If you start making them you'll find making a whole bunch easy. They're super easy (I suggest reading my project notes on Ravelry to make it even easier). Make sure that any beads you buy have big enough holes. I had bunches of large beads, but couldn't use most of my beads because the hole really needs to be the right size. The designer gives the hole size on her blog (to correspond to making these with size 10 thread). They didn't need to be huge holes, but they needed to be big enough to basically get a thickish knot of thread through.Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4180424865669168363.post-77072088198705735322018-08-06T18:56:28.604-04:002018-08-06T18:56:28.604-04:00Thank you, Lucy.

Of course then I bought a vintage (that I know will work in the one) fountain pen ink converter (i.e. a portable ink well for the pen that gathers ink from the ink bottle for your pen to use in your pen) that goes with what I have + one for my other pen + a bottle of ink.... all on amazon...
