When I am working on different projects simultaeously, I pack them in bags…for the road…the needles, item, small scissors, tape, etc. Grab and go for sitting in the car, visiting, etc…DOesns’t work for huge items, but works well for scarves, hats, mittens, socks, kid things…

It works really well if you cut two little x’s on the flat side or at the bottom and then zip the bag completely closed!

Never be caught without your knitting or crochet project.

That’s a good reason for using zip lock bags.

I like zip-top bags for controlling fuzzy specialty yarns so I don’t end up wearing the fuzz when I take a project with me. With cotton yarns and black pants this is a plus.

I actually clip off a corner and pull the yarn out….that uses two sandwich bags, not one, but the zipper (on the other end) stays shut!

I use the heavy-duty zip top “school supply” bags to organize my circular needles….and they all have 3 hole punches so fit in a thick binder.

I keep all of the tiny balls of yarn left over at the end of a project in a gallon-size bag that way they don’t get lost at the bottom of my baskets.

I use them as project bags, especially when I need to go out to run errands and don’t want to be caught in a queue or in a doctor’s waiting room without a project.
