found a snow caps at lowes 2 bucks
That's like the their plant. First was a varigated hindu rope. 2nd was a o the one that looks like a green bean. And the third. Us a lan. Snow caps . Lan. Snow caps likes to be wet correct.
Sorry I'm using my phone and it puts in words in wrong. For spell check sorry . what i ment to say is for the second hoya i got it looks like green beans . i can' t remember its its name . i also got a varigated hindu rope. and i also got a lacunosa snow caps all for 2 dollars and then my question was do lacunosa like to stay wet all the time u or do they like a drying period
Thanks, Leticia. ^_^ That's much clearer. I thought you must be writing on a phone!
The green bean Hoya is probably Hoya linearis.
I usually water my lacunosas whenever the top soil is looking dry, so they stay moist, but not sodden. They are in small chunk coir, so I don't have to worry as much about the soil getting sodden and compacted. I have almost killed my lacunosa ssp. lacunosa from overwatering, when I first started learning about Hoyas and had it potted in an AV blend (1 vermiculite: 1 perlite: 1 peat). So, it IS possible to overwater them. My consensus is they like to be moist but still well-draining.
Congratulations on your new Hoyas! It sounds like you have a knack for finding steals.
GREAT Price...$2 for anything nowadays is a great bargain! Great find!
I don't keep any of my hoyas wet all the time...I'm afraid of root rot. Moist might be a better advise on Lacunosa. I let mine very "slightly" dry(top inch or two) before I drench it. Others may grow it differently, but this way has worked pretty well for my Lacunosa. Good luck!
Oh, I also wanted to say that although I do find that the performance of H. lacunosa is better when watered more frequently than other Hoyas, that is not to say that it isn't tolerant of drying out. After I almost killed my lacunosa ssp. lacunosa and restarted it, I had it in a 1.5" pot amidst some starter Gesneriads I all but forgot in a N. window. It was always bone dry between waterings. It is SUPER tough. (There were some bella starts in that flat too and they survived with the same treatment.)
I don't know if the same is true of the lacunosa cultivars. Their leaves seem a bit thinner and I have always spoiled mine.
Am guessing the String Bean Hoya to be in the group of H Sheperdhii, Wayetti or Kentiana, which all look quite similar. I would NOT guess it to be H Linearis as H liniaris is so unusual looking that few people even realize it's a Hoya (unless they're Hoya head nuts like us).
I've also seen longifolia listed as an EA plant. But shepherdii is the one that is commonly known as the green bean Hoya. It's leaves are the skinniest of all of the long-leaved Hoyas.
I find lacunosa is one that shouldn't be allowed to dry out too much, but if you keep it too wet, it suffers from yellowing leaves and leaf drop. It's one you have to walk a fine line with.
Denise in Omaha
I've been visiting our local Lowes several days a week keeping my eye on the dischidias and hoyas because the dischidias especially, are not selling.
I notice that they're starting to mark the plants down but I'm sure they would never go as low as $2. Wow! Great Find.
IMO Lacunosa is tough - with enough heat can handle dry or moist. But does not like to be moved around. Moving my 'nosa around cause leaf drop. They are super happy outside now though. I repot every other year and add new substrate to sides and bottom of the pot. Great price. My local stores trash and write off their plants cause they get more credit than selling them for $2 a piece(especially HD).

Did you enjoy Calvin Harris stripping down to his tighty whities? You'll be glad to know the Scottish DJ is prepping for a new ad campaign for Emporio Armani. The 31-year-old entertainer teased that new visuals were coming by posting another shirtless selfie on Instagram.
"On tour but also training for next Armani shoot! Staying in a gym routine while on the road is tricky, but as long as you don't drink, eat well, sleep enough and take one of those mad little ab rollers with u everywhere you'll be good." – Harris about his fitness regime via Instagram
The drinking and sleeping part is definitely the hardest for me. Papa loves his cocktails and staying up late ;) Check out Harris' latest shirtless selfie below.
