Throwback Thursday: Question

I’ve asked this question before, but it’s fun to see how answers have changed (and how many more respond this time around!)

Where do you store your WIPs and the hooks/accessories you’re currently using?

I have a nice fancy-cardboard box my sister gave me full of yarn once, and I sometimes store my WIPs in there with my recent F/Os, and other findings. Otherwise, I’m still storing some on the arm of the couch! I do still keep my recently used hooks in a glasses case, along with my scissors and yarn needles!

What about you? Where do you store the things you’re actively using when they’re not in use?

Or you can just reply to a post, and let me know you’re interested, though sometimes I don’t see replies, so fanmail and ask box are safer bets!

Ever had a project accidentally destroyed by a child or pet?

I’ve been lucky enough (so far) that my dog, daughter, nephew, or sister’s dogs haven’t totally destroyed anything - pulled out 10 stitches, maybe, but nothing too serious!!
