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 →

Since then, it's been on my list to create some modified versions, especially one that is better for curvier busts 🙂 Update! 7/17/2019: This modification and... Continue Reading →
Mandala Tam Free Pattern
The free pattern I'm offering today is a rework of a design I've been using for ages! I started making these netted caps way back when I had white girl dreads, to keep my hair out of my way while traveling. After I got rid of the locks, I kept using this style of hat... Continue Reading →
