Bargain blocking mat

Whilst in the throws of a quick pop in to Matalan after work the other day I came across a play mat.I have been looking for a blocking mat for ages & they are really pricey.This was perfect & as it was in pieces ,makes storage a dream.

Here it is in full use for blocking my new knit just of the needles.This top is a Sirdar pattern & took me a while to knit that yoke & nearly made me cross eyed!!I really do need to use my glasses when knitting a lace pattern.

I am quite pleased with it,just need some proper weather now to wear it in.

Forgot to say the blocking mat was only £3.00,yaaaayyyy!!!
