If I have to write EVERYTHING down....

...I might as well enjoy it! Can you believe this notebook!! A very nice representation of some of my favorite colors! The cool thing is that I stumbled across it while I was grocery shopping!

I smile every time I have to write something down so it doesn't slip from my mind in the next five seconds. It is so appealing that I actually like keeping notes. How's that for an incentive for developing a good habit?

Oh, the top right-hand flower is actually a shiny, raised decal!

Comment by Irene Soileau on July 11, 2010 at 2:28pm: Boy wish I had kept notes and patterns for way back in the early 60,s late 50s , they got tossed in that move and another move, but would dearly love to have some of them. Irene

Comment by cherylbwaters on June 6, 2010 at 6:42am: Well, they must only ship within the UK because on the shopping link it says for UK only. LOL. I have the same knitting journal. One of my kids gave it to me for my birthday one year.

Comment by cherubhmm on June 6, 2010 at 3:42am: I was chuckling to myself last night over JUST HOW MANY notebooks I have! Photo with this of just a selection! If I go to Paperchase cheryl I am in the store for HOURS (well, at least one!)!

Comment by cherylbwaters on June 5, 2010 at 5:25pm: Heather, I hopped on over for a look, what a great place for shopping for pens as well as other stationary supplies. ♥

Comment by cherubhmm on June 5, 2010 at 12:59pm: I am obsessive when it comes to notebooks! But not only do I buy the prettiest notebooks I can find, I also absolutely have to have a pen to match!!! We have a great store here in the Uk called Paperchase that can fulfil that obsession! I have notebooks for keeping notes on patterns/row counting,; ones for projects I would like to do; ones for projects that I have done (with photos!).

In fact, being that organized usually leads to more works-in-progress! LOL But who cares, at least we are knitting! ♥s

Comment by HavetoomuchYarn on June 1, 2010 at 2:03pm: Tara, I am also sad I have not kept more of my notes. I am getting better at keeping track of them now. I am really, really trying to put the name of the project on any scrap of paper that I am jotting on (usually a back of an envelope). I like Ravelry because I can put some of the notes right in with the project. I am also making sure I take pictures of my projects now. I have given so many great things away and wish I had kept notes and a picture (I don't regret the gift, just the notes and pictures). I am also using my scanner more to keep copies of patterns and notes. Handy for travelling.
♥L who has not, however, found any of these tricks helpful in reducing the number of works-in-progress...

Comment by Susan the Blue Lake Knitter on June 1, 2010 at 1:56pm: Tara, Luckily when I learned to knit, I had already discovered the value of keeping notes and information about what I am doing. Before I discovered the wealth of information on the internet, I kept each copy of the patterns with my notes on them in a white notebook. Now most of the information I keep in on my computer, usually with a name that tells me enough to find all the info I need. And as always, with age comes wisdom. ♥s
