I got a real sweet deal today...

I scored a knitting journal [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Knit-Personal-Handbook-Nelsons/dp/1584793570"]"Knit"[/ame]... that fits in my purse, on sale for $6.60 from $22.99!

It has:
~ all sorts of pockets,
~ zippered pouch for swatches,
~ knitter's graph paper for designing or writing on,
~ a blank page every other page (I'm thinking for photos!),
~ a needle inventory page,
~ a place to list your favorite yarn sources,
~ a place to list favorite patterns and their details,
~ a calendar of knitting events (mostly focused on the US, but also some Canadian and British events),
~ common knitting abbreviations,
~ "emergency" rolled brim hat instructions and place to put info. on them,
~ estimating yarn requirement chart,
~ standard body measurements chart,
~ A write up on finding yarn around the world (what's produced where),
~ a needle gauge and ruler

AND...

The best part of all? At 6.5" x 7.5" it fits in my purse! Finally, a record I can take everywhere with me...especially traveling...when I'm prone to picking up new yarn.
