    This is AWESOME Cathy!! I love the neat stuff you come up with!! Not only does one get a lovely functional, very useful item but it's a great way to use up your stash so you can go buy MORE! ROTFL

    Thanks so much for sharing this little delight. I might find myself casting on for this one soon!

    Happy Knitted Hugs

    I personally haven't used any, but I would think that they paint on type would work well.
