What do you do with your project when youāre not working on it? Everytime I set it down or take it up I spend 5 mins unraveling everything Did I maybe choose to many colour changes?
I cannot just work on a table and leave it there as I own a clepto cat that will have a lot of fun with it if Iām not looking.
If I am working on smt but I want to put it away for a bit I will actually just put it in an old show box and slide it under my bed! I find that it just helps me to clear up my space (bedroom ) if I want to work on smt else or whatever.
Im no expert but hereās my thoughts, when you need to set it aside roll up the different yarn balls as close as possible to the project, really tight, and use the clips to secure them so that theyāre not dangling, maybe?
Have you ever seen the jigsaw puzzle mats that people work on, where they can roll up the puzzle when itās not in use?
If you were to use a towel or something like that instead, you could lay your work out on that just as you have done in the picture. Then, when youāve finished a crochet session and want to put it away, you can roll up your project with the towel (like a Swiss roll) so thereās a layer of towel in between your work and everything will be kept separate, neat and untangled ready for next time.
Have you considered getting a piece of cardboard and using hair clips to clip your crochet piece to it, and cutting slits at the top of the cardboard to hold your yarn? Sort of like this which is for friendship bracelets:
Iām not sure of the size of your project. But you could take a plastic tub and put your yarn spools on the lid. Then put the tub down over top of it and move it that way.
