I loooooooove faux fur (and real fur when I can get it thrifted) so I happily bought a lot of Lion Brand's new Go For Faux yarn when it hit my local hobby store shelves, and have already used it in some of my new fall designs. The Thick 'n' Quick version is so bulky... Continue Reading →
Alpaca Handspun Wrap
Forgive me, fiber darlings, as the golden falling walnut leaves and the true approach of autumn sends me into paroxysms of nostalgia - you see, I've completed a very long personal fiber art project, and will not hesitate to use it as an excuse to wax sentimental 😉 Translation: This is a long personal reflection...

Video Game Guy Backpack Tutorial
Let's say for the sake of imagination that there's a story featuring an adventurous youth and his acerbic canine best friend, who live in a slightly macabre and trippy video game world and have adventures. We'll call it "Adventuring Friends." I think that in that world, they'd probably have a sentient portable video game console.... Continue Reading →
Basic Bikini Cup Tutorial
One of the very first things I tried my hand at when I began crafting more complex crochet projects was the bikini top. It seemed like such a doable project, in a relatively short amount of time, and for great rewards - something totally cute to wear that I MADE! Well, once I started I... Continue Reading →
Teddy Bear Onesie
The craze for animal-themed full-body pyjamas here in America has mostly passed my wardrobe by, but I have to admit that when I saw a fuzzy, teddy bear version with shorts and a hood while online shopping I thought it would look awefully cute. The problem was that the product was on one of those... Continue Reading →
T-Shirt Rug Video Tutorial
Hi everyone! Like many out there in America right now, I'm scrambling to catch up with a world that was turned upside-down by COVID-19 virtually overnight. I know that there is a lot of hype out there, but I'm taking my responsibility seriously and I hope you do too - I am practicing social distancing... Continue Reading →
Sundogs Throw
Recently as I was attempting to cram coax yarn into my shelves while my friend Arika looked on and giggled, I got inspired to do a little stash-busting. Instead of continuing to struggle, I threw out some spare skeins out on the floor and together we crafted an eye-pleasing sequence of colors just for the... Continue Reading →
Winter Projects
Just a quick photoshoot of a few projects I've finished recently - or, sort of finished. The vest is of course the Lotus Duster, not yet with sleeves, which I am making for my Lotus Duster Video Tutorial series on Youtube! This is the Duster after Part 5 is completed. The actual video tutorial for... Continue Reading →
Forest Guide Hat
I debated with myself for a long time about what to call this fantastical creature hat. In the end, I chose "Forest Guide" because "Three Eyed Antlered Inter-dimensional Fox Spirit Guide" seemed too long. Whatever you call it, this new design is available for FREE here in this blog post or as a downloadable, printable,... Continue Reading →
The Stump
Long ago, in a galaxy far far away, I used to write blog posts of themed crochet projects. These Pattern Galleries were mostly links to actual patterns, but occasionally contained inspiration-only images. It was there that I first idea'd a crocheted stump ottoman. In the Pouf Collection, which I so aptly described as" Poufs, ottomans,... Continue Reading →
