A Yarn Keeper

What every knitter or crocheter needs!

I think it's probably obvious by now that I love to knit, however knitting with toddlers is pure hell. Max loves the yarn and throws it about like a cat. It tangles up at best, at worst he gets the yarn all sticky, so I was going to buy one of these yarn holder keeper things, I saw them priced at $20 and I thought, no I think I can probably make something.

Supplies:

Large Empty Tin (I used a formula can)

Fabric

Trim

Eyelet, grommit thingy (only tech terms here peeps)

Xyron Sticker Maker - click link to read more

First I made the fabric & trim into a sticker, I'm telling you I love this Xyron Sticker Maker

Then stuck them on the tin.

And the lid, then I put the eyelet grommet thing in

Of course I did it upside down....Dang!!

Popped the wool in

Start Knitting, without the ball of wool flying all over the floor!

DIY Delight or Disaster? Man it's awesome, I made it for free saving $20 and it has stopped Max from destroying my wool. Delight!! Also my lot are on school holidays for the next two weeks and we plan on enjoying the sunshine. So apologies in advance if I am a little late in responding to email, but I'm about to get my Spring on!!

Tomorrow I will show you what I have been knitting with that pink wool, stay tuned!

Thanks for reading,
