A little bit about me...
Welcome! You've found my store! My online name is Kobuu but you my know me as Patrick Lyddy, "the Epic", "Yarn God", or simply BGP. Just some nick names I've picked up over the years.
I have been knitting since 2001 when I was in college. Lots of people have helped me along the way learn different techniques and I picked up crochet in 2003. From then on, I seem to always be working on something. From hats to sweaters to amigurumi, my hands are constantly occupied with 'thingmakery'.
Since 2009 I have been on Ravelry, a community of fibercrafters from around the world. I once heard someone say "it's not worth making if it's not on Ravelry" and this holds pretty much true. You can find my profile here: www.ravelry.com/people/kobuu. My project page is kept up to date with most everything that I've worked on or am working on.
You can also see my work in published books!! While I didn't design the garments, I did make some of the samples being worn by the lovely models. The designer, Shannon Mullet-Bowlsby, makes some amazing size-perfect patterns!! Check out the books here:
In the Spring of 2019, I signed a contract with Noliknits as a member of their production team. You can click on their name and check out their stock of super cute hats!
Every day is an adventure and I'm always looking to cast on just one more thing. Should you have any questions or special requests, please feel free to contact me!
