The reward for surviving across Kansas was a Well-Appointed meal. The only time the view changed was during a rainstorm.The actual view out the window was like this the entire time. I was able to capture the two most interesting sights on this drive: 9 hours driving across eastern Colorado and the entire state of Kansas. The Epic Well-Appointed Journey began with my solo trip from Colorado out to Ana’s Well-Appointed house in Kansas City. We thought our readers may enjoy seeing a portion of the trip. The Well-Appointed staff has not yet been able to attend pen shows during 2021 (nor for most of 2020), but that doesn’t mean we haven’t seen one another! Ana, her (real) husband, Bob, and I made the trek up to Indianapolis to attend Jaclyn’s wedding. One of our own had a huge reason to celebrate last week – Jaclyn got married! So… you can see why I forfeit this review and left you with the joy that is Sour Skittles colored sock yarn. D not burn plastic! Or notebooks with plastic covers. The covers would need to be removed before the internal pages could be recycled - or if you were particularly thorough about disposing of the contents or burned. It wasn’t until I realized how unsatisfactory the paper was that I faced with the dilemma of how best to dispose of a notebook with plastic covers…. The grid also seemed a bit too dark for most tools. Rollerball and liquid inks, including fountain pen inks, bleed, feather, show through and generally do not work with the paper. Maybe, a felt tipped pen like a Papermate Flair would be okay with it too. The paper is very smooth but unsuitable for all but the most “general” tools - ballpoint and maybe the occasional gel pen. Suffice it to say, the Penco General Notebook (B7 size which is about 3.5″ x 5″ ) has a thick plastic cover and off-white paper with 5mm grid in grey. Second, my initial post was supposed to be a review about a budget-friendly notebook and it was not really worth the time or effort to write up a review for the site about it. It perfectly matches my Diplomat Traveler Lumi Light and Lamy Vibrant Pink (which, amusingly, is what the color I dye my hair is also called.) In terms of ink, Monteverde Garnet was the closest I could find without diving into neon inks and Diamine Calligraphy Passion and Lennon Tool Bar Firefly were good matches to the green. I mean… c’mon! Lime green with fuchsia contrasting yarn for the heels and toes (This self-striping yarn is from Lollipop Yarn and is/was called “Sweet & Sour” if I remember correctly). First, this yarn, as many have told me is SO ME. Laura usually does the Yarn + Ink posts but my rationale for doing one today it two-fold.
