Maire Treanor recommends using no more than a couple feet of PC at a time, because longer lengths can get in the way of your work. I agree, but sometimes I find that even 2 feet of PC can be unruly! Sally has given us a wonderful tip to quickly contain your pesky PC. Thank you to Sally! You are a genius! She uses a small hair clip to keep her PC in order.

| Use a hair clip to contain your PC. |
If you don't have a clip, you can tie a little skein. I think some people call it a butterfly. Not as easy as Sally's method but it works too.
 |
| Wind yarn around fingers. |
 |
Here is your wound PC, a baby skein.
|
 |
Place working thread behind skein, leaving a loop.
|
 |
| Using working thread, pull up a loop over front of skein and through loop just made. |
 |
| Pull this thread UP to tighten. Not the working end. |
 |
| Tah-dah! Pull the working thread to un-do. It's basically a slip-knot over the skein. |
Do you have a tip or trick to make your IC work go more smoothly? Let us know!!!
