Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes...
With vestiges of summer fading, falling leaves indicate autumn is set for an early show, and the Farmer’s Almanac is predicting yet another season of flurry-ous activity. At Retromantic we’ve been a midst tremendous activity, balancing order fulfillment and designing new products, all the while setting up our new studio and production facilities. It’s a tricky act filled with adapting to the unexpected (Secret No. 1: Retro-fitting a 100-year old structure promises precious little will be in a straight line). So we keep our humor (and humility) in check as we traverse this and other transitions, for what would life be without surprises: Winter in Wisconsin? Sun in California? Rain in Seattle? Kudzu in my native South? Same menu. In response we twist and stitch, go against the grain where possible, but still with an appreciation for anything that inspires the good of the work.

Our debut Hallows Tied Collection is where the mischievous and whimsical converge and conjure.
|
Just in time for the season, our Hallows Tied and SteamPunk products are seeking new perspectives (they love hanging around the shop but are ready to travel places far and wide). Below is a sneak peek. For the complete show please visit us at retromanticfripperies.com.

Every great thing deserves a sequel and our Hallows Tied II products continue the fun.
|
And speaking of Shows, Retromantic will be part of Harvest Hop 2015, Thursday, September 10 thru Sunday, September 13. While this is a Stitching show, all pieces are also crafted for Knitters and Crocheters.
 |
As fans of all things SteamPunk it was a natural fit to pay homage to this venerable hybrid genre with our very own tags.

Lastly, Retromantic is always pleased and honored to find its products featured as favorites in various print and on-line publications. Most recently, three of our products garnered accolades in Issue No. 53 of Knitty-Grassroots Knitting at http://knitty.com/ISSUEdf15/FEATdf15stuff.php. Scroll down a bit for the title, “Fripperies Vintage-style Needle Gauges by Retromantic.” Enjoy their descriptive wordsmithing, then give these fine products a try... from here you’re just a click away.
