Charts, true-size gauges and planning sheets — print them, pin them up, keep them by the chair where a screen isn't welcome.
Before you print
One small thing that matters
Several of these are printed at true size, so a needle or bead laid on the paper matches the picture exactly.
When your print dialog opens, set the scale to 100% or "Actual Size" — never "Fit to page" or "Shrink to fit", which quietly resizes everything. Each true-size sheet includes a 50 mm check line and a bank-card outline so you can confirm it came out right before relying on it.

The Craft Room Cheat Sheet
Every number from the site on a single page — needle sizes, yarn weights, bead counts, hat sizes, Aida counts, candle quantities, quilt binding and ribbon yardage. The one to pin inside the cupboard door.
Planning sheets we made for ourselves, free with your email.
Members' printables
Three planning sheets, free with your email
A project planner for everything you'll wish you'd written down, a gauge and swatch record so you never swatch the same yarn twice, and a stash inventory that turns your leftovers into a shopping list you can trust. Pop your email in and they unlock straight away.
One friendly note now and then when a new tool or printable is ready. Never shared with anyone, and one click to unsubscribe. How we look after your details.
Project Planner
One page per project: pattern, yarn, dye lot, needle, gauge, the changes you made and the notes for next time. The sheet that turns "I think it was a 4 mm" into a fact.
Sixteen rows to log every swatch — yarn, needle, stitches, rows, washed or not, and how the fabric felt. Keep it with the swatches and never repeat the exercise.
These are yours to print as often as you like — for yourself, for your craft group, or for a class you teach. We only ask that you don't sell them or pass them off as your own. If a friend would find them useful, do send them our way rather than the file.
More are on the way, and we're always glad to hear which would help most. Everything here started with someone asking.
