Re: Marking the Squares

Mary, you can take an old wrapping paper tube and tape one end of your string 
on it and just wrap it around and around and around until it's all on and 
then tape the end.  It keeps it untangled and doesn't take up too much space. 
Or you can take a two liter pop bottle the kind with the black plastic cup 
over the bottom(if you can still find that kind)and pull off the bottom 
cup(soak in hot water a while it comes right off)then cut the bottom off of 
the clear bottle.  Roll your string into a ball--place it inside the 
bottle--pulling the end of the string through the top opening of the 
bottle--place the black cup over the open bottom of the bottle and it is not 
only stored,but it is easily  used in the spring by just pulling out what you 
need as you need it.  I know, I know it will probably be in several different 
size pieces when you take it off the beds in the fall---that's ok just tie 
them together using square knots(wrap twice left over right then twice right 
over left).  This is an old knitter's trick to keep yarn balls from 
unraveling and easily accessable.
HATS ALL for now,
Bonnie Christensen mt zone 5 according to a site on Garden.com that gives you 
your zone by your zip code
