing my finished socks easier and nicer looking.

Until l decide which ones l want l decided to make some.

I bought 2 plastic placemats from the pound shop.

I laid the socks on the placemat and drew around the sock, slightly bigger.

I then cut out the sock shape slightly larger than my ink mark. I guess this gave me a blocker thats about 5mm in total bigger than the sock.

I then used the template to cut out the 2nd blocker the same size.

I now have sock blockers in my husbands and my sock size for £2.

This is a very handy idea especially if like me you knit socks in alot of different sizes.
