i've recently had hip surgery and WAY too much time to sit and think (and of course, crochet).....what would be ur suggestion as to a way to display/store latest crochet afghans???? somehow, i HATE to just store them in a spare bedroom, cause i like to "show off" a little. i must admit, i have a tendency to make lots of lapghans and end up keeping them for the "right" moment or person. right now, they are filling up a rocker, but i feel like they are all collecting dust......what do u think???

 

thanks

This is called an apple ladder ...... don't have a clue where to buy one.

how bout folding them up neatly stacking all on top of each like on the top of the couch or a cushion you still can see them a little bit that way..........at least thats what i do:think

To store them maybe a space saver bag? The ones you take all the air out of and it flattens it. Then maybe take turns rotating them for display?

how about one of those wooden clothes dryer racks? I don't know the exact name for them, but they have several round poles on each side, kind of like a ladder, and they fold together, flat, for storage. I used to have one to dry "unmentionables" on. (wish I still had it!) It would be perfect for storing and showing!

Get a quilt rack and display one or two at a time. Rotate them every couple months with ones in the closet. That way they're fresh to you and everyone plus they're out of the way and not overwhelming.

I have recently started buying clear, see-through, tall kitchen trash bags to put yarny items in. I love them!

 

I had to hunt around a bit to get the tall kitchen bags, not lawn and leaf bags, in the clear, and in store's own brand. When I found them, I bought the biggest box of them because these are sooooooo handy.

 

You can put a folded blanket in one, so I know they would work for you. And you don't have to twist tie the open end. Just fold it neatly and tuck it under.

 

You can fit 20 6 oz skeins in one.

 

They are lightweight so they are great as dust covers.

 

All my bags before this were a semi-opaque white, and I didn't care for them. I'm much happier with the clear bags.

I love the Apple Ladder! You can display so many types of projects on it. What a great idea!
