Program
Judy and Elaina led a lively session on "making it do", re-purposing items for fiber arts use.
Punky suggested to use of a placemat on which to rest a project and be able to easily turn it on lap or table. Also she suggested using a lifeline, a length of thread or yarn threaded through the stitchesof a lace project to mark the extent of error free progress. Should an error occur that requires ripping back, the lifeline facilitates picking up stitches with greater ease.
Jane uses cardboard weaving bobbins for storing spindle or wheel spun singles prior to plying.
Carole uses jump rings as stitch markers and stores them in empty medicine bottles.
Please leave a comment if you have other suggestions, would like to make a correction, or if I have inadvertently left out your suggestion!
