So, you wish you could live at the bookstore/stationary place, too? Notebooks are my other-other obsession. Moleskine can inherit all my money, if there's any left after my donation to Koigu.dwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282585633140494515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523066828109774597.post-37993143117190003512011-04-11T14:23:56.320-03:002011-04-11T14:23:56.320-03:00Great, another notebook I can purchase! Picking th...Great, another notebook I can purchase! Picking the "perfect" notebook is a frequent, evening-filling exercise at my local bookstore. I love keeping track of stuff and thus have a mini-library of notebooks. I'm actually a bit confused right now why I don't have a knitting notebook. There's Ravelry, and then there's a wild collection of loose papers that need sorting. Perhaps it's time to get organized.Wollguthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09194636886667023016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523066828109774597.post-39798674030722274902011-04-07T08:52:29.033-03:002011-04-07T08:52:29.033-03:00Oh - meant to clarify - "I don't keep bal...Oh - meant to clarify - "I don't keep ball bands...".

I did actually make a binder for storing patterns I have yet to make. I need a notebook for works in progress though for sure! And I think I just need to staple the pattern in. I always seem to lose it. Case in point, I need to rebuy the pattern for the Juliet sweater so I can finish the last few repeats of lace. It's nowhere to be found, including in my email and computer files. Totally puzzling.

Don't keep ball bands or swatches, at least after project is done and recorded. I rely on Ravelry to keep track of what yarn and needles I used for most of my stuff, but have a BIG sketchbook for design related notes. And another at work which I sometimes rip out of and combine into the master one at home. <br /><br />I love your monster sketches! And I really should get some grid notebooks. Great idea!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02120081588783719005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523066828109774597.post-40793615998913732702011-04-06T12:52:24.542-03:002011-04-06T12:52:24.542-03:00HA!

I hadn't thought of that.<br /><br />I wouldn't be so sure about the "system other than a Pile of Stuff". Notice how I didn't show you photos of my entire craft space? Ahem. The Pile. She is big. Perhaps it is time for me to also implement the 3-ring binder approach for all those leftover bits and bobs...dwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282585633140494515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523066828109774597.post-48729588155078482392011-04-06T10:28:09.916-03:002011-04-06T10:28:09.916-03:00I currently use a three-ring binder that holds my ...I currently use a three-ring binder that holds my patterns, with a pocket folder inside for my yarn tags. Most of my notes are on the patterns themselves, but you have to understand that I have yet to knit something like a sweater that would require more than a few scribbles. I believe that a notebook is in order - and if my husband complains about a $5 purchase - well, he hasn't been paying attention to the cost of my Malabrigo addiction.<br /><br />Pretty sure I have no tips for you - I can file like nobody's business, but it looks like you are equally blessed in the need to have a system other than Pile of Stuff.Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620468867296670135noreply@blogger.com
