look i know this is a bit niche, but I would die for the human who wrote this pattern description. maybe you won’t feel the same if you haven’t spent hours and hours reading knitting pattern blurbs by the designer or the designers hype person.
listen, this niche is made for me and i am buying this pattern sometime this winter to make myself one!!! thanks for sharing, i am in love
the pattern is called the rangers cowl by Michael Vloedman, the image is a link, but i guess that doesn’t carry through on reblogs?? here’s the url – ravelry.com/patterns/library/ranger-cowl
So sorry abt that folks, i really didn’t think anyone would notice this post at all.
@ardatli@alicesaurusfragilis maybe it’s just me, but I’d say this in deep red would make an A+ casual cosplay of Billy Kaplan…
A Needle Runs Through It– Laser cut stitch markers, handy guides, project bag holders, and cross stitch accessories. Includes some “sassy” markers with copious amounts of swear words. Great for fandom lovers.
Knitifacts – Wonderful decorative artwork for the yarn enthusiast. Also makes basic stitch markers in every color and size. At the fair, I purchased fiber from her but I don’t see any on her online shop.
The Homestead Hobbyist – Lots of cool fiber or unique blends. Some dyed, some natural. Also had resin/carbon fiber spindles, and laser cut fiber accessories. One of the few male spinners I met there.
Psych Ward Yarns– Wonderful brightly colored yarns in different sizes. Felt like most shops only brought fingering weight.
Jimmy Beans Wool – This is a large online shop. They do that fiber advent calendar that’s super cool. They also sell an interchangeable knitting set that has inch markers on the needles. At the show, however, they were only selling their Namaste line of travel bags. Super cool. I wanted one if money wasn’t a factor. They had one that was designed to fit right under airplane seats. Loved it!
Color Notes Yarn – They had an amazing booth. Cute little fruit baskets filled with color matching yarn. Top notch atheistic. Great if you’re in search for solid color yarn
Old returning favorites from years past
Greenwood Fiberworks – fiber and yarn. Specializes in yak and buffalo mixed fiber. Nice Earthy colorways.
Chicken Boots – WIP accessories. Great for Fandom Lovers. Has simple, but innovative DPNs project holders that are reasonably priced and you should totally buy some. Also has my favorite circular needle holder which is an accordion style pocket purse. Everything handmade and well crafted
Wonderland Dyeworks – Fiber only. I usually always buy from them. I love their charming colorways. They package colors together to make complimentary yarns for any 2-4 tone project.
Trif’s Turnings – Hand carved and lathed yarn accessories. Lazy kates, niddy noddys, spindles of every type, and cake un-winders
Clemes & Clemes – N California Favorite! Fiber prep tools and accessories. Specializes in drum carders. Was kind of disappointed in their booth this year. I know they’ve been doing other festivals and I wonder if their stock was just low. For being a double sized booth they didn’t have much compared to years past. Top notch products though!
