    So fabulous, I searched for knit pen case, so esoteric! and could not believe it yielded this link. I am also an ink and fountain pen and knitting afficionado all my life and just recently bought a few pens which I crocheted one single case for but did not turn out too well. However this looks just great. Do you have a written text for both stitch patterns as well as the case? , the demo is fab but really not clear at least to me of what you are doing to achieve both patterns. I guess I can just type out what you are saying and form it into a text. I will check if what I am asking you for is already on Ravelry. Wonder if using the thread double would make for a sturdier case, or would the knit patterns be obscured. For me, since I misplace and lose things a lot, I would NOT want to put all my pens in one place, God forbid if I couldn't find ALL my pens each with their special inks! Love the aesthetics with the ink, and you emit a lovely persona. Wish you were my neighbor, so sensitive. and meticulous! BTW you probably know this, but are you familiar with Goulet Pens? They sell all levels and lots of instructs on you tube. Also do you have any links to share that you like? Needless to say I subscribed!

    This is so interesting! Does alkaline inks eat up the rubber parts of vintage pens?

    • @PensandNeedles
      @PensandNeedles 3 роки тому

      The alkalinity can react over time (or on old materials) with different parts of the pen. It's always a good idea to store vintage pens carefully, as over time the materials offgas, may discolor, and get damaged. Inky pen dance has a great guide that links to Richard Binder's warning against alkaline inks. www.indy-pen-dance.com/preserving-your-pens-dos-and-don-ts.html

    • @PensandNeedles
      @PensandNeedles 3 роки тому

      After more research I am a bit less worried about the ph of inks. There's a big debate in the fp community! Over a long period of time, any solution can deteriorate an ink sac (even water), but for daily use, a modern ink shouldn't be too much of a concern. Acidic inks can corrode metal parts, but rinsing your pens and not letting the ink dry up inside seem to have the strongest impact, not the ink you choose. And of course, other features can effect how safe an ink is (shimmer might clog, binding agents might gum, etc). I still think the ph is interesting to know, out of curiosity. This is an interesting test of some inks. fountainpenlove.com/fountain-pen-ink/testing-fountain-pen-sacs-with-ink/

    • @InkyRocks
      @InkyRocks 3 роки тому

      @@PensandNeedles Thanks for getting back to me. I had been reading about the controversy and was wondering if you experienced any adverse reaction. I don't mess with a lot of vintage pens (I usually pull the nib out and put it in a modern one much to the horror of many friends) but I had a bladder disintegrate from Iroshizuku ink. Brian Gray of Edison said he was hearing the same thing. But in my case, I leave ink in pens WAY too long.

    • @PensandNeedles
      @PensandNeedles 3 роки тому

      @@InkyRocks I haven't had any issues. I think it is really a matter of how long the ink is inside. I am a firm believer that pens are meant to be used, and because nibs originally were gold to accommodate acidic inks, I'm ok trying those in vintage pens. I don't have anything in my collection that is priceless, rare, or in mint condition, so even if I damage a pen, it's not a big deal. I'm tempted to try alkaline inks for a short period, but washing out the bladder is such a hassle 😬. I like your idea of a vintage nib on a modern pen that's easy to clean- they don't make flex like they used to!

    Glad I watched. ^^ This made me realize that Haha has similar characteristics to Sailor Ink Studio 123. 1) Relatively dry 2) Difficult to see in writing, unless for drawing 3) Best seen in really large swatches/lines. Brush pens seem to bring out the best characteristics of this kind if ink. Otherwise, it might help to see it by having it dry out in a cheap pen in a day or 2, but it does dull the color significantly. 123 becomes some kind of gray that's surprisingly unremarkable save for a purple tint. Maybe Haha might turn a funky blue. ^^*
