About the UnGridded Notebooks
Their UnGridded Pocket Notebooks and Colouring Books focus on different topics from many diverse disciplines. I backed both their Series I and Series II Pocket Notebooks. The Kickstarter Campaign itself was funded in June 2016, but I only received my notebooks last month (and to be perfectly honest I had completely forgotten that I had backed these – so they were a pleasant surprise when they arrived). Each pocket notebook has 32 pages which are individually designed and have patterns with a particular theme. I’ve shared some pictures below. If you missed out during the Kickstarter campaign you can buy the notebooks and colouring books in their online shop.
