Okay, my daughter works as a cashier in a grocery store, and yesterday she brought home an empty Tangueray canister. She told me I could have it if I wanted to use it for knitting or to store stuff in (like knitting needles, etc.) Of course, it is not tall enough to put knitting needles in, but I kept looking at it until it finally hit me. I punched a hole in the lid, filed down the edges of the hole, then dropped my ball of yarn in and threaded the yarn through the hole. Now I can knit without the ball of yarn rolling all over the floor. Here is a picture of it along with the LSU scarf I’m making for my daughter.
I only have about 12 inches on the scarf so far, but it goes really fast. It is knit in the round, then the ends are tied up with fringe, so it is actually double thickness. I like it because I can make a stockinette stitch scarf without the edges curling.
