I have been away from Steemit a lot lately, but rest assured my needlework never sits idle for long.
I am about to launch what I hope will become a regular feature here in my blog world. Knitting Myself Back Together. A view into my mind while I knit the fabric of my life. Follow and watch for it soon!
Patches are a staple in my studio. These are as good as sold gold. I have a hard time building stock for events unless I let other tasks fall aside.
I needed a few busy but productive days to keep my hands busy while my mind chewed on some homestead things. I happily have enough stock built up that I am finally going to open the Etsy shop I have been sitting on.
Sketching and designing never end. Here is a quick preview pic of a new patch I am working on.
These Grateful Dead designs I tend to favor are common use items. I personally sketch my own patterns while looking at an image I like. I need this connection to the process.
This next project is inspired by 
I went into my archives and chose a cute little pixie hat pattern to knit.
Knitting for the Littles is one of my niches. I am always working on new patterns to put into production. As I knit this one I am also making a crochet version.

And last but not least, the white hat is still waiting for dying...
... The poke berries I wish to try are not yet ripe.
Back soon with more!
