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.

With my first full length video tutorial under my belt, I forged ahead this week to create Part 2 of the Lotus Mandala series! It went much faster this time, because I had a better idea of how to make the video to flow and therefore (frankly) procrastinated less 😉 If you missed the release... Continue Reading →
Well, I'm excited to announce that my first full-length video tutorial is underway! Not that I haven't made videos before, but this is the first time I've filmed with the intent of capturing a whole pattern on video.
