New storage reveal!!!!

So here are the pics of my lurvely new, slightly obsessed with, knitting storage unit! It fits perfectly along the wall - you can just make out the door frame. There is the perfect amount of space on top of it to store boxes with the items I have made....really need to organise a craft fair to sell them!!!


Here are some pics of some of the items....

I have loads of magazines. Files with bought patterns and printed from the internet. Boxes full of gadgets. My knitting looms.


The wool by the light switch - thank goodness it is still accessible, even if now within the unit!!! - is free stuff from magazines.


My knitting books.


Why did I buy the kits here? Cos they were cheap!!! Will I ever make them?? Probably not!!!

A crochet bag with my WIP blanket. More magazines.


Speaks for itself!


Clothes, bags, gloves, hats, scarfs, purses, ipod/mobile phone covers etc that I have made.


Toys that I have made.


More clothes, hats and scarfs.


I did think about taking pics of inside each box too but decided that was a tad excessive...or should I???! Maybe a bit too sad really!! Needless to say they are full of wool. One box has some UFO's.

So I love it.

Have I mentioned that I love it?

My stash has a nice home.

No longer scattered to the four corners of the house.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!




...help...there's still more to squeeze in!

New storage!!!!

Look at my wonderful new storage unit from Ikea normally £129 but I got it for £96.75 - it's on offer this month with the Ikea family card! Really glad I waited to buy it!! Only found out it was on offer the morning we decided to go to Ikea to get it!! It is fantastic!! We built it in an hour yesterday. I then started to fill it with my knitting books, magazines, packs of wool etc!! I have also bought 8 red plastic boxes which go in the unit, I will use these to neatly store my single balls of wool.

Darren commented that it looks like a wool shop in our spare room now - in a good way. Before everything was piled up in a corner or in stacker boxes. I'm soooo excited and happy - it finally feels like my knitting has a proper home and is valued! How sad is that!! I will take a some pics when I have built the flat pack boxes and arranged everything properly.

Go now and buy one - you know you want to|!!!
