Fuzzy yarn is love...

[sunhawk16]

*struts around in delight* You know how I'm prone to getting these wild ideas? And how sometimes there's follow-through and sometimes I just get overly excited for a bit and then just kind of fade?
Well, one of my weird ideas finally inspired somebody else. Somebody who actually has that elusive follow-through. ^____^



I think most of you are aware that our own Plaiddragon (lavendarlizard) has been out of work for just a tiiiiny bit too darn long. And if you are a fan of her Blue Forest Banshee series, you are probably also aware that she is something of a warm and fuzzy yarn-o-phile. ^^; (Hang in... I'm bringing this all together here in a second.)

The independant (paraphrased) thought processes went something like this...
Plaid : Gee, there really ought to be something I could do with all this yarn that would keep me from starving...
Hawk : Man... you know what would be a cool thing to do with yarn?

So, we are here to announce the launch of SunDragon Uh... PlaidRaptor uh... fandom crafty stuff. ^___^
Our talented Dragon can both knit and crochet and has been busily producing samples for the last couple of weeks. And is now ready to offer up a lovely selection of fandom scarves and accessories!
Show your fandom pride in bold numbers...

In more discreet fandom colors...

Or if you prefer non-pairing GW love, there's plain colors like this 'Wufei'...

Thick and fuzzy Puma Tails for that BFB touch. Plaid says these are called I-cord on steroids; basically a knitted tube. More decorative than a 'for warmth' thing...

A mix and match your own color scheme latice weave...

An assortment of granny square latice scarves in a variety of 'special' colors...

And last but not least, her very own 'Banshee Wraps'... (note the squeeful blue and purple varigated yarn!)

Perfect for a little extra warmth when sitting up in the wee hours to write. ^__~

Have a yen for a special pairing? Colors/numbers can be mixed and matched any way you like. Have an idea we haven't tried yet? Run it up the flag-pole and we'll see what we can do. Think Duo and Heero should be represented by black and green instead of purple and blue? No problem!

And now the particulars. You tell us what you want; the samples are just to give an idea of what can be done, this is pretty much about 'special order'. You tell us the style, the color, the pattern and we'll take it from there.
Standard Banshee Wraps will run $20 plus shipping, and standard scarves will be $12 plus shipping. $10 plus shipping for the Tails. Payment can be sent to Plaid (address on request) by money order, or to me through Paypal and I'll forward it on. Payment will be made when the article is ready to ship, unless you are requesting a special (expensive) yarn, and then we'll need some material cost up front.

Fandom scarves... the perfect gift for the fangirl (or boy!) who has everything! ^_____^

(Edit) Uh... oh yeah; you can contact either of us directly, or drop a comment here. Sunhawk16 (at) Hotmail, or Plaiddragon (at) Gmail.

hey, we dont kid about the braid *eyes you* lol

hmmm, well I like the texture of knitting I suppose, but the teens working on a blanket that's really nice, it's not a stitch I'm familiar with (I gave it up when I was like 8? lol) but it's really nice. ^-^ You know, I must've missed something in the intro for this because I had the impression Plaid was doing the stitching to earn extra money? I didn't realize you were going to make things too ^______^

How thick are those puma tails? maybe they could be braided together? I could just take a couple of those and do the braid myself I suppose ^-^ then again, she does that weave, I wonder if that could be incoporated into a braid instead or is it a set pattern? Just idea's. I'm easy, I'll just take one of the latice pieces in a 1x2 theme (and the monkey will pout if he doesn't get a shirt. ever seen a pink monkey pout? it's not a pretty picter *shakes head* lol) I suppose I could appease him however, whatever's convient for you guys. ^-^

I'm just the backup person in case she gets swamped or something, but I crochet better than I knit! ^o^ All the monies would still go to Plaid though, I'm mostly just helping out with the Paypal and stuff.
And Lord knows we don't want to see a pouty pink monkey! ^o^ Can you measure the little guy? Top of shoulder to where the hem would be, and around the tummy? Hell... we'll give it a try! ^o^ Or Plaid will give it a try and I will offer encouragement. ^________^
The thickness of the Puma Tails varies on the size needles you use; the samples are probably about as big around as... *tries to think of something* Ah! Like a hotdog! :P But if she used smaller needles, could maybe thin it down... *ponders*

Minkey is very happy! ^_^ He's 1 1/4 from neck to waist and 5" diameter around the waist.

But, Duo's braid is pretty thick, wouldn't we need to go bigger on the tails? just do three of them then braid them together? What were you getting for the standard ones? $5? or $10? Can't let the damn muse suck me dry of the rent money I made on commisions either lol But I assume the larger tails would be more expensive. still I'd like to do this if we can work it out, let me know the new price though.

Let me confer with the technical expert and we'll see what we can come up with. ^__~