The Navy must be rejoicing today. Their diva didn't just preview one track, but two new tracks.
The 27-year-old singer first took to Instagram to share two clips of "Higher." Like "FourFiveSeconds" the track is on the mellower side but instead of an acoustic guitar it's more piano driven. I really hope RiRi has some solid club bangers and more uptempo fare on her forthcoming R8.
The other track, "Dancing In The Dark," is not off R8 but instead from the soundtrack of her upcoming animated film Home co-starring Jennifer Lopez. Dreamworks shared a clip from the movie where the song is played. Check out both previews below and weigh in afterward.
On Oscar night you can't have your average run-of-the-mill photobooth. Especially when you're Vanity Fair and hold one of the most exclusive and hottest parties. The publication enlisted frequent GQ contributor Mark Seliger to snap some of the celebrities who attended their annual fete.
"As guests leave the red carpet and enter the main #vfoscarparty space, they'll have the option to stop by the studio and stake a claim to immortality — or at least strike a few portfolio-style poses." – Vanity Fair explains about their photobooth
Who chose the option to be immortalized? Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Aniston, Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne, Adam Levine, Karlie Kloss and Monica Lewinsky to name a few.
Speaking of the latter, how did the former White House intern snag an invite to the party? I'd like some tips on how to crash this party one day :) Check out more photos below Vanity Fair shared on their Instagram account.
I think it's time to stage an intervention with Ashley Parker Angel soon. Clearly, the former O-Town member is addicted to posting selfies on Instagram.
Obviously, I'm joking. If anything, the 33-year-old needs to amp things up and take it to the next level ;) The only thing I suggest is that he tones down the duckie faces. They're a tad douchey on him.
If you think, posting selfies is why he chose not to take part in the O-Town reunion, it's not. Ashley is currently in Australia on tour with Wicked playing Fiyero. Check out more pics of the singer below.
Who knew Lady Gaga was such a traditional gal? Guess hanging out with Tony Bennett mellowed her out. Getting engaged on Valentines Day would've been the last thing I would've expected from Mother Monster. My money would've been something more unconventional and unique.
"He gave me his heart on Valentine's Day, and I said YES!," she revealed via Instagram
After four years of dating, Taylor Kinney decided to make an honest woman out of Gaga. No "Bad Romance" here. The two met while shooting her "You and I" music video back in 2011.
Reportedly, the Chicago Fire hottie popped the question on V-Day with a huge heart-shaped diamond ring. They then celebrated the engagement at Gaga's family restaurant, Joanne Trattoria, located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Check out a photo of the ring below, along with a pic of the happy couple celebrating.
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson celebrated their first Valentines Day as a married couple by posing for a steamy photoshoot. Someone's still in their honeymoon phase ;)
The 34-year-old singer and her silver fox hubby claim to be paying homage to Fifty Shades of Grey due to their hashtag #FIFTYSHADESOFJOHNSON, but the photos seem more on the tame side. Where are the whips, chains and bondage attire Jess???
Regardless, the photos are stylishly done and the couple look great. Check out their Instagram photos below.
Last year, Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand was the most Instagrammed location. In 2013, it falls all the way to #9. Fret not Thai people, the top slot still remains within the country at Siam Paragon, a shopping mall in Bangkok earning the distinction as Most Instagrammed location of 2013. Random, right?
New to the list this year are Walt Disney World, High Line and Central Park in New York City and the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas. Au revoir Eiffel Tower, you've been bumped off the list. Coming up just short in second place is Times Square in New York. If it's any consolation prize to the Big Apple, it came first on the social media's most Instagrammed cities of the year list.
Check out the rest of the top locations below, along with stats about the most popular picture and holiday of the year.
Hot off the heels of yesterday's teaser release, the studio shared six exclusive pics with Entertainment Weekly. Click on the link to check them out. If you missed yesterday's short Instagram video teaser, watch it out below. I'm already beyond excited. I can't even imagine how I'll feel after Marvel unleashes the full-length trailer next week.

