There are as many ways to organize your crocheting as there are different people. Everyone usually settles on a favorite organization method after they have been crocheting for awhile. Here are four ways to try and keep your crocheting organized.
- Container method: bag, basket or box, I use this method frequently as it helps me keep my projects all together. It can get overwhelming if you have too many projects all started at the same time. Simply keep each project in its own basket, bag or box. I used to keep a travel project to work on while waiting at music lessons or the Orthodontists office. It is amazing how much work you can get done while you are waiting.
2. All in one place: I have also kept all of my work in one place in my living room. There are unfortunate side effects of this method. We would run out of places to sit and this is my husband’s least favorite method of project storage. Â I try really hard not to use this method but sometimes the basket spills over on to a chair or couch.
3. Seasonal method : Work on projects during certain times of the year. During our Fall and Winter are ideal times to be snuggled under an afghan you are crocheting. Spring/summer are perfect for lighter weight projects like hats, bowls, Christmas ornaments. I have to admit that working under an afghan in the Oklahoma heat of June, July and August tends to make me want to keep the air conditioning turned lower than it should.
4. Calendar method: Work on different projects according to the days of the week. Monday you would work on the baby sweater, Tuesday the afghan for your husband, Wednesday the crochet hat, Thursday the baby sweater again. Â I have done this occasionally but it is not my favorite as I do not remember which project to work which day.
How do you organize your crocheting? What is your favorite method?
