Swatchboard
Most of my day is spent in a room that serves as office, craft room, storage, playground, communication center, kitty bedroom, and the list

goes on. On the wall to my right is a large linen board that for many years displayed photos, postcards, Japanese stickers, and the occasional odd thing.
Last night I took down most of the items on display and converted two thirds of the board into a design prop, more precisely a swatchboard. We’ll see how it evolves over the next few days. Some of the old photo prints from trips to Italy with Ben are still up: a view of the roof tops in Faenza, a garden in Venice, Ponte Vecchio in Florence, the hills around Chiusi (Siena), the Via degli Asini (donkeys’ road) in Brisighella… One photo I remember with particular fondness is the view of a bank in Faenza with a sign that reads “Rolo Banca 1473”. This was Ben’s first trip to Italy and he asked me what the “1473” next to the bank name meant, since it couldn’t be the street number. When I told him it was probably the year the bank was established, his comment was “your banks are older than my country”. As it turns out, I am not sure that particular bank was established in 1473 but Il Monte dei Paschi di Siena was indeed established in 1472 and is the oldest surviving bank in the world, so it is entirely possible. But I digress. Seeing all my swatches up on the wall is going to help me stay focused on the project at hand — something I am having a hard time doing recently.

to do is keep better notes about my knitting. If you have any suggestions on how to achieve that, fire away. My notebook is a mess.

What a pretty board! I’d love to look at that all day (or very nearly so)!
RE: staying organized…that’s tough. I’m a bit of a fresh paper addict, so my notes are in a bunch of different notebooks. Just recently I got a smaller B5 paper binder at Kinokuniya and a little bit of lined and gridded papers to fill it. I figured this way it would fit in all of my purses—even the smallest one. Then I wouldn’t be on the huntdown for new notebooks all the time since I could just add paper to it as needed. Only problem is, it’s Japanese paper and rather expensive (for me) so I am uptight about running out and having to buy more…so have been using scratch paper instead. *chuckle*
I also don’t recommend cleaning. I have all my books in one stack and pattern notes another. The stacks are neat, they are just always sitting on my living room coffeetable because I don’t have anywhere else to put them. Every time I clean/”organize” it takes forever to find where I put it all. :P

I have a looseleaf notebook divided into sections–socks, lace, spinning, dyeing, techniques, patterns, and so on. It works for me, but then, I can usually read my own handwriting :)

Love the swatch board :D
I tend to scribble knitting etc. thoughts on odd bits of paper as I go about my day, so every project/design has an envelope for those that is marked with a number that corresponds to a Field Notes graph paper memo book (I get through a couple a month). They all live in a big box with each years worth held together by a rubber band. I’m sure I could be better organised but I love the serendipity of finding thing I’d forgotten when I’m looking for something else … it often sparks new ideas.

I don’t have any tips for organizing notes – I’m lucky to be organized by nature, most of my notes on on my computer. I love the idea of a swatch board, though! Must swatch, first…
