the Filofax solution.

So I knit a pink cover, in bulky Fixation [!] to cover my cheapo filofax dealy.

It looked like a bad diaper cover with no leg holes. Did it fit? No. Did I measure? Repeatedly.

There was only one solution. I broke down and splurged:



The real thing. A pink leather [ooh, the smell!] Filofax. Model is Cross. Size is personal, in case anyone cares. That's the size that holds standard biz card refills. And since standard refills are a fraction of the price of Filofax branded ones, that matters.

I didn't plan it, but see how nice my Knitty biz cards look in there? It's the same pink! Freakish.

I ended up relying on the generosity of Amy [indigirl] and her folks who received the package and reshipped it to me. Thanks, Amy!

Small business tip:
Getting custom biz cards printed has always been an expensive PIA. But we have a decent ink jet printer and Avery [bless them] makes invisible perf business card sheets that are exquisite. The finish is smooth and the print looks like offset, or as close as you can get -- even better than laser! I can print one sheet or 10 and change the color of the logo every time if I want. You can't beat that.
