[Nfb-krafters-korner] I have a Knitting question.

[Zimmer, Cindy]

When I first learned to knit, someone showed me that using a brown paper lunch bag worked good to put your yarn in.  The single strand of yarn came out the top of the sack and she used a small piece of yarn to close up the brown paper bag.

I did a project with 3 colours, drove me crazy to keep them sorted. I ended up in putting each ball of yarn in a plastic bag like a walmart bag; tying the handels enough so the yarn could be pulled outeasily as I worked. The bags of yarn rolled around on the floor and it was easier to shuffle them into order every so often.  I did tie something different on each bag to distinguish each colour so I knew which was pink, white  or blue.
Thanks for reminding me to avoid this multiple colour madness! 
Good luck, patience is a virtue; if that helps.
