So here’s a piece of news I think is pretty un-jinx-able at this point:
Ok, so, to begin at the beginning, last Friday I released a pattern called The Fool. (As you all no doubt remember, I’m presently working on a series of shawls all named after and inspired by specific cards from the Tarot deck. It’s endlessly fascinating. More on that later.) Here’s a picture of it:
The other day, I got a ravelry message from an employee of MISS BABS (whose name you might recognize as the brand of yarn I used in The Fool). She wanted to let me know that they’d be making a sample of the shawl and stocking the patterns to take with them on their festival circuit this year!!
What this means is that when you go to shows like the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival and the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival and you stop by Miss Babs’ booth, you’ll see a sample of my shawl on a person or a dress form along with the pattern, which you can purchase from them. And obviously, at the two aforementioned festivals, you might find me standing around grinning like an idiot and offering to sign your pattern. Just humor me.
