I found this super interesting and informative. I’ve never heard of “knitters grid paper”for making patterns. But what I enjoy is a dot grid book, that way most of my patterns are all in the same place and I can look up one I want to do, plus if I’ve used the design I may write some notes in the opposing page. Thanks for this little insight, ClaudiaSJI
