[Nfb-krafters-korner] question of the week

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Almost everywhere I go, my craft projects go with me.  That is one thing I love about plastic camvis and knitting.  I use different sized hefty zip lock bags for my work and my yarn.  I always cary extra, precut camvis, 2 needles, sizzors and of course one or more colors of yarn.  Sometimes I cary the pieces for keychains and a new kind of sparcle chord that you all will see at convention.  It makes a nice sparkle on camvas work.
I also found those quilted change purces make a handy case for needles and other supplies.  It is easy to identify in the rest of your work and the needles do not go through the material.
I also have a toat with inner and outer pockets for carying many colors.  I use this when going away for a while.  I might pack my materials in a suite case and bring this bag to use at convention.
I find multi tasking or making many items and then finishing them off works better for me.  I feal more successful.  It is almost like an assembly line.  Make many of the item and then come pleate the items and your produce will be fuller.
