[Nfb-krafters-korner] Big problem

[River Woman]

I cannot do this myself either. I have to have sighted help - my husband 
normally. When I am going to knit something, I ask him to help me get the 
skeins all together that I need, and then I put them all in one bag and use 
that as my knitting bas so they don't get lost or mixed up with other 
things.  Yes, small stuff is a problem for me, too.  One thing I do is put 
them all together in a bag, all mixed up, and use them for multicolored 
knitting projects like scarves or shawls when I want a big assortment of 
colors, textures, and fibers all in the piece I am working on. You can make 
some absolutely beautiful things  by mixing the small amounts of yarns 
together - some of my best projects come from those mixtures of offs and 
ends.  LOOKS like I planned it that way to other people, but it is not 
planned, it is RANDOM.  Lynda River Woman
