Chetnanigans BlocksAll Blocking Board & Giveaway!

Meet the latest and greatest product from my friends over at CHETNANIGANS!! The BlocksAll Blocking Board is a much needed accessory for those of you who are working on granny square afghans and wouldn’t you know it, I have one in the works! I am making a spring flower square afghan and the The Premier Series 8″ “BlocksAll” is the perfect blocking station for my 6 inch squares. Blocking allows you to have squares that neatly line up, the corners to meet and the sides to sit flush to each other. You will want to spray your squares with warm water before pinning. Not pictured, but you can absolutely stack your squares!!

This particular board features Black Walnut Inlays, a Lifetime Warranty, Free Shipping and a “No Questions Asked” Return Policy makes the decision to select the Premier Series from Chetnanigans easier than ever.

Materials: Red Oak, Galvanized 4″ pins, Black Walnut highlights, felt, display stand

Dimensions (L” x W” x H”): 9″ x 9″ x 1/2″

In addition, I couldn’t resist also getting the BlocksAll Display & Drawer! It’s the ultimate blocking board display solution! This compact display product takes up a space of only 8″ x 6″ and can easily store your blocking board in a vertical position for all to see.  Most importantly, it includes a drawer with three troughs to store over 100 Blocking Board Pins…or in my case some crochet hook storage as well 🙂

Worried about price? Right now, Chetnanigans is offering 10 different items in their Blocking Boards category of products with prices ranging from $19 to $199.  All of the Premier Products include the Warranty as well as Free Shipping.

BUT WAIT!!
In addition use the code REPEATCRAFTER15 to receive a 15% discount. 
The code  is good through April 28^th   May 5th!

I honestly can’t say enough great things about this company! The owners, Sean, a wood worker, and his wife Holly, an avid crocheter, are the absolute sweetest and have top notch customer service! You may remember when I posted about their amazing SlimLine Twin Crochet Hook Organizer Workstation (pictured above).  They now offer over 60 items!
