I’ve been on a Quynn kick lately, I made one hat for my Mom, only to find that no, taking a photo of her new coat to the yarn store would not help me match it, but the hat matched Matthew’s coat, and she came with me for the next shopping trip.
I really like Quynn. How on Earth did Woolly Wormhead make a pattern in so many sizes, with a tutorial, that prints out to only 3 pages long? She’s amazing.
My memory is not so amazing. I kept getting confused as to which increase I should make and where. Then I remembered how much nice it was when I worked at Dupont: someone had drawn curved arrows with a sharpie marker on all major knobs with “off” written on it. The pipes were labeled too with the direction the whatever it was flowed.
So I pulled out some die cuts from my scrapbook/cardmaking supplies, punched a tiny hole in them, and wrote out what I was supposed to do, then put it on the little ring markers I received as a giveaway from A Friend To Knit With. I need a mneumonic that doesn’t make me remember anything. Except, next time, I won’t use the leaf shape, the twirly vine gets stuck in the yarn.
What hacks have you come up with lately?
