Sock blocker Love

Back in January, I won this giveaway over on Beth's blog: At the end of this row.  My blockers came a while ago but I've been either crazy busy or sick and today was the first time I had a chance to take a picture of them in the daylight.



Don't they make my socks (the Cookie A Pomatomus) look way better?  The blockers are incredibly well made, beautiful wood.  Beth's husband is a wood worker and sells them over here.  Beth even has a mitten blocker with a detachable thumb in the works (!!!)  I don't even knit mittens, but the idea of this is so amazing to me that I kind of want them, too.

If you're in the market for nice sock blockers for yourself or as a gift, make sure you check them out.
