This Craft Room took Forever to Organize - but it was worth it!

  • It has been a few weeks since we've moved into our new place - but it took me so long to get my craft room set up! Along the way it felt like I often took one step forward and two steps back - but I eventually made it to the finish!

    Engineering knits is a place for people who enjoy all kinds of vintage and antique crafts - from sewing to knitting, crochet to embroidery I like to try it all. I definitely have a preference for historical fibre crafts, and it is my dream to one day make an entire outfit from sheep to sweater. I hope you enjoy watching me and my favorite companion, Nutella, struggle through some fascinating projects!

    The wallpapered pegboard is so cute! What a cool idea.

      yeah thats such a great hack! I like the utilitarian character of the pegboard but always disliked the look. This is something else!

    What a great space! I want to encourage you to get a few things like museum putty and some specialty hanger for your lovely clocks and antique pieces on the wall, maybe even a little barrier like a painted dowel across your bookshelves. Those are the kinds of things that get more easily rattled free in earthquake country. (I know you are an engineer so you may already be aware, but from personal experience, I would hate for any of those things to fall in a little rattle and roller!)

      I just stumbled on this video and started watching randomly and I legit yelled "OMG, James Turner!!" when I saw that. 🤣

      I came on here to comment that! Love the James Turner Let's Plays. Fun to guess which one. If watching when they came out definitely High School Years either with Reginald or the kids (so HS Years/Dine Out) haha. Yup I watch a ton of James Turner and Deligracy.

    There's nothing quite like the feel of having a beautiful, functional space!
    But my favourite part is still Nutella.

    My crafting room is ALSO (eventually) going to be my work from home space, and I'm definitely taking some inspiration from how you're setting up this room! Thank you for sharing!
    Working in a not-set-up workspace stress is... intensely relatable. I'm currently working in the living room using our kitchen table 😅😅😅

  • @eljay5623

    I love your new space! Its very similar to what I’m creating… i can hardly wait to finish mine! Your peg board is so pretty… love the idea and result! Thank you for sharing your process an result. ❤

    I moved a 1-1/2 years ago and I still have yarn and fabric in boxes. Your room is adorable and I would love to sit in that chair with a coffee and shower you with affirmation as you craft away!

    Hint for next move, put screws and fasteners in Ziploc bag and tape to furniture

    7:45 , oh, I know that feeling alllll too well! “Why don’t you just fit immediately?!”
    The end result is very cozy.

    Love the room! Makes me wish I had a craft room to organize and decorate. Instead I have the white cubby bookcase thing that you have in your closet (6 cubes) and a sturdy tall basket that houses many WIPs

  • @kathleenhensley5951
    @kathleenhensley5951 Год назад

    Very inspiring... my craft-room is huge and always to total wreak of a horror. I think I will start working on it... organize it better.

    I am also currently reorganizing my crafting space so this really helped further motivate me. I bought two huge pegboards but I am hanging my yarn cakes on them to free up space and it seconds as decor! I cannot wait for it to be functional again!! Congratulations on the new home and I very much look forward to your upcoming projects!

    What a beautiful end result! The corner with your reading chair looks especially cozy, and I love the old clock... I would love to have one of those at some point... And it is indeed very satisfying to see the before and after together in the video :)

  • @ravensnow2931

    Awesome room! Knitting machine covers for the work computer monitors could be a good touch so that area of the room is a bit cozier while you craft.

  • @bluejay5531
    @bluejay5531 Год назад +1

    It looks great! The pegboard idea is fabulous, I always decided not to get one because I did not like the look of it... one of my greatest wishes is to have a craft room one day!

  • @bethtuten9378
    @bethtuten9378 Год назад +1

    Yay for a dedicated dye pot! I love the way the pegboard turned out, too. As a fellow wrist strain/ carpal tunnel sufferer, I have a burning need to know where you got the pretty pink braces. I can only seem to find boring black or 'nude'.
    And nose boops for Nutella!

    So lovely! -- Are there holes punched in the wallpaper on the pegboard to accomodate the pegs?

    I always find it interesting how other people organise spaces - although the verandah and cupboard space are blessings, it is tricky with 3 doors in one room!
    What is the metal item above the pin tray on your craft desk at 13:18?
