Show me your stash

[N0obKnitter]

Inspired by lissa's impressive stash (when are you going to open a yarn store?!?) I thought it would be cool to have a stash thread...so here's my pitiful stash:





show me yours!

Here's my meager loot:



The two boxes hang out at the bottom of my bedroom closet. The top bin contains yarn that's been allocated for projects in my Ravelry queue; the lower bin contains random skeins of yarn that have no purpose (yet).

I really like your stash...very neat and orderly and nice looking yarn, too.

Here's some of mine...the organized part. I also have some in the closet that is in bags sitting on my sewing machine waiting to be organized. These are in my computer/craft room. The long hanging thing is no longer there. I now have a small file cabinet that I use for patterns.

As soon as I learn how to use the camera I just got from DH for my birthday, I'll take some pics of mine and try to post them here. (Jan, I may need your help.)

Thanks! It started out looking like yours (a skein here, a skein there...) but it quickly started to outgrow the space I had allocated for it on my bookshelf. That's when I bought the storage bins

When I move into a bigger apartment, I want my stash to look like Jan's! It's so organized and ... together. (Everything knit-related is kept in one area. Mine is all over the place! Needles & notions in one area, current project in another, yarn all the way in the bedroom.)

You're welcome!

I'm moving in with my boyfriend end of August (giant house, by my standards...) more room for yarnage lol. I'll have to figure out some storage ideas other than my current box under/on top of chair setup. :D

I envy Jan's organization. I showed it to my husband and he's still "thinking" about where to put it. Right now everything I have is stashed in the four drawer Rubbermaid organizers and my old knitting basket. It's pretty organized. Once my new camera cable arrives I'll post some pics. I have it all stashed under my desk, since I prefer to have a PDF copy up on my screen as it's easier to keep track of my rows that way.

Of course, my husband points out that I also own a laptop and reader that I could easily load them up on and knit anywhere, but my desk chair is amazingly comfortable and good to lean back in and just knit to my heart's content.
