Yarn Management

July 29, 2016 by Sarah Kelliher in knitting tips and tricks

While working on the pattern SliTTop by La Maison Rililie, yarn management became important.  I chose to knit this gorgeous top in ITO Kinu held double.  I have never had the opportunity to knit from a cone before and I was so excited that I didn't have to wind the yarn before starting my project.  But this came with a cost - I had no idea that every time I pulled for more yarn the cones would fall over and roll all over the floor or table.  I was managing OK until I got to the part in the pattern where I had to knit the front and the back separately but at the same time.  This meant that instead of 2 cones rolling all over the floor there now were 4!   It was not pretty.  I knew there must be a better way.
