Knitting Magazines

If you've started to accumulate knitting magazines, here's a way to find the pattern you know youro have a year or two later. When you receive the magazine, make a copy of the cover and the table of contents and keep it in a 3 ring binder. If it's a magazine like Creative Knitting, make a copy of the back inside page where there are photos of all the projects in that magazine. Make a tabbed divider for each magazine subscription you own or else keep a separate 3 ring binder for each subscription so you could store multiple years in one binder.

To take this system a step further, note on the table of contents which patterns interested you and for whom you intended to make the item. You could also note yardage needed and type of yarn used (from your stash of course!) so when you are ready to start a new project, it’s easy to begin. Another option is to use the Ravelry Library and build your collection electronically with links to the various websites of those magazines.
