Question of the Week:
Knitting notebooks - do you have one? If you do, what kind of notebook do you use? I like to have a small notebook around at all times for making quick notes or sketching out a pattern, but I don't bother to keep the insides of that notebook very pretty. I also use the notes app on my phone to jot down knitting reminders.
