How do you keep your yarn wrangling organised? Well, in truth, I don't. When my stash was much smaller, I tucked it by the side of my chair in the lounge. As you can see, there is still some hiding there now. Also here, in my very organised baskets, are my knitting needles. Shoved, I mean placed gently and lovingly in the plastic case they came in. I have some pencil cases with my notions in but the red one in the picture has hand creams in and nail files. Oh, get me!
This is my stash. It is no secret to those of you who visit regularly, that my daughter went to Uni a couple of years ago so I have surreptitiously moved my stash into a corner of her room. Do you think she will notice?
This is my sock yarn. I have given up trying to hide it and I have put it on her bed!
My books are stacked up in various places all over the house. This is a corner of my daughter's desk but they are also under the coffee table and behind my chair in the lounge.
I love today's subject. I really enjoy peeping into other people's lives to see how they organise their stuff. I must confess that I feel a bit disorganised and, dare I say, untidy. I will make the promise to myself that by Knicroblo week next year I will have my stash organised, in bags/boxes and all photographed and entered on Ravelry. Well, maybe not photographed but definitely the other things I said!
For those of you with very good eyesight that is, in fact, woodchip wallpaper in the top photo. Yes we have that in our lounge. It was here when we moved in. It is a very old farmhouse and we are a bit afraid that if we pull the wallpaper down, the wall will come with it. You hardly notice it if you keep the lighting subdued and close your eyes!
I like your pink plastic trug thingys. They are lovely. Talking of lovely WOW your sock yarn is delicious. I'm sure your daughter doesn't mind giving up her bed in such a good cause.
ReplyDeleteYou have some lovely yarns! I think your daughter *might* notice the yarn stored in her room. I love this subject as well, as I am essentially very nosey and I like having a peep into peoples' houses.
ReplyDeleteI love some of the colors in that sockyarn :-)
ReplyDeleteWe have woodchip in the hall and our bedroom upstairs, we rent so don't have much choice but I imagine like yours if it came down the wall would too...woodchip and fetching artex on the ceiling!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your daughter wont notice at all, she was clearly only borrowing your wool room before she went to uni, that was always the intended purpose!
Nah, she'll never notice. It took me a year to notice my Mum had painted my old room a sunny shade of yellow (it used to be red), so a little yarn will pass right under the radar ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree with the previous comments, you daughter won't notice the difference! thanks for you comments on my blog, I did learn provisional cast on with a crochet hook, but I see the waste yarn technique a challenge :)
ReplyDeleteOooh another wonderful stash- I hope I'm not the only one looking at all these posts and wishing I could have a good rummage around in other people's stashes lol
ReplyDeletewauuuu You do have a huge stash of yarn! I love it! So many pretty colors!!
