Knitting Binder Printable

This Gal Knows: Knitting Binder Printable
Since I started knitting I’ve been creating this mess of a binder I called my “project binder”. It includes mostly patterns I liked once upon a time, a few finished projects with some actual decent notes and a random folder full of hot pink filler paper. I don't know, don't ask.

I quickly realized that wasn't going to cut it. So, I for some reason thought a random notebook with all my random brainstorming ideas and pattern notes would work out. That actually does work better, especially when I'm working on a project. I'm less likely to lose my notes if they're stuck in an actual notebook. But I still liked the idea of having my printed off pattern, random notes and my swatches all in one place. And that's how my binder printouts came to be.

There are 4 project pages, a page for additional yarn, a page for additional notes, and a project tracker page. There's really something for every project.

Each project page has space for you to record the following:
  • Project name
  • Patterns used
  • Size
  • Who the object was made for
  • Needle sizes and gauge (both unblocked and blocked)
There's a different project page with different yarn slots that can be used to fit your needs:
  • 2 yarn slots with a large section for notes
  • 4 yarn slots with a section for notes
  • 4 yarn slots with care instruction section and notes section
  • 8 yarn slots
Additional pages include:
  • 12 additional yarn slots (if eight isn't enough)
  • Notes page
  • Project tracker - with space to record project name and both the cast on and cast off date
The binder comes in 4 color options:
  • Blue
  • Green
  • Purple
  • Pink
Printing Tips
  • For best results print on high quality
  • Make sure actual size box is checked
  • (Optional) Print borderless, if your printer allows it

These printouts have really been a lifesaver. I've been knitting a lot more sweaters recently and have knit all of my sleeves the same way. If was still “organizing” projects the way I used to, I never would remember what I’d done the time before and probably would spend a ton of time figuring it out again.

Stay tuned for more posts about how I use these sheets, follow me on Instagram to make sure you don't miss a thing.
