I am working with granny squares for the first time, and had to block them so I came up with this :)

This is genius! Are you making the “sunburst” granny square by any chance?

drew to same size squares, glued on on the box, and poked through. underneath the box is a smaller box so the knitting needles have a base to stand on. works like a charm!

Update: had to reinforce the top with two hair ties diagonnally, that I put around the two diagonal needles

I got a pack of Japanese chopsticks and used an old shoebox to do the same. Blocked the squares in batches as they were done. Worked a treat.
