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 @violetmed and a post she made a few weeks ago about a vintage pattern.
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.
I tinkered with some ideas for thank you notes. I had fun trying to figure out how to make them fold.
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!

I am still curious how you will dye your hat :-D And the parallel knitting/crocheting experiment looks fun too.

I have to admit that the step of dying will be brand new to me... I will be homeschooling this one... Lol... I hope to share the journey here with all its trips and bumbles.
The trick today is to finish the two hats before I jump on to the next creative adventure. I most definitely use Steemit to push projects thru... I am learning to finish things.
Thanks for stopping in a minute to visit. Hugs
