Hint to pass on

I finished first sleeve on a sweater for my granddaughter but since I made it full length instead of 3/4 I didn’t bind off so I put on waste yarn and put remaining yarn in a baggie ( sandwich or snack depending on amount of yarn) and pinned to sleeve with metal stitch marker ( I like better than the plastic ones) and attached to sleeve. This way the extra yarn doesn’t get in the way. So will work on next sleeve and if I feel will run out of yarn before it’s equal length I can easily rip back rows as needed. The yarn in a baggie keeps this extra yarn out of the way. I’m sure others have figured this out but thought I’d pass this on.

Excellent suggestion! Thank you. This is one of the reasons I look forward to daily Knitting Help emails.
