Not just your mother's wipe dispenser!

Does anyone know those yarn containers with the notched holes in the top to keep your yarn from rolling away...well I've obtained one without going to the store and recycling something that I have around the house.  Before throwing them away, keep the plastic clorox wipe dispensers.  Rinse it out and take the label off.  I covered mine with scraps of scrapbook paper but you can decorate them however you want or leave them plain.  Then just thread the yarn through the top and it works like a dream and didn't cost anything!!!  I can't wait to finish my current box of wipes (it is a turquoise color) so that I can make another one.  I'm so handy!!!  One more tip...I was also able to put my work in the dispenser because it was a small project and I was using short double pointed needles...so it is easier to transport your yarn and projects in as well!!!
