Giant Straight Pins

I'm finishing the seams on Pat's Oat Couture "Oregon Vest." I'm very proud that I'm FINISHING SOMETHING that was bigger than 1 skein of yarn.

When I did the left side last night, it was late and I was too lazy to go looking for the right tools to hold the fabric together as I worked the seam. Did you know a knitting needle is a great, over-sized straight pin? I was crocheting the seams together, so the needles that I used to make the vest were just laying there. They held the pieces together, they didn't hurt the yarn, and one needle could "baste" an entire seam prior to stitching it.

I think I'm onto something here!!
