only like 3 or 4 of my bins are super organized, what I mean by that is like I know what’s in them and it’s all relatively similar (blanket yarn, worsted acrylic, special yarn, and basket #2 which mainly has 3 skeins of the same yarn in 3 colors (dark red, bright yellow, carrot orange) and a couple of other random balls and a skein of black I didn’t want to put in one of my other bins and/or there wasn’t room) Also basket 3 is really simple but random
My flute, a small bag of stuffing I use when I’m going someplace as to not bring the whole giant bag with me, some nice yarn, and a bag of some finished projects, so it’s small and nice but more like an ‘extra stuff’ basket
I play the piano and flute and sing so I’m quite into music and I knit and crochet so I’m quite into crafts (that’s why I’m on Ribblr)
Also I am SO NOT ORGANIZED
the only reason some things are so organized (right now
) is because we had company come over last weekend and they were sleeping in my room, so the result of it is I had to clean my room! I organized some of my yarn bins when I was doing that in the beginning and that stalled me a little from other decluttering and cleaning
two like minds, that’s generally when mine gets organized as well. too many irons in the fire, and on days when I am actually pumped to do it, some family member or friend will call and need something and when I’m done with that my desire to organize has stealthily “snuck” away
.
Yes same
I have two separate cedar chests - one for wool and wool blends and the other for cotton, acrylic, and other non-wool yarns although the wool/wool blends is overly full and I moved some superwash wool into the cotton/acrylic chest. I was just looking into both jammed full chests earlier today, thinking I need to update my spreadsheet so I can get a better handle on what I have. I haven’t done that in a long time. I learned to crochet last year (I already knit) so I hope to work down the stash but I need to know what I have first!
That’s cool! How often do you update your spreadsheet normally?
Would you be interested in a feature where you can easily input your stash and keep track of what you own? @HookedByMarilyn @Minty_Mia @NoKittenAroundStudio @crochetmineshop @yarnjunky @LDSVenus @YarnieBlonde
Sounds cool
Do it plz >:))
How would it work though?
We’ve been planning a feature like this for a while - it will be like a virtual stash tracker where you can add what you own, like yarn or hooks. How many of each, which brands etc. Similar to the pattern journal, but for stash
Do it definitely >:))
I would love that!!
I really need that feature.
I would love that!
@Ribblr that would be a great idea! mine would be hand spun yarn and spinning fiber for the most part, not that I don’t have any yarn, but more spinning fiber, i’m SABLE in that!
That sounds great I don’t have any system to track my stash! They are stowed away everywhere around the house!
I’m new to crochet I have a small-ish large-ish stash of many different colors types and textures of yar in a large tote right now and a friend is always giving me new ones. How do I even keep track of it all?
I don’t lol
Is that by choice or just because it’s super hard? @Kiwitarts
Thanks, but I would never take the time to complete or keep it up.
Because it’s supper hard for me. I’m always making something and I make a bit of a mess trying to find what I’m looking for…
