Knitting journal pt. 1
(Photo for a post I'm about to make on the knittyboard.)
I use a journal to keep track of my projects, record what I've done, and design new projects. (Unfortunately the best journal pages are for projects I can't show here yet.) Usually a design page includes sketches, notes, yarn samples, and eventually a copy of the ball band from the yarn I used and a photo of the final project.
This page is the "Been there, knit that" section of the journal, which was too short, and I ran out of room for my finished items very quickly -- and I'm a slow knitter! (Note to Debbie Stoller -- change the balance of pages in the next edition. More room for FOs, less design space -- I use the design space like crazy, but there's just a ton of it in comparison to the other sections.)
The journal is the Stitch 'n Bitch knitting journal, which is not bad, but the binding is lame and there are not enough pages for finished projects. However, I'm repurposing other pages for that. I do actually love the journal other than those small problems.
