What a shame! I once lost a pattern and notes I had made and had to "reverse engineer" as you are doing -- not fun! Nowdays I make sure I put the papers into the bag/basket/whatever WITH THE YARN.

I have done the same thing more than once. The last time was the red and black sweater for my sister I told you about a few weeks ago. It was my own patter after measuring. I was not careful and lost the notebook with my data.

I still do not keep a good journal. But, I still preach to all the new knitters and crocheters how important it is and I do not listen to what I preach? Oh well

Well let me tell you the dumb thing I do...I always have more than one project going at once and I have to have a pattern in front of me. I just number the rows on a piece of paper and check each row off as I finish it. If I have to put it down or away for awhile I haven't a clue which paper goes with what at times and could just kick myself in the pants. But I'm learning to put the pattern's name at the top after wasting a lot of time trying to figure my mess out.

Linda When i weave i have a paper onthe loom and i just moove a pin from row to row, to know which row is to be woven next. With knitting , as i wrote i have copybooks , I calculated all in the train started knitting and the papers stayed in the bag ,,,,,,,,, brrr , thus possibly fel out somewhere ???? I don`t mind the recalculating , i do mind the lost time...In knitting i am less bound to see my written calculations, somehow after `repeating the pattern` , 2-3 times i get into the Rhitmus of the pattern , i know how the `repeat pattern` must `develop`. thus i don`t need my papers so much , But in `complicated patterns` i do use a row counter which hangs on my needles. And usualy in my copybook [unlike this time brrr] i write down every detail of info about the work , even if i liked it !!!! or had problems with the threads ... mirjam
