[...] Have you heard of doane paper? I first heard about it through notmartha - and today I started doodling on my new favorite paper. Print some out for yourself - or purchase a pad of paper. Whatever you do, make creating a habit. (a theme derived from The Sound of Paper - a book I am thoroughly enjoying…) Links [...]

Seriously? Are you my twin? I love graph paper and my favorite pen is the Uni-ball Vision Exact... hard to find in stores, absolutely worth the shipping costs. I'm buying some of this paper stat.

I tell you what, in a digital world I still heart paper. This may replace the Rhodia pads that I've been running through like water. Mmmm.

The Doane people responded to my e-mail question and let me know that they plan to add 5x7 pads to their products around May. Woo-hoo!

Rose - Thanks, I do take this into account when I'm sketching. The grid makes sense to me just fine when I keep this in mind.

regular square graph paper isn't the greatest for knitting. It's better than nothing, but a knit stitch is generally shorter than it is wide, so what you graph on the paper isn't how it comes off your needles. I think you can buy knitter graph paper or even find places on the internet to print your own for free.

Sold! I ordered a 3-pack last night. I work in an online advertising department, so I use grid paper a lot for sketching out specs and working out coding issues.

You know, if you REALLY wanted you, you could get those spiral bound at an office supply store or Kinko's or something....

That paper is amazing, and would be perfect for my japanese class. Sadly they don't ship overseas yet so I'll just have to long for it a while longer.

Awesome! I sent an email asking them when/if Spiral is available - important for me.

I also asked them how stiff the backer board on the notebook was (can you write on the paper in mid-air or does it need to be on a surface) and if they customize the covers on big orders.

We'll see what they respond with!

Well, I think I am in LOVE. I used Moleskin now for everything work related (notes, voice mail, ideas), but I love this grid/lined mesh. I might have to try - the price is certainly right. Here's my must-have pen. [edited by Megan to shorten a link]
