In this episode, Anne and Steph sit down to talk about one of the most overlooked tools in knitting – the humble journal. They swap stories about their very different journaling styles: Anne with her bound, artful notebooks full of doodles and design sketches, and Steph with her graph paper, binders, and careful tabs.
Together, they explore how journaling helps knitters remember details that the brain never will – yarn labels, dye lots, needle sizes, stitch counts, gauge before and after washing, and those little adjustments that make a garment truly yours. Along the way, they share practical tips (like writing in full sentences so your notes make sense years later) and personal reflections on why these records matter.
But it’s not just about efficiency – knitting journals can become creative outlets, cultural records, and companions on your knitting journey. Whether you’re tracking your progress, planning a design, or simply capturing the joy of a finished sweater, a knitting journal can turn fleeting stitches into lasting memories.
