Journée Tote Bag
For a couple of years after completing my college degree I had fallen out of the habit of reading just for fun, but lately I have gotten my old enthusiasm back in a big way! I remember having my head buried in a book whenever the slightest opportunity arose growing up, and that love for … Continue reading Journée Tote Bag
Quetzal Hood
In the earlier days of my design ambitions I experimented with several kinds of aesthetics, from basic crochet garment staples like armwarmers and simple hats to the dippy-est of hippie drips 😉 I still draw inspiration from many places, but it's fair to say my niche is in everything mythical and magical. Something just feels … Continue reading Quetzal Hood
Gnome Bonnet
I've written many times over the years about my favorite winter hat design, the Gnome Toboggan, a pattern which is available for free here on my blog or as an ad-free, portable PDF download. I love this design so much that I even made a stitch-by-stitch video pattern for it! You see, just about every … Continue reading Gnome Bonnet
Sassafras Pixie Belt

Anyway this post is mostly just pretty pictures of my newest Pixie Belt including links to my Pixie Pocket Belt tutorial guide which is free on my blog! This gorgeous Sassafras Pixie … Continue reading Sassafras Pixie Belt
Rag Doll Elf Coat
I can't believe I'm FINALLY posting about this completed project!

But I've never attempted … Continue reading Rag Doll Elf Coat

As soon as I saw it I knew I'd have to make one for myself. You can get the Trapper's Bucket Hat, the Ushanka … Continue reading Ushanka & Trapper Pattern Pack
MF Field Guide: Searching for Yarn Substitutes
Hello from the Morale Fiber Headquarters! Back in the fall of last year when Lion Brand discontinued one of their most unique and beautiful yarns, I knew I'd have to do a hunt for something adequate to replace it. Not only do I use Shawl in a Ball / Shawl in a Cake as the … Continue reading MF Field Guide: Searching for Yarn Substitutes
Batty Kitty Sweater Pattern
Okay so KNOWING how serious I am about the business of coziness, cuteness, and loads of texture - is it surprising that I went back to one of my fuzziest projects drafted six years ago to bring it into my collection of full-pattern crochet designs? No it isn't. You can get this sweet, fun new … Continue reading Batty Kitty Sweater Pattern
Mandala Tam Re-release
Or is it a re-re-release? Since I drafted the written pattern for this design in 2015 as a paid pattern, the Mandala Tam has been through several iterations and edits, but I'm so pleased with the latest version. Having offered it for free since 2017, it's time this favorite design of mine returned to PDF … Continue reading Mandala Tam Re-release
