Sheer Genius


Recently discovered: transparent highlighter tape (made by Lee Products), available in several colors, is a foolproof placeholder for complex knitting patterns. I had tried Post-It Notes, but the glue wore off quickly. Highlighter tape, billed as "a removable alternative to permanent highlighter pens" (indeed), just sticks and sticks, thereby preventing tantrums when I lose my place in a 24-line pattern sequence for the zillionth time. I love it!

This was a check-out tantalizer at The Island Yarn Company in Waltham, MA (see previous post). It's probably also available at office supply stores, or in the stationery sections of Big Box emporia.

  4. I think this is a great idea!

    I am reading, by the way, a great short story collection by Tove Jansson-- THE SUMMER BOOK. She is better known as the author of the Moomin books.
