Slaving away over sporrans is hardly fitting work for a knight! Though designing sporrans and overseeing the manufacturing process - now that's something more fitting!

I'm really blown away by the quality and elegance you managed to instill in something so simple! If you keep turning out quality pieces like this, you may quickly find yourself up to your eyeballs in work - government contract or no!

I'm really blown away by the quality and elegance you managed to instill in something so simple!

That's a excelent way of putting it! This sporran, though simple and heavily inspired by a military pattern that has been well known for decades, oozes it's own special vibe... though I doubt I could know just how much that's true, before I have it in hand.

That's what's so much a shame about the decline of hand craftsmanship. Two items that might look identical from fifteen yards away can be worlds apart from three yards away, all based on the craftsmanship.

And speaking of craftsmanship... My bonnet from Ryan just arrived!
Unfortunately, his sporran has had some delays in the postal system, so he should get it today or tomorrow.

Ryan was awesome! I'm picky AND indecisive (what a combo, huh?) and Ryan found just the right colour for me.

This colour is the actual colour of the yarn, NOT dyed in!

It's wonderfully made, tightly felted with no sign of the knitting. The wool is thick, soft and very breathable.

I'll definitely be getting another Ryan Ross custom bonnet in the future, as I believe this may end up being my go-to hat for foul weather.

All I have left to say is:

If you don't have a Ryan Ross bonnet, you NEED a Ryan Ross bonnet!

Thanks again for the awesome trade!
