Organization Issues... Ideas?

last year

I am struggling with the organization of my knitting and crocheting tools. I have been losing or breaking them, since I work all around the house, and need a way to easily move and organize tools. Any ideas?

I keep my projects in bags...tote bags, reusable grocery bags, etc. I have a zippered make-up type pouch where I keep my other tools in...yarn needles, measuring tape, scissors, extra hooks, pencil/pen, etc. That way I can just reach in the bag and grab the zippered bag for whatever I need. When I'm done working, I always put the project back in the bag before I stop. If crocheting, I weave the hook into the work so I know where to find it.

Look at a fishing tackle box. They come in a range of sizes. I used to do a lot of needlework, and my work box worked well for me.

To clarify, I used the tool box for all the assorted tools involved with needlework. Current projects were in zip bags and tote bags, stretcher bars and frames were usually in pillowcases. Having the tools separate made it easy to switch projects.

I just keep mine in a box but recently bought a crate on wheels ( amazon) called a Foldable portable Rolling Cart- there are so many styles so check them out- also Ikea have the three tier rolling cart organizers.

Gallon-size and/or quart-size clear ziploc bags. Easy to see what’s in there, easy to grab.

I use the sturdyvinyl zippered bags that came with the new sheets and especially pillow cases.
