We have more, more, more stuff, so we need more, more and more storage! Especially we, crafters, know how great is the feeling of bringing home bag full of new yarn skeins. But where do we store them?

Well, one idea I have for you, is to make some of these elegant and handy crochet baskets. You can put them on shelves or on the floor, depending on your interior design. One thing is certain — they look so good, that you can put them on plain sight. No more hiding your stash! Of course, you can use these baskets in many different ways — for example, to organize kids’ toys or toiletries. Search for links to free patterns under the pictures below.