Citigroup And Justice Department Reportedly Near Deal
Citigroup and the Justice Department are reportedly closing in on a $7 billion deal that would settle allegations that the bank sold shoddy mortgages in the run up to the 2008 financial crisis.
The deal is expected to be announced in the next week and comes after months of tense negotiations between the bank and government officials — negotiations that became so tense that in June, the Justice Department threatened to sue if the bank did not agree to the government's proposed penalty.
The settlement may fall short of that demand, but the bank may be paying more than once expected. The deal will be made up of a monetary penalty and relief for homeowners.
Here & Now's Robin Young speaks with Business Insider's executive editor Joe Weisenthal to discuss what this settlement means and who may be next.

Kyuji Fujikawa RP TEX 9 Days
Fujikawa may begin the season in the minors in order to build up arm strength, the team's web site reports.
Fujikawa's last two appearances have come in "B" games and has featured a fastball topping out around 90 mph. He made 15 appearances out of the Cubs' bullpen last season but it seems that Texas is leaning toward having him start the year in the minors to get in regular work.
Kyuji Fujikawa RP TEX 4 Months
Fujikawa has signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the Rangers, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports.
The contract will also offer bonuses, likely tied to Fujikawa's numbers of appearances and other incentives. Fujikawa should slot in as a late-inning option in front of Rangers closer Neftali Feliz this season.
Kyuji Fujikawa RP TEX 5 Months
Fujikawa's option for the 2015 season has been declined by the Cubs, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.
Jujikawa struggled this season posting a 4.85 ERA with a WHIP of 1.85 in just 13 innings pitched. He is now a free agent and will look for a team in need of pitching relief next season.
Kyuji Fujikawa RP TEX 7 Months
Fujikawa struck out the only two batters he faced in Saturday's nightcap after retiring the only batter he faced in Saturday's continuation of Friday's suspended game.
Fujikawa has only thrown 9.1 innings for the Cubs this year, but he's struck out 12 and walked just three. He could still be the Cubs' closer this year, though his chances of winning that job are much lower than they once were.
Kyuji Fujikawa RP TEX 8 Months
Fujikawa (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day DL, MLB.com reports.
Fujikawa reported to the Cubs on Tuesday, but the team waited until Wednesday to officially activate him. His rehab stint at Triple-A Iowa went well, though he'll likely need to prove he's capable of throwing on consecutive days to stick in the major league bullpen. A trip back to Triple-A is a possibility.
Kyuji Fujikawa RP TEX 8 Months
Fujikawa (elbow) has rejoined the Cubs in Denver but will not be activated Tuesday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.
Fujikawa's minor league rehab assignment has come to an end but the Cubs will hold off on activating the right-hander for at least one more day. Although he fared well while on assignment, the team reportedly wants to see Fujikawa throw on consecutive days before giving him a spot in the major league bullpen, so it's at least possible he could be sent back to Triple-A Iowa.
Kyuji Fujikawa RP TEX 8 Months
Kyuji Fujikawa (elbow) allowed one run on two hits over one inning Monday in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Iowa.
Fujikawa, who is currently making his way back from Tommy John surgery, moved his rehab up to Triple-A on Monday after he made six scoreless appearances between rookie ball and Class A Wayne County. He could be ready to join the Cubs' bullpen after a handful of appearances in Triple-A.
Kyuji Fujikawa RP TEX 8 Months
Kyuji Fujikawa (elbow) will continue his rehab at Triple-A Iowa.
Fujikawa, who is currently making his way back from Tommy John surgery, has made six scoreless appearances between rookie ball and Class A Wayne County. The 34-year-old could be an option for the Cubs' bullpen in short order.
Kyuji Fujikawa RP TEX 11 Months
Cubs transferred RHP Kyuji Fujikawa to the 60-day disabled list.
