[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT: Measuring liquids

[Barb Roland]

Thanks everyone for you input, much appreciated. I do have the front 
loaders, I'll try the different techniques and find one that works best for 
me.
Hubby does most of the laundry, but I do wash my own knitted items and on 
occasion will do the other laundry, hehe, Barb
