How do you keep your yarn wrangling organised? It seems like an easy to answer question at first, but in fact organisation exists on many levels. Maybe you are truly not organised at all, in which case I am personally daring you to try and photograph your stash in whatever locations you can find the individual skeins. However, if you are organised, blog about an aspect of that organisation process, whether that be a particularly neat and tidy knitting bag, a decorative display of your crochet hooks, your organised stash or your project and stash pages on Ravelry.
Living in a small space, I don't have the luxury of the awesome crafting studios and cupboards I've seen today from other bloggers. Nope. My stash is in a tupperware in my closet.
There are a few skeins around the house, but unless it's on the needles, it's probably in this box. I like to keep things neat. A few years ago, I heard horror stories about moths, and a girl at club had a bedbug infestation and we lost all of our charity yarn - so, now, I keep all my "nice" yarn sealed up in ziploc bags. Yarn for specific projects is tied up in plastic bags. Cheap charity yarn/acrylic goes in a shopping bag all in a jumble.
To organize projects, I mostly use Ravelry and this blog to keep things sane. I don't normally work on more than two or three projects at a time, so that kind of stuff isn't that hard. I really love the queue and the stash organizer on Rav - I use them obsessively to plan out projects, see if I have enough yarn, etc.
Oh, and another thing. I have a secret stash of yarn.
Hehe. Don't tell W!
Shhhhhhhhhhh...my lips are sealed.
