Haha, local? Are you talking geographically, or referring to hipforums? I live in Europe Oh and I can't make tams either, (well actually I've never tried). If you're over the other side of the pond, default answer is etsy.com, or make one yourself. There were a few other people on here that used to make some, but I don't think they're active anymore. Chemigals or knittinchick?-I think you can find knittinchick (whisper) on dreadlocktruth.
You should do it anyways DV, it's fun and not that hard. There are a ton of tuturials online. I can make simple hats and stuff, but for now I just do it for myself.
I could make a tam but hate doing it, takes too long. I made one for SE and he supposedly liked it and was going to send some old tams in return but never got around to it.
