[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Way Around Way Tags

Sun Nov 17 17:36:16 UTC 2019

I think the big factor is, do you like to use your eye phone?
If so, the Way Around tags most likely are the best for you, like dixie says, you will not have to cary an extra device with you.
I am a nuby with the eye phone so rely on the id mate, most of the time.
I am interested in seeing these tags!
Maybe someone in my chapter uses them!

Hi Dixie,

How did you choose Way Around over Pen Friend and the other one out there? Do you know where I can find an article or something comparing them objectively with a listing of features plus pros and cons?

Bernice and the adorable LoLo.

I read my way tags with the app on my iPhone.

I run the phone over the tag.  A screen pops up in the app.  If I have already written to that tag then the information I have written shows on the phone screen.  If it is a blank tag, then I can enter what information I want to be displayed when the tag is read.

I am presently making 2 Christmas stockings, one red and the other is green.

I have clipped a way tag onto each stocking.  In the app I enter the information for the way tag.   On the ones on my stockings I have noted the row where I have placed the lifeline, what row I am on and what color the stocking is.

I clipped them on with the locking stitch markers.

The way tag is about the size of a nickel with a hole to put a safety pin through, I put the locking stitch markers through that hole.

I also have clipped one to the second ball of yarn, so I know which ball goes with which project.

I absolutely love my WayAround tags! I use the clip on ones for my yarn, as I have numerous colors for each project. They are so worth it! Also, they can be reused. This is a great sale that can make it so you can at least try it before you decide if you want to buy a whole bunch. :-)
