I currently a three drawer rolling cart, two plastic drawers, one large rolling bin, and two ottomans filled with yarn. I may have to try your ring binder idea. I have a scrapbooking container I use but this hasn't worked well. Oh, and I have my mom's old stand-up container. My problem is patterns, because I don't knit well without one. In fact, I'm currently in the midst of frogging back a few rows of my current project because I forget what size I was making. <br /><br />Good luck with the studio!Maebemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706540456819503068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-45292853046951702362018-11-14T23:27:07.533-05:002018-11-14T23:27:07.533-05:00Oh, dear...

And really, some of that yarn is gorgeous! <br />I do know the dangers of pretty boxes (and drawers that close) where you can hide away unsightly odd ends without having to deal with them. You're making me think I should blog about my craft space.

I have huge airtight (so the Container Store claims) bins in a guest bedroom. Not attractive at all, and I don't even move them out when my daughter visits. She understands; she's a knitter too.<br />knittergranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160027913020949487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-82029429605900054792018-11-13T12:34:05.751-05:002018-11-13T12:34:05.751-05:00I'm going to be so excited when I have my own ...I'm going to be so excited when I have my own "studio".

Love the 3 ring ...This had me laughing out loud! <br /><br />Love the 3 ring binder thing for needles. Right now, mine just sit in a bag and I have to dump the whole thing out to find what I am looking for, only to find that the correct size is either missing or has 3 sets of needles or more to choose from.<br /><br />Considering I have much less yarn to store than you do, I can skip the dresser, though now that the kids are gone, I may have a couple of empty ones around. Will re-think this. I thought I wanted some clear plastic bins so I could see on a shelf what I have, but not sure if this is a good idea or not. All that yarn lying around waiting for me to do something with it.<br /><br />My daughter just had a baby girl and said to me yesterday, "You're going to make her smocked dresses, right?" Did you know, smocking is apparently out of style and all my sources for fine batiste have dried up? Thoughts anyone?<br /><br />Thanks, Rena, for pulling out all the stops for me!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08556301919720689325noreply@blogger.com
