A Quick Tuesday Tip

Inspiration struck, and although I should have been working on something else (something with a deadline that I lost time on last week), there was an idea that wouldn't leave my head. So last night, I cast it on. I'm really glad I did as it turned out just as imagined. I've spent today writing up the pattern.... which is almost done. While knitting up the second half of the sample, I realised that I haven't shared this little washi tape tip on the blog before, but it's something I do all the time and find incredibly useful.

When leaving a long tail for sewing up, secure the end with washi tape - it prevents tangling and also ensures you don't start knitting with the wrong end of the yarn. As the tape is low tack, it doesn't leave any sticky residue or damage the yarn when removed.
