Roving Pr0n

THIS.  :D

Raxor's Etsy shop is just full of gorgeous space-dyed merino, tussah silk, and mulberry silk, and a whole bunch of silk yarn for the knitters too!

This Is Not A Jayne Hat

So after 10 years, Fox decided to pay some attention to the Firefly series, and by attention, I mean being a meanypants to the fans.  Yeah, I understand the whole copyright issue, but claiming copyright a decade after the fact, on an item the wardrobe department picked up in a thrift store?  Hmmm.

But of course, the knitting community and the Browncoats showed yet again how awesome and creative they are with their response to Fox's shenanigans...Would you like a Cunning Hat?  Or a parable about a Nasty Mean Canid?

Some people had Things To Say about the situation...

Can't stop the signal.

YARN!

Dancing Leaf Farm on Etsy has some really incredible colors...Seriously, look.  LOOK.  :D




She dyes both yarn and roving, though when I last checked, there seemed to be a bit more roving than yarn...This is not A Bad Thing, but you non-spinners out there had better get to shopping quick!  Though most of her fiber seems to be merino or plain Australian wool, her colors are just amazing.

My Name Is Elizabeth, And I Am A Geek

This is beyond awesome.

I am very fond of samplers anyway, but Superhero Samplers?  Full of win.

Wee Little Stitches also has more geek/contemporary cross stitch patterns available: The Big Bang Theory, Star Wars, the Justice League...AND FIREFLY!  :D

Knitting Jools!

OMFGS, I cannot resist these!!

Go check out Maxsworld on Etsy: you know you need a skein of yarn necklace!  Love love love love love!! :D

OK, so I was all ready to start gushing over this bit of BFL, since it's my favorite fiber, and it's all green and teal and mint and evergreen and YUMMY...

But then I clicked on the main part of Edgewood Garden Studio's Etsy shop, and Oh Em Eff Gee.  Go look at her huge selection of handspun.  Exquisite handspun.  Glorious handspun.  Incredible handspun!  If I could spin like this lady, I would die a happy woman!  OK, go look at it, I will wait here.

AMIRITE?

I also love the very complete descriptions for each of her items, with extra info about the fiber animal, as well as specific information about the handspun itself.  Impressive!  This shop is definitely going to become one of my Etsy favorites.  :D

OK, purple is my favorite color, so how could I resist this?

I mean, LOOK AT IT.  :D

Fiber Artemis' Etsy shop is just chock full of beautiful, muted colors: silk hankies, Polwarth, merino, Corriedale, mulberry silk, roving with all sorts of different blends...ZOMGS!  There's even some of her own handspun, if you're not a spinner, and extra bits and pieces for your own yarn if you're one of those lucky souls with a drum carder.

Oh man...I just saw that she's got a Batt Club too...It might be time to put
 my credit card in the freezer in case I completely lose control...  ;)
