Sorry you forgot the change you wanted to make. I always do that. Or I'll also say I'll remember something that I of course will not (especially with knitting).<br /><br />I've been bad about commenting but your post on a sewing notebook really inspired me to finally start my own, since a random sticky note here and there was not suitable. For my last project I cut out a swatch of fabric, stapled it to the page and wrote up lots of notes. Thanks for the inspiration, I know it's going to keep me on track much better!Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368418516615371972noreply@blogger.com
