    Default Greetings FPGs

    Hello fellow FPGs!

    I just found this forum while researching vintage fountain pens and decided to take the plunge and join! I rediscovered my love of writing with a fountain pen in last month and since then I have acquired 8 fountain pens (Lamy Safari F and 1.5 m, Pilot Kakuno B and F, Twsbi 580, Noodler's Ahad, Pilot Namiki Falcon SEF, and a vintage Waterman 3V, a recent acquisition). I started with a Lamy years ago but have lost that fountain pen. After writing with the Namiki and the Waterman, I've found that I really love the line variations when writing with the flex nibs and have been obsessed with finding the ultimate flex pen!

    I currently live in San Francisco, California, married to a software engineer with a teenaged son. When not practicing my handwriting skills, I'm a half marathon runner (5 half marathons so far since fall 2013 and thinking about running a marathon later this year) and knitter. InCoWriMo sounds intriguing to me and thinking about joining this letter writing community.

    welcome welcome. Nice variety of pens you have there. Have you found any inks or paper that have piqued your interest? While we do have InCoWriMo, there is a thread for those of us who exchange letters year round. If you are interested just pop in and say hi. Knitted anything interesting lately?

    Thanks caribbean_skye. I really like the pilot iroshizuku inks and have got three bottles. I just discovered Diamine and ordered a few smaller bottles to try. I'm still discovering what papers that are good. Currently knitting a top with a Japanese pattern using 100% silk yarn...taking a long time...

    We look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
