A knitting insert for your Midori Traveler's Notebook

This one started life when Jaya Purswani explained that she was after a slightly different grid layout, one that would allow her to plan knitting stitches. It sounded like it might be easy to adapt my Seyes ruling template and this proved to be the case.



Anyway, it seems there are enough knitting devotees in the Midori community to justify making this generally available, so here it is.

You can choose the A4 paper Word version, the A4 paper PDF version. If you insist on being American and thus unable to enjoy the aesthetic perfection of A4 you can choose instead the Letter paper Word version or the Letter paper PDF version. If you download the Word version, you'll be able to edit the file and play about with the format and content.

Whichever version you choose it is ready to print straight away, without any need to use booklet format on your printer. Just print this straight to A4 or Letter as appropriate, with duplex set to flip on the short edge (I'd recommend you print just one or two pages first to make sure your printer deals with this correctly and make adjustments as necessary.)

Once you've printed out the pages, you can bind them into a booklet and cut to size. This video shows how.

A music insert for your Midori Traveler's Notebook

I was asked to make an insert for musical notation. There's not much to say about this really. Here it is:




You can choose the A4 paper Word version, the A4 paper PDF version. If you are American and thus have to work with oddly-sized paper then you can choose instead the Letter paper Word version or the Letter paper PDF version. If you download the Word version, you'll be able to edit the file and play about with the format and content.

Whichever version you choose it is ready to print straight away, without any need to use booklet format on your printer. Just print this straight to A4 or Letter as appropriate, with duplex set to flip on the short edge (I'd recommend you print just one or two pages first to make sure your printer deals with this correctly and make adjustments as necessary.)

Own your own Camel Traveller's Notebook

Midori's Fifth Anniversary Camel TN is no longer available - at any price, but there is still a lot of love for it. I have made my own special edition tribute to this iconic notebook.

Alternative stringing for your DIY Traveller's Notebook.

I've previously posted instructions on making your own Midori-style traveller's notebook. Here is the video in case you missed it.



In that video, I show you how to thread the elastic in the conventional arrangement, like this:


But it is also possible to punch the holes side-by-side rather than vertically top and bottom:


Which configuration you choose will depend on how packed you want your notebook to be. Using the instructions here and using the two side-by-side strings independently will enable you to easily insert six booklets.

The Daily Dashboard for the Midori Traveler's Notebook

I was asked if I could expand my daily journal booklet to give each day two pages and serve as an all-in-one daily log.

Here's what I came up with:



One month comprises a full booklet, and I'm offering ready-made sets initially for December. Based on feedback I'll look to finalise the design and make these a standard item for free download for 2015 and beyond.

You can choose the A4 paper version or the Letter paper version.

What you'll download is a PDF file. This is ready to print straight away, without any need to use booklet format on your printer. Just print this straight to A4 or Letter as appropriate, with duplex set to flip on the short edge (I'd recommend you print just one or two pages first to make sure your printer deals with this correctly and make adjustments as necessary.)

Once you've printed out the pages, you can bind them into a booklet and cut to size. This video shows how.

Introducing the 2015 Starter Pack - inserts for your Midori Traveler's Notebook

I have designed lots of inserts for the Midori and they are all free on this site to download and print for yourself. However, I am aware that some people for whatever reason can't or don't want to print and bind their own inserts. For a limited period, I'm offering readers the chance to buy a pack of my full size inserts ready-made, printed and bound in leatherboard covers.



Ideal for those planning ahead to the new year, or new notebook owners, the 2015 Starter Pack contains five inserts:

1 & 2: Week On Two Pages 2015 diary set



3: Bullet Journal


4: A-Z Plain Index

Read more about this insert here.

5: Plain notebook



To purchase a 2015 Starter Pack, please email me for payment instructions. The 2015 Starter Pack costs £22 and I will send it anywhere in the world without any additional shipping charge.

Of course, you remain welcome to download and print any or all of these inserts yourself for free.
