Are they available in the UK?

I've looked, and I've looked .... but I can't find any, I don't want to have to make them myself, from cardboard or other things. ... I want to buy some pretty wooden sock blockers!

Adjustable, preferably, or in individual sizes..

Or am I looking to get them from the US? If so, do you know of anywhere which'll ship them for a reasonable cost?

Christmas is coming up, so will try and persuade DH for my Crimbles pressie ;)

My hubby got me some wooden sockblockers from Fibre Fest in Devon back in August - I'll see if I can find out who from.
In the meantime here is the list of exhibitors that were there.

Back soon I hope with the right seller name :leaving:

Found it..

Laal bears shop
If you scroll to the bottom you'll see her blog entry for wooden sock blockers.
The ones that I've got have painted sheep on them :smile:
Laal bear is on Ravelry too.

am i missing the point here? Why have sock blockers as your just going to block them when you put them on. Or is it for display purposes and photos?
