Have you thought about making or repurposing some sort of tray that you can paint to look nice, put on the table with all of your knitting stuff, and then keeping it all confined to the tray? That way, only one part of the table will be messy and you can also lift it all off easily.
Buy a rolling plastic craft organizer.
Put the clutter in an attractive basket that compliments your decore
Find a basket or other container with a lid so everything is out of sight.
Use a storage ottoman or chest as your coffee table.
an inexpensive toolbox works for me.
I also crochet & knit & I use a wicker laundry basket to put all my projects and thread in to keep it handy by my chair but not all over. Michael's has them on sale often for $3 or $4.
I LIKE THE SMALL LAUNDRY BASKETS WITH LOTS OF HOLES, WHEN YOU HAVE A BALL OF YARN YOU CAN RUN IT THROUGH A HOLE AND IT WON;T ROLL AWAY
I have a tapestry stand with wooden handles....purposely made for knitting/sewing/crocheting projects. the inside of the stand has cloth handles, so that you can hang the whole thing up in a closet if you like! It will also stand pretty much closed, for when you are done for the night! It is an older type of solution, but you might find one at a garage sale....or maybe online?? Mine was a gift, and I definitely use it! Hope this idea helps!
What if you made a bucket organizer or stool?

Maybe a Coffee table storage unit might be a good idea or a work box or basket for you?
