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 →
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 →
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 →
Acorn the Fawn
After a full year of knitting this project, I spent 6 hours in May assembling this gorgeous fawn plushie designed by Claire Garland! I was determined to finally take my baby to a festival with me to show off all the hard work I put in. I am not the most seasoned knitter, however I... Continue Reading →

My art has always incorporated lots and lots of recycling - for so many reasons. I love to use scrap... Continue Reading →
Babushka Cowl
At least once per year I chance upon some ultra squishy treasure trove of bulky or super bulky weight yarn on clearance - usually in the summer. The super soft and extra thicc strands entice me as I run my fingers through the inviting tangle of coziness and I inevitably end up buying a huge... Continue Reading →
Another Mild November

Fortune Teller’s Shawl
Even though the original idea was a very straightforward and simple openwork shawl, I pulled in a lot of unconventional design elements to create my newest full length premium pattern! Inspired by a love song from one of my favorite albums, the Fortune Teller's Shawl is a versatile crochet project that contains plenty of hidden... Continue Reading →
Spiral & Novella Updates and Sale
Sometimes I get artists' block. Sometimes, I get artists' block and then try to push through it and then dive-bomb into burnout. That's about where I've been recovering from for most of 2022 - after the pandemic and all the life-y things that happened since, I feel like a crispy plant that's just starting to...
