So here's a thread for tips & tricks for knitting and crochet.
I'll start off with:
If you are making an item that requires a certain length, cut a piece of yarn (cheap throwaway is fine) to the desired length, say 44", and then tie it to your first row of stitches.
When you are working you can easily measure how much left you have to stitch by holding the completed work against the yarn "measuring stick". It's easy and portable and you don't have to pull out a measuring tape each time.
Anyone else?
