Beanie on a Mid Gauge with Roberta

Just watched a youtube video by Roberta Kelley about doing a hand knit beanie on a midgauge machine.  She's got great tips for all projects as she works up her hat.  I really liked the idea of using a magnet to make sure latches are open when needed.  I also liked her solution for yarn that splits.  For me it's just realizing this is splitty yarn and accept it and take measures to make my project easier.  Her suggestion just close the latches!  Rather than me correcting the split stretched out stitches each and every time.
