Waste Not
If it costs something to rent a spot at the Winter Market on Main Street, then Heather won't be able to have her own booth, but her knitted scarves and stocking caps can be found mixed in with other artisanal crafts for sale. (Her pieces are distinguished from the others by a paper tag cut into a scallop-shell shape. The booth owners note each time her items sell, and at the end of the day, Heather collects her portion of the profit -- a fifty-fifty split. If the sellers didn't accept her wares, she's sure that she wouldn't sell a single piece, so she doesn't mind.)

Each scarf or cap is quite soft to the touch and holds warmth easily. None of them are in solid colors, as the yarn used to knit them has subtle gradations of color and little flecks of dark in the lighter colors, or light in the dark shades. And, for those who can sense magic, these rather humble knitted items might ping that sense.

Heather has been testing out various materials for remaking her merrow cap, with no success so far. She uses her innate magic to change things with ephemeral substance into something more solid. (The sound of a cat's footfall, perhaps...) But each 'failed' material still results in a lot of yarn. And having grown up in poverty, Heather is not one to waste what can be reused. Thus, scarves and hats for others.

They're not intended to transform anyone or cause mischief (but if you say they do, why not! I'm not your boss, and if you'd have fun with it, go for it...) because she's been careful to unpick any intentional spells out of the weaving.

Other than the Winter Market, Heather has also placed a sign in the window of her house: Need Winter Accessories? Inquire Within - Free!

She doesn't want to shut out anyone who might need some assistance in keeping warm. And if you visit her at her house, you might get the opportunity to pick a unique color combination for your item...
