Our Topic today: How do you keep your yarn wrangling organized?
I have been laughing hysterical since I went around taking pictures of all the different places that I have knitting paraphernalia.
Now, in my defense (I know I am speaking to the choir here but I still feel like I need a defense), I am running a knitting business from my home.
But Holy noodle, I have stuff everywhere!!! My house is rather neat and except for the smallest bedroom being a craft room you really have no idea that I have so many things in this house. That's got to be good right?
As for how I organize the yarns I tend to put them together by weight, then fiber. It seems to me that I am looking for a weight of yarn before I am looking for a color or certain fiber.
And now I present the Stash Show!!

You have an amazing stash and you are admirably organized!
Wow, you look really organized for having all that yarn. I love your idea of rotating your seasonal magazines!
Thanks Kpanie, It give me a false since of being in control of much more of my life.
Seasonal Magazines:
not sure when I started that. I think it was when I was looking for some holiday idea in Martha Stewart's Living and i was having to go through all the years that I decided that organizing them by year didn't work for me. This really does.
Wow, that is an impressive stash! I am very jealous of all your books and magazines!
