How often do you find yourself fiddling with paper patterns when you could be crocheting? I know I’m constantly picking patterns up to read my next step, then putting them back down and picking them back up in a seemingly endless cycle. And nice days where there’s a bit of a breeze leave you chasing after your patterns as they blow around the room. This Maker’s Board stops all of that!
This board comes with nine magnets of varying sizes and strength that can hold patterns with ease at any angle that makes your pattern easy to read. They can hold row counters, stitch markers, needles, paperclips, T-pins and even the swatch of a fingering weight or thread project! You can even grab a magnetic ruler and gauge set from the website. You don’t even have to use it for your crochet projects. It will hold sewing charts, metal beads, recipes, coloring book pages and watercolor projects… anything that has paper.
I know what you’re thinking—why would I recommend coloring or painting projects when the Maker’s Board comes in a light gray or this gorgeous tan shade called kraft?
The Maker’s Board is made with a washable craft fabric. I said washable! The website boasts that washing your board will actually make it softer over time. All you have to do is remove the magnets and metal sheets, then throw it in your washing machine.
Saying I love this board is an understatement. This board is easy to use and easier to clean, which makes it a favorite product of mine. It keeps your workspace organized, looks incredible while doing it and has so many uses. This one is a must-have!
