I quickly realized that wasn't going to cut it. So, I for some reason thought a random notebook with all my random brainstorming ideas and pattern notes would work out. That actually does work better, especially when I'm working on a project. I'm less likely to lose my notes if they're stuck in an actual notebook. But I still liked the idea of having my printed off pattern, random notes and my swatches all in one place. And that's how my binder printouts came to be.
There are 4 project pages, a page for additional yarn, a page for additional notes, and a project tracker page. There's really something for every project.
Each project page has space for you to record the following:
- Project name
- Patterns used
- Size
- Who the object was made for
- Needle sizes and gauge (both unblocked and blocked)
- 2 yarn slots with a large section for notes
- 4 yarn slots with a section for notes
- 4 yarn slots with care instruction section and notes section
- 8 yarn slots
- 12 additional yarn slots (if eight isn't enough)
- Notes page
- Project tracker - with space to record project name and both the cast on and cast off date
Printing Tips
- For best results print on high quality
- Make sure actual size box is checked
- (Optional) Print borderless, if your printer allows it
These printouts have really been a lifesaver. I've been knitting a lot more sweaters recently and have knit all of my sleeves the same way. If was still “organizing” projects the way I used to, I never would remember what I’d done the time before and probably would spend a ton of time figuring it out again.
Stay tuned for more posts about how I use these sheets, follow me on Instagram to make sure you don't miss a thing.
