As most of my knitting cohort is aware, my stash has reached rather alarming proportions. Since I'm not willing to part with any of it, for the moment, the issue becomes how to safely store my precious. Under the futon is its usual home, although the "current projects" overflow is now neatly stowed on a shelf in the closet.
Still, those bins on the floor have been looking pretty overfull lately, and I started to worry (during my 2-day, 18-hour, compulsive spring-cleaning extravaganza) that the yarn would get dusty or otherwise harmed if the lids weren't tightly sealed all around.
So I finally broke down and went to the Art Store to buy the plastic containers I've been lusting after for almost a year. They come in numerous shapes, sizes, and colors, but I decided I'd like to showcase some of my prettier yarn, so I went with largish clear bins, both square and circular (well, cylindrical, anyway).
They look very charming atop one of our taller bookcases, and they would be more inspiring still if that room got any decent light that high up. But I'm also warmed by the knowledge that two future sweaters and some assorted quality leftovers are safely stowed in plain view.
