Thinking INSIDE the box...

I love Stylecraft Special DK. It feels nice, it works up beautifully and the colours are fabulous! However, I do NOT like the way it goes all wibbly (technical term) towards the end of the ball. I think this happens because it is manufactured into a very loose ball, so that it looks bigger and you think you are getting an even better bargain for your money. However, what you end up with is this kind of mess:

I have tried wrapping them up like this, but it makes it difficult to find the end each time:

So, I have tried making them into balls, which look pretty, but tend to end up with their ends tangled:

We get eggs each week from Fin's school, as part of the students' Enterprise scheme. Normally, we send the empty cartons back, but for some reason I had kept the last 4 boxes.

Now this is where my Bipolar slightly weird way of looking at life kicks in. I immediately knew they would solve a problem:

How good is this? They are neat, can be colour coded (OCD) and stacked on each other. I feel very pleased that thinking outside of the box led me to thinking inside the box.
