Simple Yarn Project Travel Case

For you traveling knitters and crocheters, there's an easy way to make your own project caddy for the car, train, bus (or other) trip. When you get a new set of sheets, save the vinyl zippered case they came in, and poke a few holes in the top, then pass through your yarn. The pockets come in handy for scissors, needles, hooks, and patterns. I used a piece of card stock to separate the two balls of yarn, but you could easily sew or glue in a permanent divider. Not only does this keep your project clean, dry, and self-contained, but you can see through the bag to spot your tools. Using center-pull balls will keep it extra tidy.

Simple Yarn Project Travel Case

A great way to reuse those zippered pouches. I save them, but rarely do anything other than use them for storage. Now I have something that I can take with me to work to add some creativity to an otherwise uncreative day.
