Welcome to this very special, re-worked edition of the Archive Loop. Journal Knitting is a concept in which a knitted journal is made that tracks a specific focus over a set period of time. I have joined forces with the Alzheimer’s Association to bring you a new version of this project that will help you learn ways to promote and develop healthy brain habits in your own life. After making a provisional cast-on and a short foundation section, you will knit one round a day over the course of a year. The color you use each day will be determined by the answer to a simple focus question. The photos in this pattern show the loop in progress. Check out the Archive Loop pattern to see the completed project.
