				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Sunday my friends and I traveled to the new Daiso Japan store in Daly City (as mentioned recently on the<a href="http://www.craftzine.com/blog/archive/2007/01/daiso_japan_in_daly_city_ca.html"> Craft: blog</a>).  It is the Japanese equivalent of a dollar store (100 yen) where almost all items are $1.50. I got a ton of stuff, especially cute stationery with poorly translated phrases.  I also grabbed a few crafty items.</p>
<p><a title="Crafty goods from Daiso" href="http://flickr.com/photos/46582118@N00/350553365" ><img src="http://static.flickr.com/142/350553365_33f5e155a3_m.jpg" border="0"/></a><br />
<em>Cork tiles, laundry bags for washing fleece, carving tools, origami paper</em></p>
<p>The most exciting are the cork-covered tiles.  These are supposed to be some kind of padded floor tile, but mine will be assembled and used a blocking board (I think i first read about this on the <a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2006/10/20/be_the_pin.html">Yarn Harlot&#8217;s blog)</a>. They can be assembled  in a square for sweaters, or a long line for scarves. The cork is a bit absorbent, and the tiles are foamy and padded &#8211; perfect for sticking in pins. I put it to work immediately since My So Called Scarf was in need of some blocking.</p>

<p>and when it is done I can just stack up the tiles and put them away.  Not a bad blocking board for less than $15, and it is modular!</p>
