Weekend Project Tip of the Week #1

Have you ever been to the "Instruct ables" website?  I personally love it!
So, this week's Weekend Project Tip is how to make a Yarn Holder from a Plastic Bottle
A plastic bottle, probably a 2 liter soda pop bottle, can be cut open, stuff a skein of yarn into it, and tape the cut closed.
Simple, cheap, recycled.  It does replace a much more expensive specialty knitting accessory.

Knitting can be a very inexpensive hobby, or it can be a money pit, all at the discretion of the knitter.
Some of the tools and accessories are completely optional and no one ever knew that they needed them until the magazines and manufacturers started hawking them with a vengeance.  Our foremothers and forefathers provided for their families as best they could with what little they had.  Now it seems that every time we turn around, there's some new gadget that should make our lives easier.  But, does it really?

What's your favorite, can't do without, homemade tool?
