I received a copy of the Knit & Crochet Project Planner from Search Press and I am really excited about it! My friends would probably tell you that I am a very organised person, and I would say that is pretty much true. Except, that is, to when it comes to my knitting and crochet! I have eleventy billion projects on the go, project bags stuffed inside bigger bags and in boxes, and LOTS and LOTS of notebooks and pieces of paper. I sometimes have to spend ages trying to work out where I am in a pattern, and what exactly did I mean by those scribbled notes when I was trying out ideas for a new design. I am definitely not a monogamous knitter, preferring to dip in and out of projects at a whim, despite having proved to myself that I am so much more productive if I stick to one project at a time. The cover boldly claims: 'Everything you need to dream, plan and organize 12 projects!' I couldn't wait to delve into it!
The planner is divided into five sections: My Year, Project Planning, Tracking Logs, My Contacts and Reference. For me, the most useful sections are My Year, which allows you to list events and set tasks for each month, Project Planning which is absolutely brilliant and packed with plenty of space to plan, design if you wish, swatch and just generally keep all your project notes in one place, and the Reference section which has helpful reminders, stitch and chart abbreviations, needle sizes and everything you might possibly need to look up whilst working on a project. Each project is colour-coded, so it's easy to find a particular project from the page edges. I cannot wait to start using it to plan my projects for 2021.
It would make a brilliant present for any knitter or crocheter that you know, or why not gift it to yourself to set yourself up for an organised year of crafty goodness.

Wow, what a lovely give away; the front cover makes me want to knit a rainbow of colour. Actually, maybe I will be soon as I think that my first knit of 2021 might be the Gradient mesh Beany https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gradient-mesh-beanie by Claudia Fiocchetti. I am Spinthrift on Ravelry.
I think I definitely need some help in being organised with my projects! My first crochet project will be Lucy Attic 24's Moorland blanket - at least I hope it will as I've asked for the kit for Christmas. My first NEW knitting project (once I find a pattern) will be some yoga socks for my friend's birthday - I've got plenty of other knitting projects on the go which I'm sure will still be on my needles come the New Year!!

I've asked for an attic 24 colour pack for Xmas so I'm hoping that will be the first on my hook in 2021! Although I've plenty of wips that need finishing if I don't have yarn under the Xmas tree. Love the idea of this planner! I am @eat_sleep_crochet_repeat on Instagram.
What a lovely planner, I laughed when you talked about all your notebooks a new trying to remember what some of your notes referred to, all I can say is me too with bells on( just yesterday sat looking in a notebook and trying to work out which wip the row counts were for!
Completely forgot what project I will start in the New Year!!! Will be a crochet project- The Meadow blanket cal by Lucy at Attic 24 , I have all my yarn ready and waiting.
This looks like a great planner! I'm hoping to make a big snuggly cardigan in 2021. I'm @birchtree_knits on Instagram
Don't know yet depends on the weather,cold it's a blanket or mild it will be socks.
I would love this To keep track of the 12 objects I plan to make throughout 2021!
Fabulous giveaway, I am hoping that my first project for 2021 will be another Ranunculus Sweater x
What a brilliant book! I have little scraps of paper stashed around the house with details of my wips on and I can never find them when I need them! I think my first project with be the Crojo Capelet... Or maybe the Meadow Blanket :) Lynn @silverypaws
Cute planner. I plan to start a sweater for me in 2021. I have yarn for a few but have to decide what one I want to make. I also want to start an afghan, also have a few options but need to pick one.
I think my first project of the year will be to complete all the Christmas presents I've promised myself to make for for others.... I'm still waiting for sock yarn x2 to arrive. I think I need to get more organised. Joyo on ravelry
I can’t wait to knit my first pair of socks in the new year. You’ve inspired me. Now I’ve got the yarn and short circular needle, and a pattern and I’m raring to go. xx Lottiesnanu on instagram. xx
