What I’m Using Now (January 2018)

Here’s the most recent update to my “using now” photo:

My main daily notebook is still the squared pocket Moleskine. A pocket Moleskine sketchbook is also a daily carry. And I have added the Nolty 2018 diary to my daily carry as well– I was originally thinking I would keep it by my bedside to record things at the end of the day but I enjoy it so much I’ve been keeping it with me. I am noting appointments in it, as well as tracking food, exercise, weather and other daily details.  I’ve only been using fountain pens in this notebook.

Also in the photo:

–my old Hobonichi Techo that I’m using for handwriting practice

–the white Conceptum notebook which has notes about moving and home renovations as well as some other “new life” goals and plans

Not pictured but also in current usage on at least a semi-regular basis:

Pentalic Watercolor Sketchbook for painting

Moleskine Volant for French class notes

Squared Decomposition Book used for sketching floor plans and renovation ideas

In addition to my notebooks, the pens below are currently in heavy usage, with most of them being carried around in this adorable Delfonics pouch, which I just got as a holiday gift:

TWSBI Eco EF nib fountain pen, (this was also a holiday gift and I LOVE it!) currently inked with Diamine Oxblood

2 Pilot Metropolitan F nib fountain pens, currently inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku and Sailor Seaweed Indigo

Lamy Safari F nib fountain pen, currently inked with Noodler’s Apache Sunset (though this will change as this ink looks nicer with a wider nib)

Uniball Signo RT 0.38 gel ink pen

Kaweco SketchUp clutch pencil (another holiday gift!)

Uniball Style Fit with 4 0.38 gel ink pen inserts and a mechanical pencil insert.
