I have an app on my ipad called Ewe Stash…it is great for cataloging yarns and patterns with them…the problem is that everytime I see something new that I like, i buy it anyway!

I buy kitty litter in the bucket and use them and soap buckets. I put my projects with project and yarn and other needs in ziploc bags and then put a picture onthe outside of the bucket and store them on shelves in my basement. If I bought baskets or other storage compartments for all my projects well let’s just say I have not won the lottery.

All my yarn is separated by type (i.e. worsted, fingering, bulky etc.) and stored in very large clear plastic totes under the counters and work table in my studio. I have about 20 totes. Projects are kept in clear plastic smaller totes in one of the closets in the studio on shelves. Nothing can be kept out because of kittie, Pearl who has a yarn fetish. I cannot feed her addiction. Actually I guess you could say I have a yarn fetish too….those plastic totes are really big!!

I’m a fan of the zip-lock bags. The gallon size is big enough to hold a pattern and the yarn for it unless it’s a large sweatetr. My usual projects are socks, shawls and scarves though – so it’s not much of an issue. I have a rather smallish antique trunk and the zip-lock bags go into it until they are pulled out to be worked and the pattern and yarn are moved into a project bag. I like the ziplocks for the simple reason of keeping the yarn clean and dust free in my not-always-so-tidy-house and the fact that they are see through. I also have several project bags and on the occasions that i have a sweater in the que, a couple of them are larger and able to hold more yarn.

I like your baskets but I don’t have the wall space for a system like that. Every square inch of wall in this house is either holding up a bookcase or has one of my brother’s paintings on it. Except for the last foot before the ceiling. Only that doesn’t seem very practical. So I keep mine in project bags hanging on the back of the tv room door on a purse “rack” (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Jokari-06518-Hanging-Purse-Rack/dp/B000NBV9CO only I don’t think mine came from Amazon) if they are something I intend to start right away or I also have an Ikea paperboard box that fits into a storage unit that is labeled “On Deck” for things that don’t fit into a project bag or are something I am admitting isn’t going to get started right away.
