[Henry Osborne]

Hi Sandra S, is this an Irish Fishermans sweater? Is there an Irish 
fishermans sweater class somewhere in the future please?

Get yourself a bag of elastic bands [some call them rubber bands around 
here], but for $1 you can tie them together, make just a not and create 
whatever you need for a marker.  My husband bought me I think a 1 or 2 pound 
bag of elastic bands quite a while ago after I went blind.  I still have 
that bag and keep it handy.  I jused used some today labeling my spools of 
color thread and putting a Pen Friend label with them on the spool.  You can 
get them at the grocery store, and every where else.

Hi,

Since I’m now working on a fisherman’s sweater, and it has like 8 pattern 
rows, with several that only need 5 or 6 rows (I just know I’m not being 
clear in my explanation, but don’t know how else to put it), I’m trying to 
think of an easy way to track what rows have already been done. I have 
several different-sized markers (the closed ones), and various sizes of 
safety pins and one size of bead for the pins—but wondered, are there enough 
varied sizes/kinds of markers so I could put a different one on the 
beginning of each pattern row? Budget won’t allow for spending this month, 
but am thinking of the future, if I ever repeat this pattern, or do 
something with similar requirements. It would be neat, too, if I could find 
markers with different textures—I already have a slight start on that: some 
of mine are thinner or smaller in diameter than others, but I’m thinking of 
expanding on that idea, if such exist. Thanks!
