Turkey Feather Hat
Many months have past since my last post, and life has brought me back around to this blog. With a fresh look, and a name change, I am turning over a new leaf in my passion for making cloth!  From finishing woven textiles, with a beautiful, local provenance, I have moved into designing knitting patterns.  I started with a baby hat pattern, made for a co-worker at my local bakery.  When the pandemic hit, I found myself at home - a bit stunned from the state of affairs. For therapy, I used Stitchfiddle to make some colorwork patterns. In fact, I got carried away and had over 40 designs, when I realized that I had better knit some samples. I asked friends if they might be willing to do the same. So - I am well on the path toward offering some of these patterns to the world. I have been knitting samples, reworking patterns, and getting advise from dear friends in the pattern-making world. Here is a toddler-sized sample of one of my designs. There will be four sizes in each pattern.  I will post links to a new Etsy shop and website when I get my first pattern finalized.
