What good ideas for counting.

Stackable containers are good.

What did we do before the zip lock bag?

I have created my own method for row or stitch counting.  I use a 24 peg
loom and move a key ring around the loom, row by row.
I also have a holder for quarters, with a spring in the bottom.  When
traveling, I take out a quarter, for every row, I need to count and when
done, put them back in the holder.
You can also, move coins from one pocket to the other.
I also use chip and dip holders, that I got from Walmart, when I do any kind
of beading.  They were great for safety pin beading!  With their covers, you
were not likely to spill your work, between seshons.
I use the square zip loc plastic containers for beads, and almost anything.
I like the fact that they stack! 
I also use the handy, dandy, zip loc bag!

Happy Wednesday to all.  Well, it is Wednesday evening already and I'm just
now getting around to posting Want To Know Wednesday.  My day has been a
little hectic and I finally have time to sit down and deal with my email.

 

Here is another question from our wonderfully creative member Amy.

 

Crafting is about improvising. We improvise different methods that are more
efficient, we craft with unconventional supplies or equipment, or we use
unusual items to help us organize or craft in an improved way. What kinds of
items do you use to help you craft, organize, track, or generally make your
life easier artistically?

 

I love this question and think it will stimulate a fun and informational
discussion.

 

As usual I look forward to reading everyone's replies.

 

Nella
