[NFB-Krafters-Korner] ideas

[Becky Frankeberger]

Annette, ok clueless how this works, what you are describing, that is,
gentle smile. Now it makes tons of sense the pillow case is a great idea. I
can feed the strip inside the case pulling it slightly out of the bag to
throw the yarn over the hook and then tuck the finished portion back inside.
So really only eight ten  inches of the afghan is out of the case at any
time. Maybe safety pins on the outside of the case to keep the afghan from
running away if it is dropped leaving a foot opening so the afghan strip can
be worked on. Just guessing here.

Anyway, a friend gave me a huge safety pin from the Navy. All four folds are
now safely pinned together and can be easily worked on my lap. The afghan is
going great, but of course I am working on a shawl way overdue.

Becky,

Put it in a pillow case.  Then use 2 of those butterfly clips, they might
also be called binder clips.  You usually use them to clip a stack of papers
together.  Once the completed portion of the knitted fabric is in the pillow
case, clip the pillow case to the knitted fabric that is inside the pillow
case.  As your work grows, re-adjust the clips.

HTH,
Annette

I am making an afghan in white. Now I am really just beginning it so the
long piece is everywhere. It is to narrow to stay folded on my lap. I don't
want it to drag on the floor as I crochet. Give me ideas how to keep it
folded on my lap with some sort of clips, or something.
