I’m really curious why people do or don’t make journals for makes.
This poll may help me understand better.

I create one if it’s for a test. But for th3 stuff I make for myself I don’t always, cause it’s a lot of energy to spare with my current mental capacity 
I usually like journals because then when I view my makes page it kinda shows a little like a portfolio with the things I’ve made and links to the original pattern in case I wanna remake
Plus I like adding stuff like hook sizes when I start on a pattern so even if I take a break and not finish, I can look back what I used in case I forgot
Exactly, this is me.
I had commented on the last poll but with the added option I included two votes (I do make journals and I don’t have a camera) since I do make journals always when I test a pattern however when it comes to personal patterns I own that I’m not testing I tend not to make one (I am changing though since I’ve been trying to use my phone to make it) I also included my previous comment that explains in more detail about why I sometimes don’t make a journal 
along with some extra bit of info
Sometimes I use Ribblr on my laptop so taking photo’s isn’t an option, however I’m also curious as a designer would you find it acceptable just to have the finished photo and/or notes without photos? Usually I like to show the process photos with notes and then the completed at the end
obviously it might be different for different designers but I kind of just thought if I can’t take photos then there really wasn’t a point to make the journal, (I always make sure to have photos for testing though so I use my phone more often than not but I prefer reading patterns on my laptop)
I also use my laptop, but take photos with my phone. I love photos. Especially if there is an issue that it would help with. I guess just final photos would be enough in that case. Just let me know when testing my next pattern 
Lol for sure I also love the photos features especially when it comes to see just how many loose ends the pattern might have for sewing 
(sometimes my mortal enemy yet at times my favorite part lol depends on the mood 
) also a little side note, your vase is on my work desk and Its the perfect size to hold my tapestry needles/some hooks and sometimes my tape measure. I’ll have to make another one for flowers 
I chose “other” - i’m brand new to ribblr and have 0 idea what i’m doing trying to figure everything out but plan on doing journals in the future!
I’m just lazy and wouldn’t keep track of it 
ok after reading the options again, I suppose I should have chose “I don’t know how”
I only make the journal when im finished, i justclike to keep track of my projects since i gift a lot of them
Same I’ve only been on this site for about a month and a half
I do have a special one you might like coming up soon. Maybe you could test it for me.
Ooo 
now you have me excited
I try to do at least one at the end when I’m finished
