Probably the most basic method of keeping track of project notes and patterns is to have a basic knitting journal.

Starting this kind of journal is inexpensive. It's very portable, easy to use, and can contain as much or as little information as you need. Having more than 2 or 3 projects on the go at once can cause all sorts of confusion as to what size needles you were using, where you found the pattern or where you bought the yarn from - well not any more! Log all of the crucial info regarding your pattern/yarn/haberdashery etc along with any notes you like to make as you work through a project.

This knitting notebook contains:

*60 pages with 4:5 ratio knitting paper

*60 pages with 2:3 ratio knitting paper

*16 half wide-ruled half blank pages for writing notes or sketching your projects.
