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

[Henrietta Brewer]

I saw a lady on one of my other groups who put her knitting needles 
in a nice vase. I have one my Mother In Law gave me. I have the 
needles in it. They do look nice and every time I go to the vase I 
think of Dan's Mom.

I use a ceremic bowl that has a chip in it, no not the pringles, lol 
and I use it for my cotton yarn. I sit it by my chair and the ball of 
yarn stays in it intead of rolling all over the floor.

I made a bag from the pieces of material I cut off some pajamas and 
sewed together. I put a bottom of a milk jug in it for a solid bottom 
and then sewed ponytail holders around the middle of the sides of the 
bag to hold needles.  It is bright colors and I hang it from a 
suction hook attached to the top of the back of my chair side table. 
The bag hangs behind the table and holds all my projects. But these 
are things I use at home.

I have a small bag that can hang on my wrist to hold small amounts of 
yarn while I am knitting in the car.
