Yarn Storage Solution?

Spotted this one day reading about storing your yarn.  These are shoe-bags, right?  Would look cool in your craft room, if you have such a thing.  Adds color to any wall, but I don't know?  The tops would get dusty...then again things should be laundered after you make them anyway...but, all the yarn here looks to be the same size, in terms of the hanks....

What if this were in a closet?  Ideas are fun.  Let's speculate.  What do you all think?  Is this a good idea?  Would you do it?  Do you have room for it?  Do you have that much yarn....I know I have more than this would hold.

As of the writing of this scheduled post, I've not received any photo's for the contest....times a ticking folks.  Remember you don't have to be a knitter or crocheter to get in the act.  Link below for the dates and rules of the contest.  Spread the word and start sending in your pictures.

**Little bit of an up-date status post A-Z Challenge.  While the challenge ended in April, I continued to visit blogs on the linky, as well as those who had visited here.  I've removed a few from the blog list who apparently are spent after the challenge and not currently blogging.  I've also added a few of folks who were continuing to visit.  AND now there's the road trip.  See the new little badge in the right sidebar?  It's another linky, folks from A-Z who want to continue rounding sign up.  Soooo, I'm gassed up and still making lots of blog visits.  This linky is just a couple of hundred people by comparison to a couple of thousand.

Lola and Yarn Bombing, Bridge and Beyond Style

Not to make light of the sad situation of Homelessness, but.....we knitters and crocheters can always use a little laugh to keep us going.  Spotted this the other day in my email from Lion Brand and thought it was cute and worth sharing.  Love the play on words about yarn bombing.  Oh Lola, she's such a joker!

Ok.........this gives me an idea.  We've not had a contest here in quite awhile.  How bout everyone actually do some yarnbombing...Lola style ( you knitting or crocheting, holding yarn) and email me your pictures.  We'll display them here on Bridge and Beyond.  Each person who participates gets an entry into the yarn bombing photo contest and a name will be drawn the winner.  Take your pictures through the end of the current month, May, and on June 1st we'll announce the first winner.

On June 2nd, I'll post all the pictures so folks can vote for the photo they like best for yarn bombing and that will be the 2nd winner which will be announced on June 10th!  Quick, go mark your calendars, I'm doing the same so I don't miss the dates I told you.
