Have an Old Fridge? Use it for Yarn Storage

May 27, by Sarah White. 1 Comment

You got to see this amazing refrigerator turned yarn storage!Admittedly this is a yarn storage solution that is not going to work for many people, but it’s just so darn cool I couldn’t resist sharing.

The clever blogger behind Inspiration and Realisation found herself with a small refrigerator that wasn’t being used to keep food cold any more, so she decided to convert it into yarn storage.

She moved the fridge to her craft room, cleaned out out well and loaded it up with yarn, which is now adorably out of sight and away from dust and light.

While you might not have an old refrigerator hanging around your house, you might have other unconventional storage solutions that you just haven’t contemplated yet.

Do you have any unusual places you store yarn? Or somewhere in your house you’d like to convert for stash storage? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

    If you have children, please be careful with this idea – if they think this is a place to play, they could lock themselves in.

Chick Knitting Patterns

Recently I shared a  collection of Easter egg knitting patterns, and as we all know chicks are what comes out of eggs, so it’s only right to share some chick knitting patterns too. Chicks are perfect for spring decor even when it’s not Easter time, and they are so cute and fun to knit, too.

This fluffy chick from Sincerely Louise can also be worked in less fuzzy yarn if you’d rather. It’s worked flat and seamed so it’s a good one for newer knitters who might not be comfortable working little projects in the round. You can grab the pattern on Etsy.

This little chick from Fluff and Fuzz on Etsy looks like it’s still wearing part of its shell! There’s also an option without the white details, and you can knit these little hats as well. They’re worked in DK weight yarn. (She also has a super cute tiny egg shaped chick in a half shell that’s a free pattern on Ravelry.)

If you want ta chick that’s even more in an egg, this egg-shaped chick from Purl Soho may be what you’re looking for. It’s worked in super fine yarn so you can make a bunch of chicks with a skein or two of yarn, or use leftovers to change up the colors.

Alan Dart has a cute pattern that includes two halves of a broken egg and a chick that fits inside. It calls for DK weight yarn.

The spring chick pattern from Barbara Prime is a sweet little bird shape that you could make as other birds worked in different colors. The pattern doesn’t specify yarn weight, so use whatever yellow (or other color you like) yarn you have on hand to make birds of different sizes.

Make a cute, fuzzy, felted chick with the Chick Wobblers pattern from Cindy Pilon (available on Ravelry). These little chicks come in two sizes and have an “internal wobbler” so when you try to tip them over they wobble back up.
