Fancy New Notebook

Ooooo!  My new notebook is perfect for knitting notes!  As you can see in my knit kit I like to mark off knitting rows on graph paper.  The paper in my new notebook is even better than graph paper!

See?  It's graph dots!  I can use it just like graph paper without all the lines interfering with my notes.

It's a Fabriano EcoQua notebook.  Made in Italy.  The plum colored cover is gorgeous, too.  I bought it at an independant bookstore in L.A. when I was there in May.

The paper is pale ivory and the dots are a subtle grey.  Very easy on the eyes.  The paper is eco-friendly and acid free, too.

The pages are bound as a glued pad, so it's easy and clean to remove just one page at a time.  The cover can be folded all the way to the back to make the pad easy to use while the sheets are in the notebook.  The back of the notebook is a medium-rigid piece of card stock.

I'm going to want to use this notebook for EVERYTHING.

Beautiful paper! They have the same kind of dotted papers in Muji notebooks, and oh joy, Muji's supposed to open their first west coast shop in SF soon! :)

What a beautiful notebook. I love stationery! I have far too many unused notebooks, so I've told myself I can't buy anymore until I start using them!

I love your notebook! If/when you run out of pages, maybe you can find something similar at www.PrintablePapers.net I've downloaded several of their free dotted and graph papers that I print on regular printer paper on my laser printer. I can put a page in a plastic sleeve and write on the sleeve with a Sharpie marker, use the sleeve to protect pages I've marked on directly, and be able to put them into a regular 3-ring binder. The site above has other sizes of papers, so you aren't locked in on a single letter-sized page. If your notebook is from Italy, I imagine that the pages are European sized, so you would want something that could adapt to that lovely purple cover.
