how do you...

[chrissyf]

I just received my copy of the pattern a day crochet calender. Those of you that have it how do you store the patterns. I really like them and want to keep them nice.

thanks

Well, for now, I'm just tucking the "keepers" behind one of the cardboard pieces and the ones I won't make go in front.

 

What I did for last years is I got a three ring binder and some of those clear page protectors and just put the "keepers" in there and left the rest in the box.

 

It's the same system I use for my recipes, free patterns from the web and other paper stuff I keep, but use often.

Chrissy, I've been wondering the same thing! Tiga, your idea to separate the "keepers" as you go sounds good... maybe I should start doing that too. I've just been keeping them in order so far.

 

Hmmm... Hope there are lots of replies to this one!

I just keep them in the box and give a look-see when I'm thinking I want to try something new. I admit, I gave away the patterns I didn't want in last years as RAOK here. I aleready have 5 binders of patterns on my bookshelf, it might break if I put another one there. patty

Patty, amazon.com are still selling it: http://www.amazon.com/Crochet-Pattern-Day-2007-Calendar/dp/157939261X/sr=8-1/qid=1171668547/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-3946659-1208827?ie=UTF8&s=books

 

Sorry for the long link!

I just kept mine in the calendar box. I figure this way I can find the pattern I need by the date when I look up a particular pattern in the index. If there's a better way I'd be glad to hear it.

Thank you so much for the link, I will check it out this week-end as we will be sitting in Eloy, AZ.

 

Thanks again

Whoop! I just bought mine new on eBay for only $8.05 with shipping!

 

What I do with loose patterns is put them in a multi-pocketed filing folder, according to what they are - household items, clothing, baby items, etc. Then when I want to find a pattern, I just take out that whole section and flip through it. The pockets keep things neat and organized, and I don't have to go through every single thing each time I want to find something.

 

I don't know if I'll do that with the calendar, though. Since it has a list of the patterns, I may just keep it all together. I guess I'll have to figure it out when I get it!