This was merely a procedural move to open a spot on the 40-man roster. Fujikawa is still working his way back from a right elbow injury and suffered a setback during an extended spring training game in mid-April. He isn't expected to be an option for the Cubs until around mid-season.
Kyuji Fujikawa RP TEX 12 Months
MLB.com's Phil Rogers reports that Kyuji Fujikawa (elbow) left his extending spring training appearance Monday with an injury.
Fujikawa was making his first game appearance since Tommy John surgery, but he had to call the trainer to the mound before eventually exiting. It's not clear at this point whether he had a setback with his surgically-repaired elbow or something else. The Cubs should provide an update on his status at some point. Fujikawa had been shooting for a return around midseason.

Fall wall decor and garage decor
This is the other pheasant that I borrowed from my friend. I usually have a large landscape painting in this spot on the shelf, but after seeing what Lynne did with her paintings, I decided to change it up. The other pic is in the garage beside my back door. I know it's wierd to decorate in the garage, but this where most everyone comes in.
I REALLY,REALLY like that flower arrangement in the last photo! Things like that just really 'call to me'.
I've got some pictures by my garage house door too. I enjoy going in and out a lot better with that wall decorated.
hugs, Karen
I agree, why not 'Dress Up' where everyone comes in and even if it's not through the front door!
Also for your own enjoyment as well.
That floral in the lovely copper pot caught my eye too. It's a beautiful arrangement.
Your whole vignette is truly an 'Autumn Welcoming'!
Very nice.
I'm really liking that "wooden leaf" wreath with your arrangement of the binoculars & the rafia/leaves with that old pic in a beautiful Fallish frame. Frou...we also share that same floor lamp ...altho mine I've painted & on the porch. That copper pot floral arrangement is BEAUTIFUL! Looks great! TFS! Jeanne S.
Oh, I love that you decorated by your entry from your garage. Everyone comes into my house thru the garage too!
We recently put in a brand new entryway door & even that thrills me evertime I come home & see it. We had a big old wooden door for years & DH decided to update with a new aluminum door, with a full window, our wooden one had a small window that was too high for anyone to see out.
I bought a door sign in Florida to decorate my new door, it says "All dogs are pets, but Shih Tzus are family", it looks so cute on my new door, so I guess I have my garage entry decorated just a little bit!
Wish I had room for a small table like you did, but too many skateboards, bikes etc. out there! LOL
All of your holiday decor is looking great, there have been so many posted lately, want to make sure I didn't miss anyone.
Thanks girls. Jeanne that "old picture" is DH and I a couple of years ago when we attended a murder mystery weekend at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. We went as Ernest Hemmingway and Dorthey Draper. And I actually thought of you when I bought that wreath at a GS for only a dollar. It has a real earthy and simple look that I've come to appreciate.

Anybody give nitrogen to Legumes?
Oxboy555(Las Vegas)March 6, 2014
Supposedly legume shrubs like sennas, sephoria and brooms don't need additional nitrogen. Does it hurt to give it to them though periodically? What if you gave them a shot of say 15-5-10 fert once annually in the spring?
Any insight? Thanks.
ken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
are they showing any evidence of need for such ...
or are we working simply on the fact that you think your babies are hungry???
i never fert my shrubs ... any kind.. ever ..
that said.. a LITTLE of what you note isnt going to hurt anything... which begs the question ... whats your definition.. of a SHOT???
ps: though i will admit.. i quit planting ones that need pH adjusting.. etc ... if they die.. for lack of anything.. who needs them .. lol ... they are plants.. not children ...

