Once upon a time there was a knitter who found herself in the terrible position where she had to frog a very detailed sweater knit completely in reverse stockinette stictch with a traveling cable just 4 inches from finishing the body. Then she picked up an old project to make sure that she had something to knit.  When she did this, she realized that she had started said project before the days of a Ravelry project page, and she had no idea where she was in the project.  So, you can guess what she had to do, FROG THAT TOO!

After learning of the terrible fate of this poor knitter, the team at Erin.Lane decided that there had to be a way to keep up with works in progress and a way to show off finished objects at your local yarn store without having to worry about missing deadlines to get gifts mailed or sweaters blocked.  Thus, we designed the Project Portfolio.

The Project Portfolio is a colorful, compact, and convenient way to keep track of projects that are in progress or are already finished.  The Project Portfolio is made in custom sections from high quality colored card stock.  Each section is 6 pages, 1 divider made of a solid colored card stock, and 5 project pages with project information on one side and an hand cut and folded color coordinated pocket on the other.  This pocket is perfect for holding pictures of your finished project (and its recipient) along with ball bands, so you never have to wonder about how to wash a hand knit again!

Each divider is hand stamped and customized to your specific needs.  The laminated divider has an inspriational quote and your choice of divider word or phrase.  You can divide your projects any way you want, by fiber content, by project type, by gauge, by people you knit for on a regular basis.  The possiblities are endless.  You tell us what you want on the divider from sweater, to socks, to blankets, to baby, to super-cali-fagilistic-expiali-dotious.  Whatever your need for the portfolio is what we will strive to provide.

The dividers and pages fit neatly into a 9 X 7 inch three ring binder.  The project pages are printed on 110 pound bond making the pages heavy and durable.  Something that will last even if you do lend it to a friend to show off all of your finished work!  Also, the project portfolio is a wonderful way to help a loved one stay organized, but it is also a fabulous heirloom.  How much would you love to have a hand written page about a project your grandmother or aunt knit years ago.  This knitting record would not only allow you to flaunt your crafting prowess, but also allow generations to come to see how much love and care went into creating gifts and heirlooms that they may have received themselves.  What a legacy.

The best part of the Project Portfolio is that you can simply buy it in sections.  You do not have to buy an entire notebook worth of pages and dividers if you only need two sections, just get two sections.

Also, we know some of you out there are speedy little crafters, or have a huge back log of projects to catch up on cataloguing.  We have thought of that too.  Just order page refills.  You don’t need to order the divider again.  Just specify the color, and we will get on it.

After all, frogging is a great way to save cash, but a bad way to recover knitting moral.  Organize and record more, frog less; let the Project Portfolio help.
