(((((((( Pill bottle, eh? Neat! Right now, I house small parts in them like thumb tacks, upholstery tacks, O-rings, screw-in O-rings or anything I want fast without going to the small parts caddy.......
I own so much that I had to reprganize in '09 and heavily! LOL!
I use all sizes of the zip bags from teeny, up a a size, up another size then to quart, half gallon, 1 gallon, 2 gallon, 2 1/2 gallon ending finally with any see-thru bag that comes on anything and particularly comforters.........
Anything in the master carry bag has zip bags inside containing the WIP/s and the tools needed for that project; No digging for anything but for the bag.
If carrying more than one WIP in a tote, all are bagged separately in the other bags so needles, yarn and hooks don't slide out, yarn doesn't get tangled, etc. I grab one bag from the tote bag and go to work (if I need pencils, stick-its, gauges, etc., they're all in there) .
Anything UFO not in a tote bag is bagged in see-thrus, too with the needled tools (to include scissors) and I don't have to go to another container for tools.
As I own tons of it all, I bought a organizer bag with five zipper see-thru pouches in there and my excess tiny parts go in there and are also in yet another see thru as the main zip see-thru is large and will hold a lot of small parts.) This main bag is zippered on the outside + handled.
I have antique/collectible counter top displays, too for needle/hook storeage; Some are lidded = dust free.
Yarn is bagged, too by weight, bagged again by color and put in the main weight bag for a bing-in-a-bag . These get put in stackables for easy viewing.
Nothing picks up dirt, dust, dander, hair or odors until removed. Everything is visible for an instant inventory should I want to see how much yarn I have of which weeight/color.
If I get messy working, it's bagged and easily reorganized.
I save ALL see-through bags and clean and dry them where necessary. I don't think I'd ever need them until I started doing this in '09. LOL!!
Antiques are displayed in baskets or vases. All the celluloid or bone hooks or needles are left out and I use go-to storages bottles like the old Alkazeltzer ones for whatever and set the bottle out for display.
Pill bottles sound like a good idea, too. I can see point protectors in there; My antique ones are display on antique needles.
Y for that hint & TY for bringing up this topic!
TTYL!

Reading about the plarn, I saw a question for pill bottles. I use them to hold yarn needles especially the metal ones, row markers, snag fixers, and just about any small item I don't want just roaming around the bottom of my tool kit bag. Any other suggestions relating to knitting kits? I like mine as if I pick up another project bag, I just transfer the kit from bag to bag. :idea: :!: :thumbup:
