I made a note of where I first saw an Akkerman ink referenced, and have lost it somehow. Sigh. I keep starting new notebooks so I can find things easier but I REFUSE to pull my ink stuff out of my Captain’s Log. Refuse. 

Besides, it was probably on the Pen Addict blog, let’s be honest. I am read that blog all the time. I have learned a thousand things from it. Highly recommend. Actually, I love it so much, I am working my way backwards, as I keep up to date with the latest. It is a little weird seeing posts from near the beginning of the pandemic – I think I’m back in early 2020 at this point. 

What decided me on this one for this month was the numbered aspect actually. Numbered inks are both satisfying and have the potential to make me go a little out of control – if for example, I only need 30 or 31 of them but there are 70 in total… And if any of these names are misspelled, I am sorry, I may have lost one or two battles with the auto correct.
