September lost

I was going to do a post about some interesting advertisements in the "rejected" years for the last September post but I've lost them.   I, somehow, lost a stack of 14 magazines.  Granted they're small magazines but I can't find them and I've looked in all of the likely spots.   
​
While looking though some things got a little more organized including the yarn stash.

About ten years ago I had two small canvas boxes that held my yarn.    I have, um, a lot more than that now and I'm going to show you how I store my yarn.

This storage is for the most used yarn and holds mostly cheaper acrylics and acrylic blends - it's sorted by size.  Ten years ago there were two of these,  2 years ago there were five.   Today I added the sixth.  It's the red one in the upper right.   That yarn used to be in a bag on the floor in front of the others.   

This next area is my working area and holds a basket of yarn I use for inspiration and testing, a box of Scheepjes mini skeins, a box of Knit Picks comfy sport and a clear box of Scheepjes Catona and other cotton thread-like yarn.   The drawer has safety eyes and other decorative pieces for amigurumi.

Then there's the hidden bag between the table above and my chair.  This holds a current project and mostly Premier Everyday Yarn.
​ 

Now we move out of the living room to the rest of the stash.   I have two drawers of yarn in the office.   One is special yarn and the other is thread.
​

And one last stash area that developed when JoAnn's put the Bernat Maker Home Dec on clearance.  This is in my closet.
​

So now you know about all of my hiding spots for yarn.   I have plans for all of these  - I just need a few decades to get them all done!

Next week I'll have the October voting ready.  Here's a photo of one of the knitted sweaters in the issue.  Can you guess what year it is?
