More organization ideas

Ha!
I also forgot to mention in the organization event of 2011:

Loose magazines & patters

I love magazines. Love them!
I get Spin Off, which is a spinning magazine, and Interweave Knits, both of which I read and love! The have great tips and tricks!

So, here is the goal:
1. I have no idea where any thing is: so, go through all magazines, and pull out articles and patterns, I really want.
2. Set up 2 binders: 1 for patterns, and 1 for articles (with a knitting tab, and spinning tab). For everything I pull out, make sure I have the name of the mag, & date.
3. As for patterns, I have a lot of loose ones floating around. I need to compile all of them into the pattern binder.

Finished projects.
1. I usually copy the patterns I am working with, and keep notes. However, when I am finished, those notes are placed somewhere and forgotten.
2. I knit so much, but have no idea what I have finished. :) So, I need to keep a simple journal. 1 tab for knitting and 1 tab for spinning. In the knitting binder, keep- name of project, copy of pattern and notes, ball band from yarn, and all other general information.

Whew. That's a LOT! I have my work cut out for me. :)
