Spotlight on.......Neck Punch by Jenn Partyka

 Neck Punch/Jenn Partyka
Knitted Scarves
BIO:I have been crocheting since I was little and have been learning to knit over the last few years. I like making it up as I go (though I follow patterns too), and I love learning how to do new things. I started making scarves for me but now I have too many, so here they are! I'm 27 and just moved to Chicago. I'm also a musician, an anglophile, and a nerd.

Spotlight on......Anna Margush

Anna Margush
Photography and things.
BIO:From photography to sewing, Anna has been a manic crafter since always. While photography remains the constant, other things float in and out - crocheting afghans, recycling old clothes into new creations, and delving into her box of Lost and Broken Things to mishmash together fascinating jewelry. Whether you’re looking for a photographer who sees everything in an interesting light, some earrings that don’t match but certainly harmonize, or don’t even know what you want - it’s always worth a mosey.

Spotlight on.....HubCaps by Dan Hubner.

 Dan Hubner
Crocheted Hats

BIO: The HubCaps idea emerged from the eclectic snowboarding culture that I have longtime been a part of. Making out of the ordinary hats began as a small hobby simply for my personal use and enjoyment, but quickly took flight when friends and others took interest in them. Now with the help of my hometown senior center and a few donations from local businesses I am making and selling HubCaps where half of all profits are being donated to Penn State's THON dance marathon.

Website: http://www.etsy.com/shop/kayemkay
BIO: my parents bought me a sewing machine for christmas when i was in high school. i touched it only a few times, making square pincushions... and larger square pincushions which i referred to as pillows. I hated threading the machine, so it wasn't long before i gave up.Though, i still don't derive any pleasure from threading my machine, i am very pleased to make things that my friends call "cute". Now i spend my free time making purses and recycling old thrift finds. I'm always up for trying something new; shoes, hats, upholstery. I hope to be able to make something you like, something that you'll call "cute".

Spotlight on..... Accidental Charm

 Accidental Charm: Sandra Park
Handmade jewelry, knitting charms, vintage
Website: http://www.etsy.com/shop/accidentalcharm
BIO: Accidental Charm is a one woman operation run by yours truly. I've had this need to be doing something with my hands for as long as I can remember, be it origami, sewing (very poorly), drawing (even worse), knitting, crocheting, jewelry-making, etc. Born in NYC and raised in Northern Jersey I moved to State College earlier this year. Some of the finer points of living in Central PA I've learned to truly appreciate are Wegmans and free refills on soda. My interests include: vintage Pyrex, street fashion photo-graphy, Johannes Brahms, Art Deco, hot dogs.

Spotlight on...Veronica Barnett

Veronica Roo's Valuables/Veronica Barnett
Website: http://www.etsy.com/shop/veronicaroo
BIO: Honestly, I just wanted to make weird earrings. I wanted them to be different, for the "different" kinds of earring wearers all over this diverse earth. What I came up with is a wide array of earrings for all kinds of people. My earrings feature things such as recycled ipod parts, doll baby eyes, beautiful Czech glass flowers, freshwater pearls, semi precious stones, glass beads, dyed shells, random silver plated or pewter charms, and even conversational beads that can tell people that you are "spy-ful" or a "little devil". They have been fashioned together with either silver-plated earring findings (earring hooks and head pins, or earring stud backs), 925 Silver, antique brass, copper, and recently I have started using rose gold.
