Notes to Self: Knitting Edition

[lydy]

1. One can, in fact, use a bent paperclip as a cable needle, but one would much rather not.

2. One can also, if hard pressed, use that same paperclip to string a lifeline, and one would really, really rather not. One may, however, find oneself incredibly grateful for having endured said irritation a mere half-hour later. So, there's that.

3. Possibly, one should kit up a duplicate "knit kit" to keep in one's other craft bag, since one appears to be somewhat erratic about transferring it from one bag to the other depending on which project is being worked on at the moment.

4. Stitch markers pop off the needle with amazing frequency, and one has the devil's own time finding them again. One has lost two stitch markers this previous evening, and one is annoyed.

5. One has heard that five things make a post, and one has declared this to be, therefore, a post.

I have also committed a Russian join, and it appears to be adequate to the task. So, yet another new skill. Yay, me.

I think cats play with the stitch markers. Also quite a few end up under radiators and get vacuumed up by the clueless, who then try to remove them from the brush but don't always manage.

saw stitch markers the other day
that look like plastic diaper pins
the lock on the yarn instead of the knitting needles

i'm seriously thinking they might be worth tracking down.
earrings can make stitch markers
if they have big enough beads
they are easier to find and the clunk gives you a
clue as to the direction they've run away to.

wonder if a safety string like those for mittens
to keep track of the escapees might do
but they'd probably encourage tangle fairies to move in.

one thing if its important to you
is enough for a post.
I've seen one words posts.
but them I usually hope a story to go with the word
will show up later. but I love stories.
