celticdragonflyI just got back from buying knitting supplies at Staples.
No, really. Many thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tmc4242, who suggested zip ties / cable ties for the flexible stitch holders I wanted. I got a color assorted pack of 50. I'm using two at a time - one holding the stitches, one reversed against it to fasten it. It seems to be working well, and it's certainly colorful. Those stitches aren't going anywhere, I don't have hard rigid stitch holders to deal with, no stray circular points to poke me, and this is good. We'll see how it goes. This afternoon I'm going to start on one of the front yokes!
