Jenga Phone, Ipad Stand

I’ve been cleaning out and purging my craft supplies and I came across these Jenga pieces that I had been using to make keychains. I thought, what if I glued them together and made an phone or IPad stand. I got glued mine and it seems very sturdy however you could use wood glue as well. I think I may paint it black in the future. 

Yarn stitches slipping off of your knitting needles? This is the best tip!

I have several  yarn projects going on the same time and keep them in the same bag. The pink rubber point projectors, fall off sometimes if they aren’t the correct size and stitches fall off of the needle. I came up with an idea after not wanting to spend $12 on metal protectors. Take a silicone, rubber drinking straw and try slipping both needles inside. Cut a section to your desired shape. I cut mine about 2 inches. Both needles fit snuggly inside. With larger needles, you may need one section per needle. Just don’t push in too far or it will be difficult getting them out.
