Tablet/Journal Pocket
I love keeping a traditional paper notebook with me to take notes, sketch, and clip in photos and tickets as I travel. You might like to do these things, too, but if you are more into technology, you could knit this pocket to hold your e-reader or tablet. Make it your own! This is a great project for using up leftover yarn.
