A Crochet Journal: A Journal for Crochet Projects

Product Information

I added a clear zipper pouch to my crochet project journal. I was always looking for a pair of scissors, stitch markers, or a tapestry needle. This pouch is one handy place for all those gadgets. If you’re traveling the country or snuggled into your spot watching Netflix they’ll always be by your side. Apart from mentioning the source of the pattern, also take note of whether the pattern includes pictures or videos to help with making the amigurumi.

Arguably everyone's least favourite part but oddly enough, enforcing this really allows you to move from one project onto the next one swiftly instead of idling in between your WIPs.

Someone who is tech-savvy and always has an internet connection. The Crochet Project Planner That Worked For Me A Crochet Project Journal

I’ve been trying to get more organized, which is hard because I’m a messy creative person. Maybe you could tell?? I designed this printable crochet planner to help me get organized once and for all and I thought you might like to have a copy of your very own! Taking all the above into consideration, then ponder on the purpose of the amigurumi, whether it is ornamental, decorational for the home, playing, snuggling or even fashion. These will affect the final intended project appearance and size. Timelines I keep a simple lined notebook that is large enough to write in daily but small enough to carry in a purse. Other options include a blank journal, loose-leaf paper in a binder, and typewritten files on a computer. If you use a physical journal, you can embellish the cover with photographs or crochet. It’s your journal; do what you like to make it special. Do a general outline or drawing, then think about the shapes involved in making the amigurumi, consider the method of assembly of parts and make a deliberate conclusion on the difficulty level you want to set for your amigurumi. If the project is for a gift or a charity, include the name of its recipient in your crochet journal. Write about what that person or charity means to you. Also, if you’re giving the project away, take a picture first and tape it in your journal.

How to print and use your crochet journal

You can have multiple notebooks in one leather case. I have 1 for reference materials and yarn inventory and 1 for current projects. After thinking through the occasion you are making this for, which could either be seasonal (think Christmas or Halloween) or celebration (think birthday or anniversary), then remember specifically who you are gifting this amigurumi to, because it would affect the rest of the making process. Of course if you are making to sell, then also think about the quality you want to put across. Another good use is that it also reminds you of deadlines, specific goals you set for yourself and targets. This can be pretty crucial if you are rushing out projects for seasonal gifts or even for magazine submissions. Designing your own amigurumi is more complicated than the previous step. But in our crochet planner or journal, we can break it down so that it does not stay cluttered in our brain. I had a place for all the reference material I could dream of. Maybe too much 😉 Printable size charts were so easy to add to the binder.
