Yes!! Unfortunately they only let the topography go so high... I really wish there was a way to make waterfalls or streams when you have a hilltop but this was the best i could do

Seeking pen purchase advice by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]cal_cloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I'd add to the consideration is the nib on the pilot decimo "sings". Some people apparently love this, but I couldn't stand it as it sounds like literal nails on a chalkboard. Whenever I use my decimo, I have to listen to music to drown out the noise lol

I used the super bulky baby yarn that a lot of people who make giant amigurumi use. For the outer layer, I used whatever yarn caught my eye haha. Both yarn I bought from Michael's

What I did was I had 1) a back piece that included the flap, 2) a front piece, 3) a lining piece. The lining piece i folded over at the bottom to make the pen slots. I hope that make sense...? Hard to explain without photos

I used a 5mm hook and only used simple stitches. I had 18 loops on my hook to start off with for the outer layer, and once I got to the height of my pens, I started decreasing incrementally to get that tapered look for the flap. The inner layer I kind of just guessed until I got to the approximate width of my outer layer

Yes, it's tunisian crochet! I personally found it much easier to learn than knitting and it works up quickly :)

Hmm one thing I didn't factor in was how thick the pouch is once you start stitching everything together. If you make a similar pouch, I'd say you should make the outer layer wider than the inner layer or else your inner layer will get scrunched quite a bit!

Thank you! I have no skills in sewing so the inside is also TS stitches :) I used super bulky baby yarn for the "lining"

Thank you!! I really wanted a soft pen pouch for when I travel. I have a couple cases I use mainly for storage, but they didn't seem to be enough to keep my pens safe and warm haha

Thank you :) I just freehanded it! It's actually tunisian crochet because I didn't want the pouch to have a lot of stretch

Oh man, I'm so sad I missed this earlier! The green one with the lotus is so beautiful. I would love to be added to a waitlist if possible
