I'm such a nerd

[amberica]

I have this knitting binder that I just put together in the last week or so. It's nice, because now I can keep track of all my WIPs and patterns and notes and stuff. I even made that nice little template that I use to keep track of my WIP notes and details. It's all come in VERY handy already.

So anyway, I have 5 extra-wide tabbed dividers that I want to use to keep the binder more organized as its contents grow. I don't know what to label the tabs!!! I mean, I have some rough ideas, I know I want one section for WIPs, and one for FO notes, and definitely one for Patterns, but what do I do with the other two? Miscellaneous info? Something else? Should I just leave them blank and figure it out later? (Ugh, I really don't like doing stuff like that. I'm so anal. ;)

Also, I have listed 16 categories that I generally sort patterns into. This is PERFECT - it means that I can buy 2 packs of the 8-tab dividers and then sub-divide the Patterns section! However, since the binder is just getting started, I might just hold off on this for now and keep things generally alphabetized until it gets out of hand.

I really love this stuff. I am CRAZY about those clear plastic sheet protectors - I can use them for patterns printed off the computer, photocopies from books, and patterns torn out of my magazines! Plus, once I'm done with a project, I can stick the notes into one of them so it doesn't get ripped or lost.
