I've been looking everywhere for this book! I got one a couple of years ago and filled it up with all the scarves I've made. It was the perfect place to keep labels, a photo of the garment & swatches of yarn used. It is very impressive when filled in! I'm not usually the worlds most organized person, but this journal makes it easy. People are always asking me where I got it but I hadn't found it available since and now this is a great savings. Get this book, you'll LOVE IT!!

After examining several of the knitting journals which are currently available, I chose Char Loving's "Knitting Journal" as a gift to myself. Many of my knitting projects are for gifts for others in my family, and I wanted one place to record the types of yarn, gauge, washing instructions, and most importantly, pictures (!) of the finished item, before they are given away. The pages of this journal are made of very high quality paper, making a nice summary of various projects. As one other reviewer noted, the book is of such high quality that it can be used as a "brag book" to show your friends your completed projects.

The book itself has fourteen high-quality double-sided pages, with the design allowing one project for each side of the page. Being able to record details of 28 finished projects should last most knitters and crocheters for quite some time. There is a space to record your star date and completion date, pattern name and source, needle size and gauge, and yarn type, including fiber content and quantity. For any knitter who has completed more than a project or two, this book is a fantastic place to record your knitting milestones.

The only reason that I gave this book four stars instead of five is that I wish there were more photo pages. The book provides only one photo per project page, which is not enough for me.

As an experienced knitter, I have dozens of projects scattered here and there. At last, the journal enables me to record each and every project for my own satisfaction and memory and to show others what I've done! The journal's paper is heavyweight and sturdy, with plenty of room for recording the dates, yarn info., needle size(s), pattern info. and comments for each project. There's even room for a yarn swatch or wrapper plus slitted corners to insert a photograph of your work! I would highly recommend this journal to any knitter. (Those who keep extensive notes on alterations to patterns, etc. may want to keep a separate journal for that purpose, since the comment portion is only 3 lines. However, I'd still recommend this journal for a special porfolio of your work!)

What a wonderful book! The book has everything I need to organize my knitting information and pictures. I got mine for a Christmas present and it was one of the best gifts a knitter can receive. I'm looking to get another next Christmas. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to keep a great record of all knitting projects. Thanks, Char Loving, for creating this book!
