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 →
It's a wrench to announce the reason for my latest pattern update & sale: one of my favorite yarns EVER is going out of production!

Happy April, fiber fans! I've been updating my crochet pattern files bit by bit, some with larger tweaks and some with smaller tweaks - today I've finished going over my beloved Freewheelin' Poncho pattern, a mesh poncho worked with an oversized hook to give it lots of graceful movement, and a fringed edge and keyhole...

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.
