That’s right, folks—I have not one, but two new patterns to share with you today! The first pattern isn’t technically new; release day was actually back in June, but between the craziness of Quiet Bay MKAL prep, a system glitch on LoveCrafts that held the pattern up for almost a month, and a general avalanche …
New! Find Me on Payhip
That’s right, folks—I’ve started a Payhip store! First, let me back up and explain some backstory. Fair warning—I’m going to break my general rule of not talking about industry drama (of which there is plenty) on this blog. If you get around at all in the online knitting community, you’ll most likely have heard about …
Pyrifolia Has Been Nominated for LoveCrafts’ Crochet Pattern of the Month!

Pattern Release—Crossings Earwarmer, Cowl, & Mitts
It seems I’m guilty of neglecting my crochet followers a bit. Since releasing my last crochet design in January of this year, I’ve released 6 knit patterns over 10 months. But I’m making amends now with three patterns in one—meet the Crossings set! This design has been bubbling away in the crochet lab for a …
