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 →
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...

"Long before any numerals or mathematics, when human language was first naming the world, trees offered their measures - of distance, of height, of diameter, of space.

True to form, I've circled back around to reworking an older design at almost the exact anniversary of it's original release. Five years ago in January I released the Boho Fringe Poncho as my tenth paid pattern.

I've always loved the way that fog reveals through tiny glimmering water droplets the cobwebs that weave together the grasses of a field. These little intricate fiber blobs go unnoticed until the water reflection lights them up, revealing a tiny world of complexity. It was after these shining, tensile treasures that I named my newest... Continue Reading →
Merry Day of the Dead! Today's offering is a brand new PDF crochet pattern that I had (ahem) originally scheduled to release in August. Ha ha! Life. No worries here though because the Daydreamer Poncho is SUPER versatile as a layering piece and looks just as stunning worn over long sleeves and outerwear as it... Continue Reading →
When I began drafting this post over a year ago, it was to take notes on my first attempt at some of the beautiful and colorful knit ruanas I had seen floating around online. Unfortunately for me, that first attempt (which took over a year for me to finish!) just didn't turn out. It happens.... Continue Reading →
I've been dying to design an asymmetrical circular poncho for a long time - in fact, it was over a year ago that I started on the first prototype for this new pattern. After much testing, tweaking, and perfecting, the Ida Shawl is finally ready for debut! You can get it in my Ravelry Pattern... Continue Reading →
