Pen & Paper Knitting Journals

[feminine_earth]

Hey Guys!

So, I've decided that I want to make a pen & paper knitting journal to store away the memories (and swatches!) that I've been gathering since starting my knitting journey.

But...I don't really want to buy a book journal and just write in it...I want to make a knitting journal. A BIG knitting journal. I want fabric covers and ribbon-bound recycled pages. I want to fill it with strands of hand-dyed yarn of all types and fibers. I want to develop all these pictures of my knitting that I've been taking, and then sew the pictures on the pages with multi-colored thread. I want my knitting journal to become an heirloom.

And I need some MAJOR help getting started.

So! For all of you craft-obsessed knitters out there who keep a pen & paper knitting journal, here's your chance to SHOW THEM OFF! Post pictures, swap ideas, share links of your favorite How To's. Are your journals handmade? Purchased at a bookstore and then decorated? Do you keep track of your struggles and thoughts about knitting, or simply fill your journal with bits and pieces of everyday knitting-life? I'm very interested in seeing and hearing all about your personal knitting journals. So please share share share!
