The Crochet Chain

A craft journal was given to me once and to be honest I never used it.  In retrospect I wish I had used it and kept track of all the yarns I loved and hated.  It would have been a great reference to have.

What is great is that now you can journal on your online blog, on Ravelry or the old fashioned way in a handy dandy notebook (sorry I have a little one so sometimes I have to watch Blues Clues while having my morning tea).

I am now endeavouring to start one and I thought I would share the type of stuff I think is worth keeping track of:

• Title of the Project/Pattern and Where You Got the Idea From
• Type of Yarn Used and Amount
• Colour of the Yarn
• Crochet Hook Size Used
• Gauge/Tension of the Project
• Recommended Care Instructions for the Yarn
• Any Problems with the Pattern or Any Pattern Adjustments
• Notes on Anything You Liked (or Didn't Like)
• A Photo of the Finished Item
