[Nfb-krafters-korner] Knitting Progress

[Eileen Scrivani]

Terrence:

If the tail is getting in your way, you can put some tension on it to try 
and hold it out of the way until you are past the area where it might be 
catching up.  Again, I hold my working yarn in the left hand, so if the tail 
is getting in my way, I will often place it between my pinky & ring fingers 
of the right hand so I know exactly where it is.

Eileen
