HELP HELP HELP y'all!

I love to cart my crochet around with me. This means I have several balls at a time in my purse (do not go there). The darn things get all tangled up all the time.

There has to be a simple solution to this. I've thought about getting 1 gal zip lock bags to stick them in. Any other ideas?

a solution?
why yes I do!


1. I do mine by color, so i have my 1st test one done and i have
11 more gold centers done. I will now carry those and my green yarn
that way only one yarn carried at a time.

2. you can buy yarn caddies and you can make them. any container the size of the yarn can be used. You cut a hole for the strand of yarn to come out.

3. you can also roll yarn into balls that don't use all the yarn (like the size of tennis balls and actually use a tennis ball holder to keep them in when you are out and about.

also can you carry a tote and your purse?

You rock! I do mine all different so it never occurred to me to do all the same patterns. BUG EYES. lol

I have a tote that I throw my purse (which is actually a pnecil case) into. LOL

[SIZE="3"]If I were doing this for myself I would most likely change patterns. But since each person is getting one square I thought i would make the same one for each. but that is me, any way is gonna be great!

ummm... there is another solution...

iffin you don't laugh at me..


you can put each yarn-ball in nylons. As in the kind that only cover to knees or feets depending on your ball size.

My grandma used to stuff her purse with the free ones you can find at shoe stores.

Another great idea. Thanks, Nick!

Yesterday at work, I used my breaks to work on finishing the hanging threads on the first square.
