This being my senior year of college, I was determined to take one class that was a) something I'd always wanted to learn about and b) just for fun. Because of my love of knitting, I was leaning toward an art class. I had taken film photography my sophomore year, and while I enjoyed it, I didn't think I was all that great at it. So I settled on bookbinding.
I've always had a fascination with beautiful books and writing implements, so it seemed like the ideal class for me. The results aren't always as perfect as I'd like them to be, but I've managed to make a few things that are really special, one of them being this sketchbook especially for knitting projects.

I used the coptic stitch technique (you can find a great tutorial here!) to bind graph paper between the two hard covers. I've already started filling it with pattern notes, and I can't wait to add some colorwork ideas, stitch patterns, and inspiring things.
