[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Labeling squares

Hi Yolanda, that Nautical theme blanket sounds like it would be a great
class for the Sea Lover.
I would take that class if offered.

So, I do a couple of different things. For yarns I label on dymotape, do not
take the backing off, use a one-hole punch and punch a hole in the very end
of the dymotape. Now I take that label and a stitch marker and label my
item.

The labels I use for material are the way around buttons with 2-inch safety
pins.
I am making a mautical afghan with picture squares right now out of cascade
220. Lots of fun!
