or get into some of the conventions I’ve gotten into.

We finally have hand-dyed yarn to settle in with our cozy stock, and I’m looking forward to embracing my weirdness in year two.

Thank you again, y’all are awesome.

The Knitting Faun @theknittingfaun.bsky.social · 7d

So much I never thought possible has been made possible because of all of you. Every purchase, every share, every comment, every like. I never thought my soaps would have a home in a shop (thank you #smallformatpvd ), I never thought I’d be invited to events,

Thank you everyone who has been with us during this tumultuous time. I truly appreciate each pleasant conversation, each awesome event, each cool cosplay that stops by our booth at conventions. All the blood, sweat, tears, and flare ups have lead us here.

The Knitting Faun @theknittingfaun.bsky.social · 7d

We'll also be bringing some goodies to this one in addition to our usual stock.

In addition to all this, I've been working hard on some special soaps for the season! Stay tuned.

The Knitting Faun @theknittingfaun.bsky.social · 9d

Adults and smol humans are both welcome to Trick or Treat at our table, candy is for all. We'll also have some spooky-themed hand-dyed yarn available!

Then we'll be, thus far, culminating spooky season (which actually lasts all year, don't let anyone lie to you, it's like Pride) with Haus of Codec.

The Knitting Faun @theknittingfaun.bsky.social · 9d

We're taking a little break that weekend to go hang out with @cloudedstitches.bsky.social at RetroGameCon. Any online orders will be fulfilled when we get back.

Then a festival with #newenglandwitchesguild at Crescent Park! We'll have candy available for Trick-or-Treating + our usual offerings!

A calendar will be out for October very soon, as well as some new small-batch limited edition soaps for spooky season! Trying to fill in some empty areas. Our first year anniversary is also this weekend so please keep an eye out for something else special then.

The Knitting Faun @theknittingfaun.bsky.social · 9d

as y’all may have noticed as the business continues to rattle along on the struggle bus, I don’t always have everything in stock. Thank y’all for your patience, hoping to bounce back soon!

The Knitting Faun @theknittingfaun.bsky.social · 9d

Another month gone by! In September most donations were made at People’s Pride for Palestine, but here is another donation to our usual #pcrf for the remaining donations made at other markets.

I’ll try to have the Palestine soaps back in stock for the market this weekend, 🧵
