feet at my fingertips

we often have stacks of extra knitting tarot cards -- cards that might have been too inky or too light in places -- lying around. ben learned to make an accordion-fold book insert in a book about japanese bookbinding, and, using two KT cards as front and back "covers", we made some little ledgers.

this one features the moon, who, in the KT, is looking at a mysterious pair of socks. so that the socks i make are not too mysterious, i am using this little book to write down the measurements of people for whom i might knit socks. i can keep all the measurements on hand, as well as preferences for cotton versus wool, how tight a fit is preferred, how tall a sock, stripes or not, stuff like that. this way, i have all the info -- and nobody is clued into getting a pair of socks as a gift by me asking them their measurements and preferences!
