Found Items for Notions: Yarn Guide from scrap plastic canvas

I am often frustrated by different yarns in my knitting bag tangling or dropping down in the bag getting lost. I solved the problem by using a scrap of plastic canvas. I cut several square holes and bound the holes with scrap yarn to keep the edges of the canvas from damaging my project yarn. I then pin the guide with safety pins into whatever bag I am using for my knitting. I then string each yarn through one of the holes. If one of the yarns is not currently attached to a project, I weave the end back and forth through the weave of the plastic canvas or just loosely tie it to keep it from falling down into the bag. The guide keeps the yarn from tangling and makes things a little more efficient.
