Like my food recipes, I'd have to live a couple of lifetimes to go through all that I THINK I want to try. HAhaha
Actually, I let the library store those patterns for me... in the form of books, magazines, etc. and then when I actually need to start on a project, I make photo copies (at the library) and go on from there.
Remember, "Less is more." more room for storing stash, moving around, breathing, etc. Good luck.
