Tombow Pencil Comparison

October 29, 2015

Let's take a look at how the Tombow 8900, Mono Professional, and Mono 100 stack up!  Below you can find the handwritten review that I showed in the video, as well as some pictures that show the color of the 8900 a bit more accurately.

PS - sorry for the little bits of dust/fuzz that can be seen sticking to the pencils in the pictures and video.  I noticed them while I was editing, but alas, that is the price you pay when you film on beautiful wood floors.  

These pencils were given to me as gifts from various sources (you know who you are, and thank you very much again) and I am not being compensated for this post in any way.  All opinions above are my own and you are free to disagree with me if you like.

Sometimes, I take pictures of things...

Just finished my first pair of “work socks” here in AL! These have lived in my desk drawer since the start of the year and I get a few rows done when I’m in meetings or debugging code. The stripes matching up after the gusset was 10
Spherical farm animals found in the wild!
New podcast is up! Wherein I only talk about ~one~ project and why I’m going to shift my focus to being a very monogamous knitter for a while. Curious? Links to everywhere you can find it are in my profile. :-)
The body is finished! I kitchenered all 221 stitches of ribbing to the bottom because apparently I hate myself *a lot* but I really like how clean the bottom edge looks.
