Despite the fact that I didn’t go anywhere in 2020, I still used my Knitter’s Planner quite a bit to keep track of all of my work obligations. I also developed quite a few preferences for what I wanted to see in a planner going forward, and I think I’ve found it in the Year…

12 Days of Inkmas: Robert Oster Fire & Ice (Day 4)
Robert Oster’s Fire and Ice (50mL for #$17) isn’t new, but I find myself reaching for it every holiday season. Something about that tealy blue and the red sheen feel perfect for addressing all of my holiday cards. So even if I haven’t seen it all year, it’s out and in a pen with at…
