[Nfb-krafters-korner] Loom knit class

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

I have a few tips.
First of all, I got a small box, from Michaels, that has a snap at each end for my stich markers and needle protecters.  I took large safty pins and put stich markers, of the same kind, on a safty pin, before putting them in the box.  
Another tip, I have a quilted change purse for my needles, that go with me.
Others are in a plastic box, with sections.  I intended to keep them separated by size.

I have acquired 3 different cases, of different sizes and different amount of pockets.  One goes with me along with my project.
It all depends what I am working on.  One is a mini back pack, with out the straps, one is just a pencil case and the other is a net book case, I think.  The net book case will hold a 24 peg loom.
I also have boxes for mini looms, crochet hooks, knitting needles and I am organizing my circular needles.
I saved some Velcro pockets and I am going to put my circular needles in pockets, by size  and keep them in a note book!
The hard part is finding yarn.  I try to keep all of a brand, together, but it is easier said than done.

I started out with a pencil ouch as my notions bag. As I have grown in my knitting, I've had to go to a little bigger bag. The one I have now has three zipper pouches & a flap pocket. This has been much better. And, I ALWAYS keep a small tube of lotion in my knitting bag.
