Magazine Conundrum

I am currently having a Magazine Conundrum...

I've been knitting & crocheting now for about 8 years.  I've amassed quite a collection.  What do you do with all of the ones that you accumulate?  I am never going to knit and crochet everything I want out of them.  And now that Ravelry exists and there are so many designs published straight to the Rav platform, I see and cast those on faster than the ones in magazines.

I don't really have an answer, but it is getting the point where I need to find one because I am running out of room.  Options so far:

• Recycle them all.  If I need a pattern in the future, I can get an e-version.
• Go through all of the magazines.  Tear out the pattern instructions I am interested in and recycle the rest of the magazines.
• Keep them all and buy more storage.

Right now, I am least inclined to the last option because I rarely knit the patterns out of magazines.  I enjoy reading the articles, new techniques, and forthcoming products, but I do not necessarily buy them for the patterns.

Thoughts?  What do you do?
