	--I enjoy taking my afghan with me when I go places and after several times of taking off and forgetting something. I finally took a safety pin and attached it to one of the ends and I use it to attach extra needles and a small pair of school scissors.

	-- I recently got a new dryer and could not figure out why my Monk's Cloth would wrinkle really bad causing me to have to press it before weaving. Then a friend suggested cutting my time down so that I would not over dry it. This fixed the problem and it also makes the cloth feel a lot softer!

	--If you dye your Monk's Cloth, you will get better results if you wash your cloth once on delicate cycle then pull it out (do not dry it) mix your dye as instructed and then add your cloth back to the wash. The cloth soaks in the color better this way causing it to have a more even dye.
