I made the horrific decision to clean my crochet area and my living room is covered in yarn, random shapes, plushies, hooks and crochet animal limbs. My yarn is knotted and I’m tired how do you keep your crochet (or knitting) tools, yarn and creations organized. I CANT LIVE LIKE THIS!

I have 3 bins and bags. One Bin has all my plushies and crochet items. The other 2 have yarn organized in type of yarn. And I have a few small bags with yarn. It still looks terrible but not that bad. Also a bag full of plushies to be sold.

Here’s my suggestions. Believe me I have “done” my own suggestions!
- Give away what I don’t like or not going to use- donate
- give away or donate plushies to a domestic violence shelter, homeless shelter, or for foster
kids. - Refuse to buy any more yarn until you finish your current WIPS ( So farI’ve completed about 10 WIPS this way).
- Put in 1 bin all your limbs, hooks, misc
- Put all plushie yarn in 1 bin
- Put all other yarn in another bin.
Let me know if you need any other suggestions.

My family does foster care for young kids (5-) so whenever we get a kid I like to make them something so they always remember us!

I’m doing great now!! 
Most of the homes were awful, but two of them were wonderful especially the last one where I emancipated out. Still keep in touch with that family.

I’m glad the last home worked out for you! It would be horrible to have the last few houses not work.

Totally recommend a yarn winder. I usually also separate my supplies where I have a small shelf of finished projects that I’m selling, a couple of shelves of yarn, and a small jar where I keep my hooks. That may sound organized but most of the time it is still kinda a mess

My stash is infinitesimally messy, but I manage to tame the roaring lion 
by compressing it all into a large cedar chest (which helps keep moths away).
My hooks and needles are always disappearing, but I try to keep them in a large box next to my stash, accompanied by those elusive tape measures 
As for the plushies, my shelves are so full—it feels like my room has extra insulation!

It was just me who said I was a foster teenager. I was in the foster care system from 14 until I emancipated out. At that time there was no way I was going back to the family of origin.

I would organize depending on the type of animal. For example, put all the bees together, or all the frogs together. And organize the yarn based on the color! -Bev
