In this episode of my chit chat and crochet podcast (ep 39), I’m setting up my 2026 crochet journal and talking you through how I like to document my crochet practice. This is all about keeping things simple, usable, and actually enjoyable—because if a journal feels like homework, it won’t last. I share the kind of pages and notes I find genuinely helpful, so I can look back and remember what I made, what yarn I used, and what I’d do differently next time. I also chat about why journaling can be such a lovely part of the craft, especially if you’re stash-busting, hopping between multiple WIPs, or trying to be more intentional with your making. It’s not about perfection or having the prettiest spread—it’s about creating a little record that supports your hobby and adds to that therapeutic joy of creating. If you’ve ever wanted to keep better track of your projects (or just fancy a cozy, crafty reset for the year ahead), this is a great place to start.
