Handy Measuring

If you are traveling and working on a project, sometimes you don’t have a ruler with you. Use a dollar bill instead. The length is 6” so folded in half makes a 3” ruler for ribbing. In thirds you have a 2” and 4” ruler. If you have a full page pattern, you will know 8-1/2” and 11”.

Taming Yarn While Traveling

If you have a shake/mocha/latte cup that has the clear plastic dome with the center hole in it, recycle it as a yarn ball holder when you are traveling. They are the perfect size to hold a smaller ball of yarn that you’re working with - just run the yarn end out thru the top hole, and that little ball of yarn can just bobble all around inside the cup and never fall out.
