There has now been a cull and a further refined vintage pattern collection development policy which should help.
The knitting mags are now organised (so many in just a few years!) but I haven't listed all of the patterns yet. That is classed as displacement activity from actually tidying up and chucking out. It can happen once the cull has been achieved. Arrangement comes first, then description.
Most of the culled patterns have not left the building, though. Tempting as it is to drag the recycling bin the the bottom of the stairs and throw, responsible re-homing needs to take place.
One of my personal rules during this challenge is to not hold off disposing of things in a bonanza week just so I can easily make the numbers in the next week. I promise this is not what I am doing but look out for a bumper out count next week.

My church has a fete about every quarter (this is where I got my lovely yarn swift from). They frequently have vintage patterns and about 30% of these are Patons patterns. Could you let me know what you're collecting specifically and I can keep an eye out for these?
Well done with the organising and thoughtful disposal. Go the Socks!