In the past few years, adaptation to climate change has emerged as a dominant new theme in development politics, to an extent that it can almost be considered as a new development paradigm. Yet, this new paradigm and its effects are not unproblematic, as the empirical research in three East African countries presented in this article indicates. The article argues that the current transformation of environmental governance reflects not only climate change as such, but also – and perhaps even more so – the discourse of a changing climate and its effect on development politics. The empirical evidence shows that African farmers, politicians and government officials often respond to the new 'adaptation paradigm' more readily than to directly felt phenomena caused by a changing climate. We therefore argue that the ontology of the concept of adaptation to climate change needs to be readjusted. Epistemologically, our concern is to trace the discourse of adaptation to climate change across multiple sites, i.e. how it 'travels' between global epistemic communities and adaptation projects in developing countries. Drawing on actor-network theory and its concept of translation, we provide an alternative view of adaptation to climate change by highlighting the contested and multi-sited narratives and practices that bring adaptation into being.

Anyone familiar with this beer? I had some a couple of months ago and cant get it out of my head. Also cant find it in my podunk, middle of nowhere town. Anyone know the ingredients involved or have a recipe similar to this style??
It's ok i guess. They brew it right up the road from me. I have been to Texas a couple of times and remember craft beers few and far between.
Here's a link to a recipe thread on Longhammer: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/redh...a-clone-65638/
Post #9 has an attempt at a recipe, and later in the thread some folks report on their brewing results. Haven't brewed it myself, though...

RaboDirect PRO12: Dominic Ryan scores hat-trick as Leinster thrash Treviso 40-5
Last Updated: 16/02/13 8:00pm
Flanker Dominic Ryan helped himself to a hat-trick of tries as Leinster thrashed Benetton Treviso 40-5 to move within two points of second-placed Glasgow Warriors in the RaboDirect PRO12.
Hooker Sean Cronin weighed in with a couple of scores and Leo Auva'a also touched down in a comprehensive triumph with the visitors' sole success being an unconverted second half try from Ludovico Nitoglia.
Leinster hit the front on ten minutes; the industrious Ryan reached over in the corner at the end of a long spell of play on the right wing, although Ian Madigan was off target with a difficult conversion attempt.
Number two arrived three minutes later as Cronin ran through on the left side following a couple of outstanding breaks by his Ireland colleagues Luke Fitzgerald and Fergus McFadden and Ryan added his second of the evening midway through the half following a well-orchestrated lineout drive.
Cronin joined him in bagging a brace when he finished off a sweeping move in front of the posts on 27 minutes and, with Madigan converting, the half-time lead stood at 26-0.
Ryan completed his treble six minutes after the restart, opportunistically breaking away from a maul before touching down - Madigan adding a fine conversion from the touchline.
But Treviso stuck manfully to their task and were rewarded with the score that their efforts deserved when wing Nitoglia produced a sharp finish to ground the ball in the right corner at the end of a fine team move.
But it was Leinster who had the final say on 69 minutes, Auva'a, a late call-up to the replacements bench, going over to the right of the posts with Fergus McFadden converting in the absence of Madigan.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Chilly, autumnal weather shouldn't keep you inside
I have a question for Mother Nature.
Technically, it's not my question. It's a question that was posed to me Friday afternoon by a colleague when I arrived at the Free Press News Caf© to chat with a couple of talented Fringe Festival performers for our website.
When a colleague saw I was writing yet another entertaining and educational weather column, here's what she wanted to know: "Hey, Mother Nature, why you playin' us like it's autumn? It even smells like autumn out there."
I have to say, Mother Nature, that is an excellent journalistic question. One week we are enjoying a sweltering July heat wave and then -- BLAMMO!!! -- suddenly we are reaching for our long underwear and fuzzy sweaters.
It was so cold and damp on Thursday night that -- Grab a box of Kleenex before you read this next sad bit -- we were forced to cancel our bocce game at Mona Lisa Ristorante.
Fortunately, I have moderately good weather-related news for everyone who is weary of dodging raindrops and wants to eke out a little more enjoyment from a Prairie summer that can't make up its mind about what kind of summer it wants to be.
According to Environment Canada, we will see nothing but sunny skies this weekend. Today's outlook calls for sun and a pleasant high of 22 C, which is still a full four degrees below the normal high of 26 C at this time of year.
