Knitting chart paper- loose leaf?

#1

Hello
Just wondering if there is a supplier of knitting chart paper (ratio 4:5) which comes as flat loose leaf sheets rather than a note nook where they are bound at the edge?
Or a pad which has easy rip out pages, glued or perforated at the binding to make it easier to pull pages out? Like the “refill pads” for lined paper which are easy to separate, but in knitters chart graph.

I have one of the note books but to get pages out I have to cut them which is awkward and messy.

I know I can print some to get loose leaf but would prefer to buy a pack or pad/book.

Thanks

I’ve got some paperback knitting graph books before on Amazon (about A4 size, I’m not sure if they do other ratios but mine were 4:5). I can’t remember how easy it was to remove pages, as I haven’t used mine for ages, but if I remember correctly, they’re glued along the spine so don’t think it was difficult.

Thanks shintonga
I have one of those but the binding is really firm and permanent (pretty much to make sure it doesn’t fall apart when in use) rather than easy to remove. Tearing or cutting pages out is kind of like pulling pages out of a regular book, a bit messy, leaves bits behind and tears the paper. I’m cutting them then trimming the mess off. Just hoped for a more suitable type.

I’ll keep an eye out, there must be something out there!

Can you cut them out using something like a razor blade or Xacto knife?

Or you could take it to a place that does binding, like an office supply store, and ask them to cut the spine off? They do it all the time to convert bound items to spiral bindings. In the US, you can get this done at Office Depot or FedEx/Kinko’s.

That’s a great idea. I’m not sure we still have a place like that in my town (I remember places like this though) and my mobility doesn’t let me out much.

Kinko’s (aka FedEx office) here does that. I make my own on Excel. If you have Excel, I can send it to you. If not and you have a printer, I could send it to you in PDF.

That’s a really kind offer, thank you.
I do have some I can print at home which I think is going o be the best option for now but I’ll keep looking for some to buy. Mainly it’s just that when I want it I want a lot and generally it’s more economical to buy a mass produced pad or loose leaf than it is to print it off.
I find I’m charting full sweaters and keep doing it in bits and pieces rather than one cohesive chart. It’s kind of OK that way but would just be easier with the right resources and stationary.

I just found a lot on Amazon but they all look to be notebooks.

Yeah, all notebooks as far as I have found. If you put in loose leaf it comes up with squared graph paper rather than knitting paper.

I use blank loose leaf binder refill paper and print whatever size graphs I want using templates I have downloaded on my computer. I can also create and save a graph on my computer. Happy Graphing
