Finding a Textile Voice
I have been wanting to create one of a kind knitted accessories based on the characters from my Ty Merrick Novels. These novels are sci-fi/mysteries and Ty Merrick is a district marshal in the near future, where there’s poverty, rationing, and rampant superstition as well as a maximum of government corruption, control and greed. Ty’s a rationalized lycanthrope. She doesn’t grow hair or fangs but she does change. Along with her partner, Andy LaRue, and her fractious lover, Dr. Gibson, she hunts down killers in some very bizarre situations. Ty’s roommate is an old woman named Baba, who is the grandmother type with a mouth like a sailor. She collects ‘trash’, bits of fiber, ribbon, rags, yarn, even wire, to weave blankets.
It seems only fitting that my store feature knitted items that Baba might make. Only these clothes aren’t made from wire or rags. Instead, they’re fashioned from handspun yarn, silk, lace, ribbon, beads and baubles.
This first scarf will appear in Ty’s section, made from a corespun batt bought from Jazzturtle Creations. I’ve added silk, lace, and even sequins. The batts are full of lovely additions, from firestar to mohair to silk noil. The picture below is a scarf that will also include danglies--because Baba would never make anything that didn't have charms and power to it.
