My husband has a beanie that he loved, but when he misplaced it, I wanted to knit a replacement for him. His original beanie had two layers of fabric, was knit at a small gauge, had no slouch and no brim. I knew of the Musselburgh Hat from different YouTube podcasts, and thought it would fit the requirements. Keep reading for my Musselburgh Hat knitting experience.

2024 Erin Condren A5 Life Planner Review

This post may contain affiliate links; all opinions are my own. SeeĀ Disclosures here.

I’ve been using an Erin Condren Life Planner for the last 10 years. I started out using the 7×9 size in their vertical layout, but then switched to the horizontal layout because that works better for how I like to use the planner. Then, two years ago, I decided to try out the A5 life planner size and I love it so much.

I did a full review comparing the regular 7×9 size to the A5 size. The compact size is so much cuter and practical for me. I don’t travel with my planner, but I prefer the smaller size on my desk. If you are interested in getting an Erin Condren A5 Life Planner, keep reading for why I love mine and a review of the new 2024 planner.
