[Nfb-krafters-korner] Friday's question what do you use to bring craft it...

[Zimmer, Cindy]

I have used Pringles cans for knitting needles and paint brushes.  The Pringle Cans work great!

I have an array of tote bags.  We sold grocery tote bags that were  
recycled 100% cotton and our chapter had whose it  printed on them.   We found a 
place up in NH or maybe it was VT that consisted of woman employees  and we 
ordered the bags from them.  They did not have a zipper, but would  fit a 
couple of grocery paper bags in it and would tote plenty of crafting  stuff.  
 
Now for large projects let me tell you what I use.  In K Mart they  sell 
plastic compacter bags.  These are really heavy llarge special plastic  bags 
made for garbage compacters.  I use to have one of these when my kids  were 
growing up.  It crushes the garbage down and believe me when I had the  3 
foster kids and my own 3 kids we really put this thing to work.  Sears  has the 
paper compacter bags that have the plastic lining, but for toting things  
around the plastic ones are good.  I could fold up a qquilt [any size  
including the queen or king] and there would be plenty of room for the wooden  
hoop and anything else I needed.  It does not have a handle on it, but you  
could improvise .
 
I have wondered about the knitting needle holders that they are selling out 
 there, but only have read about them and would like tto be able to feel 
one  before I buy one to check it out.
 
I am going to Keepsake  Quilting Shop  in May and they have the  yarn shop 
next door, so I hope to be able to check it out if they have one  there.  In 
April [April 15] my girl friend is taking me up to Web's and  Yankee Candle 
Factory in MA!  I have been to Web's Yarn Warehouse/Shop, but  never went 
to Yankee Candle Factory before.
