How do you keep track of where you are when using a pattern? I use a piece of cardboard, the same size of the pattern and clip it to the cardboard! I use those big binder clips! Theres room to slide a pencil into! Then I cross off each row as I go! I usually have a piece of scrap paper to make any notes on-I always have a hard surface to write on! I have found that corrigated cardboard works the best! I'm looking forward to see how other people do it! Most of my patterns are printed from the internet, bit also works on magazines and pattern books!
