Using Colored Stitch Markers as Hook Size Indicators
By Theresa
I have over 200 plastic stitch markers from China (cheaper that way and they seldom snag the yarn). Someone showed me to mark a few of them with hook sizes (G, H, I, J). Some ladies put the metric size (4.00, 4.5, 5.00, 5.5). This helps to remember what size hook you are using with a project when you have multiple projects going at once.

Have you ever noticed when you pick up dirt with the dust pan, there is a line of dirt left behind. Just attach tape to your dust pan and it will catch all the dirt.

When our children and grands are visiting, we give up our bedroom for them and we sleep on a comfortable queen-size air mattress somewhere else. I pack myself a suitcase of everything I need while they are here - all the clothes, jewelry, and shoes.
