The Creative Folk website refers to a knitting journal as “a great place to keep a running log of everything you made.” What this means is that the knitting journey is catalogued by the knitter. Everything is written down: a blueprint for a certain pattern or piece, the steps taken to complete it, and the mistakes made. They can look back, teach themselves, teach others, and start again. Your favorite knitter may not let you see their knitting journal, but chances are they’ve got one tucked away in a special place (source).
