great tips

I'm a pod cast freak, and in addition to listening to some serious stuff, I like to listen to BlackBerry and various fiber art 'casts. The last yarncraft podcast I heard, included some great tips from Lily Chin. She has 2 new books that are full of her tips for knitting, as well a crochet. I have implemented one of the knitting tips already. I don't know why I didn't think of it.

When swatching, to permanently record what needle size was used, Lily suggested YOK2TOG-ing for the number of your needle size! How smart is that??? So, you have your swatch of some yarn you're using again. All you have to do is count the holes created by the YOK2TOG-ing and you know. Just great!
