I had been thinking about this for a while, but I'm thinking that I need to make a crochet binder of little swatches of different stitch patterns so that I know what they really look like (as opposed to what they look in a picture). Because some things look cool in the book, but never look as cool when I try them, and vice versa. And then, I can never remember what stitch dictionary the little swatches floating around came from.

In other words, I need to get organized.
