Upcycling!
Here is a beautiful container of our daughter's favorite yogurt. Yum!
But what's that sticking out of the top?
Yarn, of course! The beautiful, naturally-dyed superwash merino fingering weight sock yarn from Tactile: A Fiber Arts Studio that I used for my Lace Ribbon Scarf, as I mentioned in my last post.
It certainly helps manage the yarn and keep it neat.
This is step one in creating your very own yarn holder. In my case, I used half a bag of leftover dry kidney beans from the pantry.
Step two? Use a pair of scissors and cut a slit and hole in the lid, natch.
Knit on!

Funny, my Noro Iro is currently nestled in a clear plastic popcorn container: just the right size and it doesn't get tangled up.

Great idea....I may just take my yogurt containers out of the recycling bin ;)
