[Nfb-krafters-korner] a time to shop

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I just had to tell you about a present that I received going back a couple  
of years ago  that I received from a very good friend.  Actually, this  
friend is here on the list and you all know her well.
 
This is the time of year that I believe you can easily find this nifty  
holder for your knitting project.  I know that they sell them in the liquor  
stores and I am sure you can find them else where.  
 
Now let me describe this to you.  It is a round cylinder shape and has  a 
cord handle.  They usually have them quite festive in decorations.   The cord 
handle is attached and you can slide the top up to get inside the  
cylinder.  They use it to put liquor ottles in for a holiday present.   Now you must 
think this through.  It is tall enough to hold a wine bottle  so it is tall 
enough to have a pair of knitting needles standing up.  It is  also great 
and a ball of yarn fits in perfectly.  It is made out of a thick  cardboard 
material and all you do is slide the top down and pull up the cord and  you 
are ready to go any where with everything securely  closed in  tight.  No way 
will things fall out.
 
I bet the dollar stores might even have them at this time of the  year.
 
I owe my wonderful present to our story teller, Audrey.
