Where do you put your scarves?
I want to know!
A question for the knitters (and non-knitters, really): How do you store your winter accessories - scarves, hats, mittens, etc.? You can't possibly all do what I tend to do, which is either not quite finish things, or leave them completed in a Ziplock bag somewhere and then have nothing to wear when I actually need it. So. They need to be out of the way but accessible, reasonably organized, and protected from moths. Now that I type that out, a Rubbermaid bin in or near the coat closet seems like a logical answer, but does anyone have any other ideas?

When I was in college my roommates and I had a small coat tree that worked really well for holding our scarves during the cold weather. I'm always on the lookout for another one. I also keep my hats and mittens in a basket so I can grab them quickly. I've been bad about it this year but I usually try to put them in a Rubbermaid container at the end of the season to protect them from moths.
I store winter knit accessories in a variety of ways. I have a coat closet (swoon) that has 3 bins on the shelf above the bar, one bin is labeled "warmth" and has occasionally used items, I have a hanging pocket organizer that stores most of our hats and I have an over-the-door 5-hook thing that stores regularly used scarves (and bags and more structured hats).
