Here’s a very quick look at how I use the Knitter’s Life printable notebook. Each project in my notebook starts out with a project page from the printable. I cut it down, and punch holes in it so I can add it to a standard notebook. That’s followed by any charts I might have used. I punch holes in those, too so they can be bound together in the spiral. Then, on the actual notebook pages, I have all my hand written notes.

Are you looking for an alternative way to track your knitting projects? I made this 11 page, printable knitting planner/bullet journal a few years ago. It’s a great way to keep organized either physically in a notebook or digitally in an app like GoodNotes. For a limited time (until August 3) it’ll be available for free on Gumroad. Regular price is $5. If you are able to support me financially, Gumroad has a “pay a fair price” feature and you can choose to pay full price.

Find the printable here.

Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what yarn are you using in this post: thisgalknows(.)tumblr(.)com/post/141925418111 I may have an extreme need for some golden goodnes....

Sorry if this is an incredibly old ask. I just got one notification but have three messages??

The yarn I used in that post is Malbrigo Worsted in the Sunset colorway.

My first cast on with my newly dyed yarn and the next book I’m going to read.

I’ve been experimenting with some yarn dyeing and I’m totally obsessed. Now all I have to do is wait on my yarn order to come in so I can dye some more.

Attention knitblr!

I did a weird thing called emailing a stranger, and long story short we’re looking at a potential alternative to etsy: Indiewool. I’ll reblog a link to the prototype so tumblr won’t eat it.

If you or someone you know sells yarn or fiber crafted items on etsy and are thinking of switching because of the bs fees, get in contact! We need people to help figure out the logistics, and you could help shape how the site is run for vendors.

We also need:

Someone to help with the legal stuff of online selling

Someone to write out all the junk that the site will need (mission statement, shipping standards, etc.)

A social media manager

Advertisement and marketing (which I’m lowkey doing with this post I guess)

Edit: We now have a discord! Link in the notes so tumblr doesn’t nerf me.

If you are a queer and/or POC fiber artist who spins/dyes their own yarn and have it for sale, would you link me to your shop please?
