The Knitter’s Planner Was Made with Knitters in Mind

October 7, 2019 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

A lot of knitters I know like paper planners, calendars and journals rather than digital. I think that’s because paper products give us another way to be a little crafty (especially if you’re into bullet journaling) and somehow seeing everything on paper in front of you makes you feel more organized.

A paper planner can also make it easier to keep your knitting life organized, especially when you pick one that’s made with a knitter in mind. The Knitter’s Planner is just such a tool.

The Knitter’s Planner was envisioned by Stephanie Palmer, creator of the Quilter’s Planner, and was designed in collaboration with Kara Gott Warner, veteran craft publishing editor, designer and business coach.

“We realized there was nothing out there offering a customized planning system for knitters to organize their daily life and projects in one convenient place,” she said. “The 7” x 9” planner size is so practical, making it a no-brainer to pop it in your knitting bag so it’s always there just when you need it.”

The planner gives plenty of options for customization, including Sunday or Monday week starts, four different layouts for calendar pages, including dotted and graph paper pages for designs or bullet journaling.

It also includes project planning pages, a knitting reference section, places for stash and needle inventory and more.

If you want to check the planner out for yourself, the presale is going on now, which will get you 10 percent off the regular purchase price. There are multiple cover options as well, or you can opt to just get the pages if you have a planner cover you love.

What do you think about this idea? Would you buy a planner made with knitters in mind?

Use Your Sock Yarn Scraps to Knit a Colorful Scarf

Using your yarn stash is important to me throughout the year, but as I start to feel the end of the year coming on I get more excited about using things I already have in the house. Maybe that’s because I don’t want to go to a store in the thick of holiday shopping times, or I like the idea of having a little space in my stash when the new year rolls around.

It’s super satisfying to use up all the little odd balls you’ve made over the year (or years), and I have several stash busting blankets I work on when it’s cold and will maybe finish someday.

If you’d like to start a stash busting project that’s perfect for using up odd balls, check out the Soukish pattern from Neisha Abdulla. This pattern is made for fingering weight/sock yarn, and it’s worked in a tube with allover color work.

This is great for a couple of reasons. You don’t really have to weave in your ends when you can hide them in a tube (this is one time you might even get by just tying a knot when you change colors!) and you can change colors whenever you run out of yarn and it will look good.

Of course the pattern is made with blocks where the designer changed colors, but you can change yours more or less often as you need to make it work for your stash. You can use blank charts to design your own color combinations, or even your own stitch patterns if you like. You can also adjust the length of the scarf as needed or turn it into a cowl based on the amount of yarn you have.

This project looks like a lot of fun and would be a great thing to have on hand to stitch up and then to wear during the cold, gloomy months.

You can get a copy of the pattern on Ravelry.
