preventing frogged strands from getting tangled

When I frog large amount of strands, I place the skein in a plastic bag(grocery bag) then I deposit the frogged strand inside the bag one pull at at a time until I frogged all that is needed. Then I tie the bag loosely with the unfrogged fabric out. I don't move the bag around until I have reworked all the frogged strands. It saves me time from having to wind the frogged strands around the skein. It is much easier to pull also.

I am seeing the term frog/frogged a lot lately - what does it mean?

Frogging is ripping yarn out of stitchs in order to start over (like when your scarf suddenly looses 1 inch of width and you unravel the whole darn thing in a fit of frustration). Why is it called frogging, you ask? 'Cause you "rip it" out. Ribbit, rip it? Frog? Get it?

...I didn't make the term up. Just FYI.
