K67 Editors letter
A couple of weeks ago we were on a Saturday shopping jaunt to a nearby city. Of course, we had our designated driver, not because we were planning on drinking, but because there was knitting aboard. The afternoon was going well until one of us needed to measure the progress of her knitting; would you
believe that no one brought a tape measure?
I suggested that we use a dollar bill, since it is approximately six inches long (a bit of trivia I learned from my past as a florist).
That single buck did the job. I began thinking that if I fold it in half, I get a three-inch measure, or in thirds, it will measure two.
Because I am always rushing about with my knitting and often without all my precious tools, I need to have ways to have measurements available to me easily, and the dollar isn’t necessarily
my best option. I devised a plan for folding a piece of typing paper that I share with you in our summer issue.
A sheet of paper is available most anywhere. Often you are carrying a dollar, letter, photocopy, or flyer with you, so you have easy access to the folded numbers game, or you could ask someone for a sheet of paper and
achieve the results.
These ideas come from that dollar: a simple buck, that little green piece of paper that is so overly decorated with ink and designs, hardly enough to buy a soda or cup of coffee, and certainly not knitting supplies.
My father often advises his seven children, "Make your money work for you." I don’t think
he had my method in mind, but nonetheless I am heeding his advice.
Rick
P.S. Love You, Dad and Mom!
