It's always really satisfying when a faithful old free pattern gets it's own PDF version! The Leafy Tam hats have definitely been faithful for me, whether I need a cozy cap to keep my hair from freezing in wintertime or I just need to turn a skein of colorful soft yarn into something cute and...

Ahhh, the Lotus Duster. In a lot of ways I consider this design my "breakthrough" - when it was first published for free on my blog it was what really got people noticing Morale Fiber, and it was also a huge lesson for me in how to write, grade, and lay out written patterns. 6... Continue Reading →
The Lotus Mandala Vest PDF pattern just got updated - the new standard contact info is there, plus a few tweaks to the pattern including tips on sizing. Since this is a "free sized" design I wanted to cover as much as I could about making it bigger or smaller. The PDF has also gone... Continue Reading →

Ah April! When the unpredictable (but sometimes actually nice) weather and the hope of longer, warmer days makes us all feel a little like fools, hopefully in a good way. For me, April usually marks the turning point of my business focus when I transition from winter projects to summer ones - and the first... Continue Reading →
So approximately 8 billion years ago, my very first post here on Morale Fiber Blog was the free pattern for the Lotus Mandala Throw Blanket. It's a doily-esque scrappy project that I originally designed in 2014, published for the first time in 2015, and is the predecessor to my now-popular Lotus Vest and Lotus Duster... Continue Reading →
