Yarn + Ink: This IS a spring chicken.

Author Laura CameronPosted on June 13, 20234 Comments

This week I looked at the palette I was knitting with and knew it would make a fun set of ink swatches. My regrets are that I don’t have the perfect butter yellow, or that light almost pea green. But I muddled through and selected: Robert Oster Green Olive J. Herbin Vert Olive PenBBS #219…

Yarn & Ink: Delightfully Springy

Author Laura CameronPosted on April 25, 20231 Comment

This week I’m working on a fun new chicken for The City Girl Farm, so it’s time for another ink + yarn palette. This yarn is mostly natural (white) with hints of tons of other colors. There’s a bright carrot orange, a pretty pea green, an orangey-red, and an aqua to name just a few.…

Yarn + Ink: Perfectly Primary

Author Laura CameronPosted on November 29, 2022November 28, 20224 Comments

With all the amazing ink colors out there, sometime I just go back to the primary colors and marvel that these 3 hues can be mixed in various proportions to make all the other colors! Recently I finished a sweater that had the primary colors, plus turquoise thrown in. So I had to search through…

Yarn and Ink: What’s in that pink?

Author Laura CameronPosted on November 15, 20221 Comment

It is now mid-November which means two fundamental things: I will forget that I need to take pictures early in the day, meaning they’ll now be badly (or artificially lit). You’d think after 44 years on earth I’d remember that fact, but every year I repeat the mistake. November is NaKniSweMo. For a little history…

Thread + Ink: Spring greens.

Author Laura CameronPosted on March 15, 2022March 14, 2022Leave a comment

This week I tried a new to me craft: embroidery. While I stitched on the Positive Plants kit from MCreativeJ ($31) my eye was one again drawn to my Col-o-Dex and all the ink colors it contains. This was was downright easy: Robert Oster Sublime Banmi Deep Green Colorverse Alpha Centauri C’mon spring!

Over the last week or so, I've been slowly updating the shop. First, I have added more pen clean out and ink destashing. Patrons get advanced notice when I do stationery cupboard clean outs so if you join the Patreon, you too can get first dibs when I clear out my ever-expanding pen, paper and ink stash. I've been a little stressed by my collection -- that feeling of having too many things to keep track of, etc -- that I'm probably removing items from my collection that are from the core of my collection, not the fluff....
"review" of the Schon DSGN Monoc nib and Pocket Six anodized aluminum pocket pen. I say "review" because its just 100% praise for this amazing nib and pen.
Federalist Pens released their latest ink collaboration with Robert Oser: Frankly Walnut ($18 for 50ml bottle) which was unveiled at the DC Pen Show this year. Frankly Walnut looks reddish brown on Col-o-ring paper but on Tomoe River it looks almost purply. Fascinating. When compared with other brown inks, many Robert Oster were similar but different. Robert Oster Chocolate is probably the closest but is a bit more red orange in undertones where Frankly Walnut is a little more reddish in undertone....
