Chopsticks as stitch holders
Another discovery!!! Has anyone else ever done this? It won't work on very small gauge stuff, but in a pinch!!

I've never tried this, but I have used paperclips to hold stitches in a pinch ...

I've used paperclips, and regularly use those big safety pins with no coils. I don't own any "real" stitch holders.

I'll keep the paperclips and such in mind when there are no chopsticks around!

stitch holders
Scrap yarn, hair accessories (those u-shaped things and also the straight rod thru the oval), a pen cap with clip for a small amount...

*looks at hair sticks* Hmm... I bet these would work too, they are very similar to chopsticks AND they are tapered, so I would assume they'd work for just about any size.
