Pattern Organization

Organizing all the "dream projects" (that is the projects that catch my eye and I want to make someday) so they can be easily accessed is a project in and of itself! First I have three types of organization systems:

1. An electronic file! Yes I save all of my online pattern finds usually in PDF in a folder on my desktop. I also save scanned patterns here as well for my reference, or back-up if I need a fresh copy.
   
2. A magazine file! Yes I keep my magazines! Although at some point I imagine this will be too much to handle, then after weaning I will keep my favorites and scan my favorites for latter reference. I am careful about copyright laws!
3. My favorite.... Binders that have plastic sleeves that I place my printed copies of my patterns. I sort them by categories in the binder.

I also maintain a ravelry library of books, patterns, favorites and PDF's....
