Thinking outside the (glove) box

My husband's car has a stupidly small glove compartment. For a full size family car you'd expect to get full size family storage it this one isn't even big enough to fit the owners manual. That fits into a pocket in the compartment door! Because of its compact size we've never kept anything in the glove compartment until last week when I discovered a use for it.
I'm knitting a sweater for my Dad using Aran weight yarn which comes in 200g skeins. 200g of Aran rolls into a pretty big ball, which just happens to fit (you've guessed it!) in the glove box! So my husband drove and I knitted with my massive ball of yarn safely stowed!
