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 →
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 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.
