19/31 #amigurumay | Organized

To keep organized I like to put all my WIPs in my project bag. I found this bag for sale on Etsy, and I knew right away, I had to get it. You know me, I love birds! Just look at those pelicans! By far one of my best crochet related purchases to date.  I'd love to give the seller a shout out, but since purchasing this bag they´ve closed shop.

Well I already "updated" my desk space XD My dad brought over the plastic storage container that all my smaller (mostly cotton and faux fur skeins) are now in! Along with a little area to display some stuff (just old plushies for now....LOL). I also found a plastic zip bag (from one of our bed sheets) and moved what I could of my plush yarn in there to keep it from getting covered in cat hair or if the elements decide to start ruining my yarn like I've heard some people talk about.

Also got my third cubby storage hung up, and even though it's only half full in the pic it's already filled up now XD

Yes, I got myself one of those metal rolling carts. It is perfect to store all the stuff for my ongoing yarn projects.

Handmade Yarn Box and Crochet Hooks

Hi! Hope everyone is having a productive spring! The weather is getting so beautiful here. I’ve been taking advantage of the nice weather and working outside! This is what I’ve been working on. It’s a wooden yarn box. The designs are hand drawn and hand painted, with a Pagan/Wiccan theme. It’s finished off with 2 coats of polyurithane. I am in love with the way the top turned out. I did all the…

If I got rid of like. 6 years worth of yarn stash for dirt cheap, would anyone here be interested in it? I’ll do it via eBay but I really just want it out of my apartment and don’t think anyone is going to trust a listing that’s $5 for as much yarn as I can shove in a box.

I love when I see posts like "Share how many crochet WIPs you currently have! I have 5, it's so many!"

Like, girl, I have unfinished projects from over a decade ago that I refuse to frog on the off chance I decide to finish them. I've found years-old projects I forgot I even started and will impulsively just finish it on the spot. I've started three different projects in the last 2 months, including one I started yesterday, that I already know I may or may not finish within the year depending on motivation.

The number of WIPs I have is infinite.

I don't have crafting updates but I do have my new desk/workbench more than half assembled and also I got sidetracked and ordered some stickers to put on it That did not help in the assembling of the desk but is vital to my process lol

So I ended up getting a desk for my reading/craft room XD It's honestly just perfect for the space and a place to put all our craft supplies!

Plus it's a shelf that the cats just absolutely love! And they can finally look out that window again.

Tragic news: for the first time ever, wool moths have somehow infiltrated my yarn stash. Thankfully I caught it before losing too many skeins to damage, but they got the spindle stick holding one of my first in-hand spinning projects. 😢

Since I sleep on the floor I just use this bed as a table for my yarn :^/ (still got 4 giant boxes of yarn in the garage)

But yayy I finished the fuzzy cardigan n ripped out the ribbing of my older cardigan to finally fix it (only took 3 years to get to it lol) progress! :)

It's that time of year again where I don't feel bad about buying discount yarn by justifying it as an birthday present to myself.

At least this time I had a strong idea of how I was going to use everything I bought. Keyword "had", now that I can see the yarn in person I'm not feeling as confident.

The orange hanks (Koigu Premium Merino in colourway 1113) look really good on camera but is much more peachy in person. Which isn't to my taste and not what I expected. I'm no longer sure what I want to make with it, probably something either purely practical (like a knee/elbow warmer) or a gift for someone, maybe a colourwork cowl? Or a hat for my dad to keep in his car during the winter time

The blue skeins (Paintbox Socks in Kingfisher Blue 1434) are a little bit more on me, I expected a lighter, brighter blue and didn't do enough research to double check. It's still very pretty so I'm not too disappointed, but I had planned to knit a shawl with the paintbox, the more teal blue hank (Cloudborn Fibers Superwash Sock Twist in Lagoon), and the light grey hank (Cascade Heritage Sock in Grey 5660). I still think there's a project in there somewhere, but I'm not happy with both blues together.

I've been trying not to just buy yarn because it's pretty and only buy when I have an actual project in mind, I have a big enough stash that I don't need to add more to it (arguably i need to give some away/donate it/sell it, a lot of it does not spark joy anymore now that i know what i like to create). Hopefully it doesn't take long for me to figure out what I would like to do with them.
