Knitting storage?

[ilovecandy]

I just recently got into knitting.  Right now i am just using a bin and keeping everything in it.  So I thought I would ask how do you store your needles and yarn?

I just started knitting too so I'm not very organized. I have a basket that I have been throwing my needles and yarn in. I did get a bag full of yarn for Christmas that I have been using as well.

I have a bookshelf in my office that has baskets for my projects. One basket has all the yarn for Crazy Afghan, another basket for my grandfathers lap blanket, a small basket for the stuffie projects that I have in progress (turtle, bunny, octopus, a basket for various extra yarn, and a gallon sized ball jar with small balls of yarn that are too small for a decent project.

I have a small vase that I made in college that holds all of my needles / hooks, tapestry needles, and scissors and a small bowl I made with stitch markers.

If a basket is for a project the pattern is usually also in the front of the basket / under the basket.

My ginormous stash is in fabric bins sorted by color and weight. I got fancy needle organizers for circs and dpns, less fancy for straights

I have all my wool in storage bins.
My hooks/needles/etc are in the craft cart DH bought me for Christmas along with my latest project whatever that may be at the time.

Thanks guys! For giving me some ideas since right now all my stuff gets thrown in a bin but I as I accumulate more needles and yarn I knew I would need to figure out more.

I have all of my wool stacked inside of an Ikea cubby bookcase in my sewing room. If it's a large project (like 15 balls of brown yarn or something) then it is stored in bags in my sewing room closet.

My needles are all lying pell mell in the bottom of a basket somewhere.

I've found my great grandfather's old armoire is the perfect hiding place for all my yarn
