This one brought together a whole lot of materials I had around the workroom:

* postcard sent with a knitting swap for the cover
* leftover grey board from other bookbinding projects
* shiny white card for the rest of the covers from packaging
* the silk thread from an adopted yarn stash
* marbled paper I made a few months ago
* plain, graph and coloured paper

I painted the edges of the covers with gold paint. The marbled paper pages are on the outside of each signature, so they show at the spine. The binding is four-needle coptic stitch.

I made it without any particular purpose in mind, though I suppose the cover’s theme of knitting suggests a craft-related one. My scrawly and often crossed-out notes for knitting patterns seem too messy for this book, though. Maybe I should fill it with favourite knitting quotes and hints, and stick in labels for yarns I like.
