ive got a bit of a pencil obsession.

What you really need for a box of fresh pencils is first rate manual sharpener–-now that's exciting, think of all the time you can spend just getting the points right? Life is good, no? This one below is from Muji---a fine purveyor things Japanese, of course. But for the finer work a Higo no Kami Tokudai Nagaokoma, or small folding pen knife, or if you like something a bit smaller, a Saikai Higonokami. Look here for some examples: https://improb.com/best-japanese-edc-knives/ Well-spent time sharpening pencils.
Here's the saikai higonokami. Who wouldn't love this in your IH pocket?

Going back to penCILS, I bought this Blackwing sharpener today. I was going to find that Muji one but found this locally.

Bought the black/blue alpaca beanie for my son for Xmas. Super soft and hand made [emoji106] Might have to grab one for myself

Oooh, those look nice. I have a weakness for beanies, especially soft natural fiber ones. Itchy synthetic fibers, like acrylic, are of the devil.
Where to cop?

yeah, I want an alpaca blanket too but that'll have to wait. I'm technically set for winter hats but my son's beanie is pretty nice and fits him like a glove. There's a softness to it that feels different than my wool beanie from Howlin' by Morrison.

Ordered this one for myself tonight [emoji106] might have to get a scarf next

Pencils & associated tools, large acid-free sketchbook, and technical pens purchased Sunday. Spending some time off the grid and I figured reading and seeing if I can remember how to draw would be fun indoor pursuits, with backcountry exploration dominating our outdoor pursuits.
May need to buy another copy of "Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain."
First project is to capture Otis well enough that I could frame a sketch. Then I can do one of his sister when she arrives. I'd like to be able to do these in ink but need a lot of practice. I would love to be able to pull off a sumi-e brushed ink portrait but I'm even rustier on that medium. It feels good to draw again. I never had the discipline to get very good at it, but I should be able to get good enough to have fun as a personal hobby.
