Sticking and resticking it to the plastic seems to make the sticky last longer. :) Hope it works for you.m.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03213897186610781104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541279.post-6749310436267605122007-01-30T22:46:00.000-08:002007-01-30T22:46:00.000-08:00HIGHLIGHTER.

It's not just for wrecking college textbooks anymore!<br />Of course, you should print/copy the pattern so it isn't ruined, but it doesn't fall off and the cat doesn't move it.<br />KateMet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541279.post-27404813867704842932007-01-30T13:40:00.000-08:002007-01-30T13:40:00.000-08:00Armwarmers?

She does cross stitch, but it would work equally well for knitting charts. You can even find magnet strips that are a big magnifying glass.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520084382797497562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541279.post-88491019661871728882007-01-30T09:10:00.000-08:002007-01-30T09:10:00.000-08:00brilliant!

I have a shawl UFO that's been sitting in my knitting basket for the past 8 months all because I lost the damn sticky and I'm too irritated to try and figure out where I am.<br /><br />I'm guessing armwarmers (even though you didn't ask). If so, then I think that's so kewl. In the words of Vicki Howell...Knit On!Harlem Purlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01982796206078721723noreply@blogger.com
