In reply to Ellen.

Hi Ellen,

Thanks so much for your kind comments. I have used those one-piece lids for a couple of years now, for jams and jellies, and have never had a problem with them sealing or staying sealed. I really do like the way they look too.

I process them the same way I process 2 piece lids. Make sure when you purchase them, you do buy ones that say that they are suitable for canning…the jars that I link to in the Cranberry Conserve post are suitable for canning.

Let me know if you have any other questions! I’m glad to share what I knw.

Hugs

Lynn

Hi Carrollyn,

A small pouch is invaluable! Love the idea of a paper clip and the emery board in your pouch…those are 2 things I clearly need to add.

Hi BetteAnn,

Love the idea of a binder! I still print everything off as well, so a binder is invaluable.

I would love to be entered to win the tote bag. I left a comment on the “best gifts for knitters” post, but it isn’t showing. Love all of your ideas!

I thought I submitted a comment on Monday but don’t see it here. 🙁 I’m trying again but sorry if you are seeing this twice. I just wanted to say that your posts have become a bright spot in my days. They are full of so many new ideas. The cranberry conserve sounds delicious and I think I will try it. I am an experienced canner but have only used standard 2 piece lids. Do you process the jars you show here in the same way or is there something different I need to know?

Although my mother taught me to crochet, I am also partial to knitting, which I learned on my own. I especially love your patterns for the kitted wash cloths. This clever bag would be perfect for carrying those projects around (although, these days, it is mostly only from room to room). Like Gwen, I use a notebook for my projects. Mine is a three-ring binder with sheet protectors and pockets. Although I do save many projects on my computer, I like to work from a paper copy. The ones that I plan to use again, go into the binder.

My favorite gadget is actually a small, cloth pouch which my daughter bought at an museum in Washington, DC. In the small bag I keep a medium crochet hook (to fix knitting mistakes without so much ripping), a small tape measure, a pair of scissors small enough to get through a scanner, a plastic coated paper clip to partially straighten and use as an emergency cable needle, a medium yarn darner needle, a tiny small emery board and a couple of simple ring stitch markers. It goes quickly from briefcase to purse.
