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.
I'm going to go find some today!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRegarding books you are reading....why a book about ukranian tractors???????
ReplyDeleteIt's an incredibly witty novel. A friend just gave it to me.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
I will have to check out this writer--don't know her work. Thanks!
