How do you keep your yarn wrangling organised?
I got this bright idea (a dorm-dweller's mentality? from moving several times? I dunno.) that the best yarn storage system would consist of temporary items that could be 1} easily moved and b} very quickly converted to another purpose should the need arise.
Behold: the stash!
in the spare room, using hanging shoe organizers, sweater shelves, etc.
 |
| small planned projects and acrylic leftovers |
 |
| large planned projects, unplanned stash, and wool leftovers |
 |
| "in process" bucket |
Behold: the needles!
contained in large resealable baggies, one each for most sizes
 |
| needles in a haystack made of needles |
Behold: (most of) the books!
in my cubicle at work; don't you judge me.
 |
| just some of the many tomes |
Behold: the... patterns? Where'd they go? I know I have a bunch of printed-out and copied... oh, there they are!
 |
| the box is marked "knitting needles" -- it lies. |
This system needs improvement also, possibly a binder with tabs
Behold: Ravelry!
this site has saved my life, as I spend a good 85% of my waking non-car hours in front of a computer.

Wow hanging shoe organiser - what a great idea. Love it.
Cool idea with the hanging organiser :) I'm trying to come up with something more interesting than my storage bucket, so I may have to adopt this one!
Hanging organizer FTW XD
Hanging organizers: brilliant idea. If only I had a spare room LOL
I have my patterns in a tabbed binder ;-)
Great idea using those hanging shoe organizers. I could hang those on the rod of my closet as I have sliding doors.
Totally dorm mindset, not that there's anything wrong with that. You couldn't stick me in a tiny room again, though!
Thanks for your comments, everyone! What did not get photographed are the thirty or so random unopened boxes from when we moved in June 2010. Clearly I have my priorities straight.
Nice and very tidy .. impressive!
the shoe hanger is a great idea :)
