Reddit reviews Miquelrius Soft Bound Medium Journal, 300 Sheets/600 Graph Pages, Black

I got it on Amazon, its this:
Miquelrius Soft Bound Medium Journal, 300 Sheets/600 Graph Pages, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019PVSRBI/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_2YzCybR2EZHPM

It's also available at Barns and Nobles for cheaper, but since I live far away from one the cost was the same either way.

The binding can come loose if you use it heavily, I just tossed in elmers glue into the bit and let it dry. Haven't had another issue yet. Hope this helps!

I haven’t found any hardcover books that thick but I did find this softbound one by Miquel Rius

Comes in black, red, blue flexible covers.

Large as in size of paper?

• Buy an A4 dotted notebook on Amazon. I'd recommend Scribbles That Matter, because I love their products, but Leuchtturm1917 has A4 too, as does Dingbats and Minimalism Art. If you can investigate and find out what brand she uses, just go a size up. I haven't seen bigger than A4. (B5 is between A4 and A5, and she probably uses an A5 notebook, because that's the official size).
  
  Large in terms of number of pages? That's more difficult.
  
  
• I though the Code and Quill Monolith was 300 pages, but I see that either I misremembered or they downsized to 216.
  
• A colleague uses Miquelrius (300 pages) but the paper quality wouldn't work for someone who uses watercolor in their journal.
  
• Amazon is suggesting a couple unrated notebooks to me, when I search. You may want to order ahead of time, and touch the paper and see if will work. Buy/return kinda thing?
  
• Consider looking into a laboratory notebook. They work pretty well as bujos -- hardbound, hard to extract pages, usually numbered, and lots of pages.
  
• Lots of people do a Travelers' Notebook instead of going up to larger number of pages. They can just use up inserts and add more.

I love notebooks, so forewarning - information overload incoming!

They're not knitting themed, but I like the Moleskine brand squared notebooks for my project books. The hardcover 5" x 8.25" size in particular. I get them on Amazon. Depending on which shipping method you choose, they're about $15-$16. I love that they have a pocket in the back.

I also got this one from Miquelrius because I wanted one with a shitton of pages. It's okay, but the soft cover is really thin and has curled a lot from regular humidity, so it's not very protective, and thus it lives at home on my desk rather than in a project bag.

One that I have which seems a bit gimmicky, but I actually really like is the Fashionary.
I have the Women's Sketchbook,
A4 size. It's not something I could make my sole project book, as it's just forms to help you sketch rather than grid lined, so disregard this suggestion if you're not interested in clothing design. It has some helpful charts on measuring garments and other fashion-related info, though.

I organize my notebooks a lot like the project section in Ravelry - I give them a name, list yarn and needle info, make note if I'm referencing a particular book for techniques/stitches, etc. Next page or two will be any charts, followed by a bullet point, diary-style section for noting anything I feel I'll want to remember. I have a steel pencil case I keep pencils, pens, paper and binder clips, and other odds-and-ends in that goes wherever my notebook does.

There's this:

It's not precisely A5, but the dimensions are very close.
