Yo-yo's are good for quick and easy on the go projects. I just keep a bag in the car with a bunch of pre-cut circles, needles, and thread. (Easy if you cut some from your scraps when you're cleaning up after a finished project) There's no marking and no keeping up with where you left off involved. :D

The best part is, I end up with tons of yo-yos. If I need a quick gift, I can grab some and whip up something quick. And using modern color schemes gives new life to this "old lady" style that even the young generation loves!
