My new studio

I had a very exciting addition to my studio recently. I was feeling buried in baskets full of yarn and projects, so I got some wonderful new shelves from IKEA. It is amazing what a difference it makes! There is so much more room now that I'm using so much vertical space.

This shelf is completely dedicated to works in progress. I had a few more than I thought I did. 

Here is some of my yarn. I organize by fiber, so on the left is the wool (and some felted sweaters that I'm using to sew things out of) on the bottom right and middle right is the superwash wool, and in the middle and on the top right are cotton and cotton blends.

More wool. I know I have a lot of brown... I sort of stocked up a while ago for  making hobby horses. 

A few of my knitting and crochet books and magazines. I put these on the shelves first, I love the way they look!

I kept my knitting needles and crochet hooks in the glass containers, they are just arranged a bit differently than before. This is still my favorite way to keep them.

I picked up a few dowels at the craft store to keep my ribbons on.

I'm loving having enough shelf space for my works in progress. Before I only had shelf space for my baskets of yarn. All of the baskets with things I was working on would be on the couch or on my sewing table. It is so nice to have a place for them, I can just grab a basket and work on it for a while, then return it to the shelf when I'm done, or trade it for another. The best part is that I am now able to use the table!
