Tuesday Tips: Notebook
I had a hard time coming up with a tip this week. So, I look around my knitting "station" and wondered what I always had on hand. My little notebook!
A lot of knitters favour sticky papers on their patterns. I tried those, but I kept losing them--especially since my knitting is mobile. (Actually lost my nieces foot measurements because I wrote them down on a post it.) However, a tenny note pad is perfect. It fits in your notion bag or in a pocket in your big knitting bag. Not only can you notate your row counts;
But you can also write down your knitting notes for upcoming projects or what have you...and of course the knitting bunnies get written down here as well.
I also use a 1/2 inch three ring binder for my knitting journal. I really explore my knitting bunnies there, as well as patterns I plan to do in the near future. I have a folder with those prongy things (what are they called again?) for current project patterns.
(Isn't my new pen a scream? I got the "syringe" pen from the Witte Museum gift shop today and it's SO neat! And it even writes in red ink. I got one for my combat medic brother as well.)
