Joyce,
I think I saw one of those just a few minutes ago, actually, at Safeway, 
or at least something of a similar purpose.  It was a long, tall "sock" 
looking thing, with a flat bottom and a cord drawstring-looking thing.  
I figured it was for wine bottles, but you're right that it probably 
could be used for knitting/yarn projects too.
