It's in the bag ...
... the ziplock bag.
I'm sure you are like me and have multiple projects on the go at the same time. I discovered these extra large size zip lock bags and they are perfect for each project. They measure almost 34 x 42 cm. (13x17 inches) compared to the regular sized bags of 28 x 31 cm. (10.5x12 inches)
The yarn, even a large size one, the pattern, and the hooks or needles all fit into the bag. Where as in the normal sized bags I couldn't always zip it closed.
No more yarn getting tangled with another project. No more looking inside needlework bags to see what project it holds.
Now I can easily view all the projects, select the one I want, and work on it.
It's in the bag ... the hook holder bag.
It's made out of worsted weight yarn and a 4.5 mm hook. It has slots for eight hooks and a button closure.
You can find the pattern here, at Cute Crochet Blog Patterns.
The other hook holder that I made can be seen here.

This one really isn't a bag, but in a way it is. It's a holder for crochet hooks that I made a few years ago. While sorting through my craft photo folder I came across these pictures, which I had forgotten I had taken. So I figured this was a good time to share this idea in a blog post.
It was a quick and easy project to make, and I think I'll make another one soon.

Good idea. i'll have to look for some of those. personally, I find a "reasonable' amount of knitting lying around the living room part of my decor and I like it--KM can't complain, because he has 7 or 8 remote controls on his couch (he even has a pocket organizer for them). I love baskets, so i have cute baskets clustered in the corner.
I'd love to leave my projects in baskets too, but I have a mischievious kitty that loves balls of yarn. Ziplock bags arent' attractive but they keep the yarn away from playful kitties.
Brillant idea and very useful too.. Thanks Linda. :)
I love Zip Loc bags for my fibre projects! Will check out this size. I wish the bag companies would realize the market in knitters etc and tweak their product - size, as you mention; clear without a product name splashed across front; and - dah dah - they did do something in this regard. I bought a package last week with bags with expandable bottoms - neat! They hold the knitting or whatever in a basket like shape. And I prefer the ones with zips across the top so I don't have to deal with lining up slots. Thanks Linda.
These bigger ziplocks only have the printing on one side, so I try to put the project in so everything shows on the clear size. There is even a bigger size which would be wonderful for afghan projects. I'm still using the regular sized ones for small projects.
Cute hook bag! And I like the idea of big ziplock baggies; they'll work for scrapbook supplies too. :)
The bags sure would work for scrapbooking projects too. Great idea.