On Sunday, look for more sun and a toastier high of 24 C. On Monday, however, grab your rubber ducks and put the slipcovers on your barbecues, because it's going to be moist. We're talking rain followed by scattered periods of more rain and a high of 23 C.
The point the Weather Column is trying to make is you should put down this newspaper right now and run outside to soak up as much summer sun as you can before autumn arrives for real.
I strongly suggest you take in the final weekend of the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival, featuring 169 shows at 32 venues. You should definitely check out New Zealander Penny Ashton's one-woman show, Promise and Promiscuity: A New Musical by Jane Austen and Penny Ashton, and Emma Zabloski's show, Keeper, because I just interviewed both of them (Go look at the videos right now at www.winnipegfreepress.com) and they are wicked-talented and super-nice. Tickets are $10 and available at the door, the box office at 174 Market Ave., or online at www.winnipegfringe.com.
If you feel like a drive, hop in the car and head out to the annual Gimli Film Festival with its sand-filled free beach screenings. Tonight we're talking Grease and Sunday it's The Deep. Full fest schedule at www.gimlifilm.com.
Being worldly, culture-loving Winnipeggers, you are going to want to be down at The Forks today from 4 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. for the Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Folklorama Kickoff featuring some awesome national and international performers moving to rhythms from around the world. Fireworks start around 10:45 p.m., weather permitting. Folklorama runs Aug. 4 to 17.
So, yes, it's going to be a tiny bit colder than normal, but do not let that deter you. Slap a smile and some sunscreen on your goofy faces and get outside, because we do not want to make Mother Nature any (bad word) angrier than she is already.

We asked the question, and you gave us the answers. Below you can find a great list of ways to keep your yarn tangle free. Working with multiple skeins of yarn at once can become very messy and frustrating. Sometimes even simple crochet patterns can take a while to work up. Not because it's a long pattern or even difficult to read, but because your many skeins of tangled! How do you crochet without tangling your yarn?
43 Ways to Keep Your Yarn Tangle Free:
Nicki: I take the time to wind my skeins in to balls. This seems to make it SO much easier to work with than leaving it in the skein.
Ritainalaska: I kit up my project in a bag to fit the yarn, packed so that the yarn will pull from the inside. If doing color work, I can wind bobbins easier and if doing two pieces, I turn one way one time, the other way the next time. I can pack two or three projects, knit and crochet in my work bag and never tangle.
Linda: If it's real tangly I stop & working from the opposite end wrap it into a ball, otherwise just untangle as I go.
LizzieK8: I never use center pull balls as they eventually collapse and tangle. Keeping my yarn in a small project bag, bowl, box, or even plastic bag keeps it safe and tangle free.
Christine: I keep my yarn in a 2L pop bottle I've cut in half. I put the yarn inside,thread my wool through the top opening, then squeeze the bottom half of the bottle to put it back together. This also keeps my yarn from gathering bits of dust or my long hair.
Julie: I use a recycled oatmeal container, (but you could use just about anything with a plastic lid), poke a hole through the lid, feed the yarn through and place the yarn in the container with the lid on top. This keeps my yarn tangle free and you can use more that one container if you are using more than one color.
Knittingdancer on Ravelry: I punch a small hole in one side of a ziploc bag to pull the yarn through before I cast on. I put the cake or ball of yarn inside the bag pulling the end through the hole and closed the ziploc bag with the ball of the yarn inside it. The only yarn that is outside the bag is the yarn that is attached to my needles.
Cheryl Flanders: I use a gadget called Yarn Tamer. It will unwind your yarn flawlessly. You insert the center of your yarn skein/ball onto the plastic sleeve and start to unwind. It keeps your yarn clean, off the floor (away from pets!) and prevents tangling. You can throw it in your knitting bag and take it along with you.
