These notebooks are great for jotting down ideas, knitting patterns, or just doodling. To use, simply open the notebook and start writing on the blank pages. As the paper is uncoated, use pens or pencils that won't bleed through. When it comes to maintenance, keep the notebook away from moisture to prevent the paper from warping. Store it flat or upright in a cool, dry place. And don't forget, it's small enough to carry around in your project bag, so you can take it with you wherever you go.
