Woods Bay Wool Ways Patterns and Needle Holders

I am planning a trip through Washington October 29th through November 3rd to market my patterns and needle holders. I have a very small line of patterns that I have written, with a minimum first wholesale order running just $47. I receive feedback that the patterns are very well laid out, clever and fun to make. Customers love the fact that they are written to work with a wide variety of yarns and fit any size, infant through adult. After many sales during the past 18 months, I have not heard of any errors.
Let me know if you would be interested in me stopping by to spend about 30 minutes showing you the patterns and models. I will travel with free-delivery stock.
Note that these would all make great holiday knitting projects.

Mosaic Triangle Hat features complicated-looking color work worked with only one color per row. The triangles worked into the crown so perfectly that it inspired me to start writing patterns to sell.
Button-Up Socks: Just for the Fun of It has no gauge, no heel flap, no edge to pick up for a gusset (not a short-row heel with bulky wraps either.) Cast on 2 stitches and watch it grow.
Braids and Nupps Hat features well-illustrated directions for Double-Start Cast-On, Kihnu Vits Braid and Nupps. A technique for minimizing the jog that occurs when knitting with colors and patterns in-the-round is written right in where it is needed. Topped off with a sweet little knitted tassle.
Sweet Vee Jumper for Toddlers plays with different angles while shaping the skirt and yoke, plus gives tips and illustrations for picking up edges with a clean look. Perfect for handpainted yarns.
One-Row Reversible Scarves includes 9 patterns for scarves, shawls or afgans, with the single pattern row and multiple stitches for each highlighted to encourage knitters to use any yarn, any size. Six pages, five in color for .
---- and a gadget: Double Point Needle Caddy holds sock needles in a handy portable tube. The tube itself is a needle gauge and ruler. Perfect for storing and carrying double point needles. Specify purple or turquoise.