Cynthia Wilbanks: After winding my yarn into balls, I place them in decorative bowls I have found at the local thrift store. The bowls are usually a deeper "vase" type so the yarn cannot jump out or roll around too much.
Carmen: I put the yarn in a bag that allows it to roll or turn as needed for me to pull (if I'm not using a center-pull yarn) but it doesn't allow enough movement to become tangled.
Mary L: I always find the yarn end that is inside the skein and pull it to start my row. As the yarn is used it slides easy out of the skein. To keep skein from rolling around I insert it into the plastic bag that my morning paper arrives in or a bag that accommodates the skein size.
Lenore: I use extra large bobbins and a russian join. This way I avoid knots and lumps in the project. This is particularly convenient when I am knitting fair isle or any other multi-color projects.
Susan Havens: I have used empty "wet wipe" holders. My skein will fit in it and not tangle. I just pull the yarn out through the top.
Darleen Worm: Currently I am working on an afghan with big needles using 4 yarns at one time. I used to spend more time untangling than knitting! I tried a variety of tips but what works best for me is to use the yarn from the OUTSIDE of the machine-wound ball rather than from the center pull. It seems to twist less. Then I place each yarn in a round quart size plastic container and separate the containers physically around me on the floor about 1 1/2 to 2 feet apart from each other-one each left and right and two in front but still a good distance away from each other. When I want to put my project away I just stack the containers (yarn still inside) and slip it all in my tote bag. It takes up a bit of floor space but makes knitting so much easier.
Candy Ferrall: If the yarn is "self-wound" I leave it alone, otherwise I roll it into a ball before I start. I knit with my yarn in a container next to my chair. I haven't had a problem with my yarn tangling doing this. It also gives me a place to store the needles, pattern, notions, etc that I need for that particular project.
Linda Stewart: If going in both directions, I flip, then flop project. For color work in grafts I use yarn bobbins for each color and let them swing in the back until needed.
Bernice: I have used a number of different things. I've used 2 litre soda bottles, 1/2 gallon plastic milk or juice containers, and I've used ziploc bags. I use ziploc most often, especially for travel projects.
Kerri Archer: My mother-in-law gave me a lovely bag that I use, especially while traveling. It allows the yarn to have just the right amount of movement (and it is also a great place to store needles & project). However, this past Christmas, my mother gave me a yarn organizer that stores up to six skeins of yarn at a time. Each skein has its own compartment. I simply pull the yarn through the holes in the lid. No tangling, no dirt, no problem!
Fran : I am fortunate to have a knitting stand. I usually just close the lid and the yarn stays free flowing. I just try to keep an eye on it, to be sure it does not hang up on anything.
Jenni Kane : I am a huge fan of ziplock bags. I put all the necessary yarn in the bag and zip it partially shut. It keeps the yarn clean and all together.
Jill Hennes : Empty liter soda bottles, but most of the time I forget and just deal lol
Shannon : I keep it in ziploc bags. It's a great method because you can use different size bags for different size balls of yarn.
Caro l: I use one of those pretty cardboard wine carriers that you can find. I put a hole in the tube's cap so the yarn can come through easily. It even has a rope handle on it so you can carry it where ever you go. Works for any size yarn.
Pat: I wind the yarn into a ball then put in a plastic zip bag and cut a hole in one corner to thread the working yarn through.
Rae Cicelske: I use a small laundry basket with holes and run the yarn through separate holes.
Paula Corman: I wind my yarn into balls and I sit in bed,hopefully without my cat, and put one ball of yarn on each side of my hips.
Tammy Hempel: I usually sit in a chair with my thread in a sack brown sack at my side. This way when I pull on the thread, the ball or skein stays put and I am not chasing it all over the floor. The side of the bag is stiff enough to hold the thread or yarn up and keeps it from tangling. I get a nice flow of thread or yarn this way.
