I’m Givin’ A Little…

Hand bound knitting journal for Tina N.

I put my money and my products where my mouth is and joinded in on the Give A Little Project that Margene and Susan put together. They drew a name for the hand bound knitting journal that I donated towards the cause last week, but it was after my normal mail day. So, this afternoon the above journal will be winging it’s way to Tina N. It doesn’t appear that she has a blog so I hope she likes green and knits socks! :-)

The inside has 10 pockets for hold ball bands and little notes jotted on napkins at the lcal pub and pages of quadrille paper for drawing sketches of garments and items. There is also a final section in the book that contains reference information such as yardage estimates for common knit items like sweaters, socks, hats etc. and common abbreviations found in patterns and a couple tables for keeping track of needles and pattern books. There is an elastic strap to hold the book closed once you’ve tacked in swatches or yarn samples and ball bands etc. but it also works as a great book mark as well. There is a fun textured green/gold end papers that tie in with the handpainted paper at the spine of the covers.

There will be another little goodie in there to make up for having to wait almost a week for it to get in the mail, Tina! Thanks so much for giving a little!
