Using the addiToGo is super easy. When you need to put your knitting down or travel, just use the addiToGo to hold your stitches in place. It's a great way to keep your work organized. Remember, this product is mainly for metal needles. If you use it with wooden needles, it might not hold the stitches as well. To keep it in good condition, just keep it clean and dry. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or rough handling, and it'll serve you well for a long time.