Ann Kinderknecht: I found a large vase someone didn't want and it's big enough and tall enough to either put a pull through skein in or a ball of yarn and it just rolls around in the vase…(the balls not the skein:)! ty
Sue: I use ziplock bags too. I also took a small clear make up case from walmart and punched holes in the sides. I use it when I do two socks at once. One cake feeds out the front the other from the back or you can use the inside and outside of the same cake this way.. Works great.
Jeanette: I put each ball or skein of yarn in a separate bag and pull. I usually check every second row to make sure it isn't twisting too much.
Kate: Just like a lot of other people, I either pull the yarn from the center of the skein or I roll it into a ball. I keep the skein or ball in a bag while I'm working so the cats can't get it.
Smfsprout: I 'borrowed' this tip from another crocheter. I use the plastic sleeves that are used to keep wine bottles from banging together. They expand to fit a full skein and contract as I pull the yarn through the center.
Pam: I have recently started using a bowl to put my yarn in.
Kimberly Canale: I always wind my yarn into center pull balls. Rewind when necessary.
Melinda: I wind my yarn into a ball and then put them into small stryofoam containers that I have from my medication. I put a hole in the lid and the yarn through the hole, comes out with no tangles, keeps the yarn clean and out of the pets reach.
Chevas Hefflinger: I put two colors in a large ziplock bag and have each side open and zip it in the middle
Juanell Dunlap: I wrap yarn skeins into balls and either put it beside me or in my crochet bag. Another way is clean out 1 or 2 liter pop/giner ale bottle; dry thoroughly! Put yarn inside, put bottom back on and crochet or knit away.
Char55: If I'm working with a pattern that calls for small bobbins of several colors, I wind each color of yarn around a spring type clothespin and when I finish with that particular color, I put the working end of the yarn in the mouth of the clothespin to hold it so it won't unwind while I'm working with another color.
Terri L: Once my center pull skeins get to a certain 'thinness' I start from the outer end and wrap the rest into a ball and place it in a small sandwich bag with all but a small portion zipped closed.
Lynn Sanders: I take an empty plastic coffee can and cut a quarter size hole and tape the edges, place the yarn inside and it pulls just fine with no tangling.
Carolyn: I take empty paper towel rolls and wind my yarn around the roll.
Sherry: I use a tall narrow bag and pull the inside yarn. Works great. But here is an idea I haven't tried that came from a friend who pulls the outside end. Slide the yarn over a paper towel roll.
- Jennifer Bellamy: I have my Mother wind the yarn into balls and then I have no problem with it tangling as I use it. It is often in a tangle for my Mother to untangle.

I use an old Huggies baby wipe box. Pull from the slot and nothing gets tangled.
I always wrap it in a ball
I use to put one skein in a plastic pop bottle like (coke), take off the bottom and put it in then put the bottom back on and pull the string out of top..Use two bottles and it works great..You then can hold yarn out of both bottles and crochet!
OLD KNEE HIGHS! Stuff your center pulls in old knee-highs, trouser socks, panty-hose (cut off legs - one leg makes two), etc. They hug the yarn perfectly, conforming to the collapsing ball to crochet from beginning to end with no tangles!
I really think that the yarn merchants should think of a way to make it easier for us crocheter and knitters from tangled yarn. We would not be so frustrated untangling yarn. I end up so frustrated some times that I will use the tangled yarn into stuffing. Or put outside for the birds to make their home. lol
Here's my problem. I keep all my yarn in my special closet and have many wired shelves. I have too many different color yarn to wind into balls. I also like to see what I have so I don't go and buy more yarn. If I put in ziplock then they slide off the shelf. I tried rubber bands around the skein but if I forget to put the rubber back on, then it gets tangled up again. What to do?
I'm surprised I did not see this tip anywhere. When using skeins that you pull the yarn from the center, put the skein in an old knee-high hose. It's great, the hose keeps gentle compression on the skein as it gets smaller, there is no twisting or tangling and the yarn stays clean. Also when using multiple colors, just use some yarn and a darn needle to tack one side of the top of the knee high to another.
