New release: Icy Textures hat and cowl

Posted on May 24, 2019May 30, 2019by Carmen

Well, one of the new websites, ASH Fiber Arts may still be in transition but I would say it’s more than 50% up and working. I’m still having the new logo worked on and I need to move the remaining shop items over, plus there are some tweaks yet to be made. However, I just […]

March 2019 homestead update

Posted on April 5, 2019April 5, 2019by Carmen

March was a crazy month for our family!! There were five weekends and with all the running around we did, it’s not surprising that I was sick one weekend and Papa the next. We “just” had colds, but they were pretty nasty. I’m just thankful we seem to have avoided the influenza that’s in our […]

Posted on March 22, 2019July 2, 2019by Carmen

It’s been a while since I released a new pattern, but I’m rather excited about this one. It’s called Winter Doldrums Scarf as I started designing it during our Polar Vortex spell this winter. I made this scarf using two beautiful colors of Malabrigo Yarn – Mecha. The dark blue is 43 Plomo and the […]

Brown to Vortex (January update)

Posted on February 1, 2019February 2, 2021by Carmen
Jan 2019 snowfall

January went by in a blur!  Granted, I spent the first two weeks under extreme stress trying to prepare for a major install on the 12th, but still…!! Basically, to me this past month was all about stress, weather and crafting.  The latter is the only part that hasn’t been stressful. Anyone living in the […]

Hearts Aplenty Hat and Mittens - ASimpleHomestead Designs

It’s that time of year again: my favorite event has started! No, it’s not Black Friday. Ugh. I don’t like crowds – or even shopping in general. Unless it’s for fiber-related items 🙂 I happy to be one of over 349 (!!) lucky knit and crochet designers that are participating in this event. If you’re […]

Abigail Hat, Gradient mittens, and a shop update

Abigail Hat - Carmen Nuland

Lots of major happenings in the past couple of weeks, but things have been so crazy I haven’t had time to tell you about them all!! First of all, I want to just mention how terribly cold and snowy it is here today.  Yes, SNOW. And ice. Enough to make it super-slippery early this morning.  […]

In review… July 2018

Posted on July 21, 2018February 2, 2021by Carmen
July 2018 garden harvest

I know, this counts as two posts in one week! However, I didn’t want to detract from my new Mourning Dove Shawl design – and yet, there is so much more I wanted to talk about! It’s the middle of summer and yet I just finished a bulky cowl for this winter. I was making […]

Hearts Aplenty Hat and Mittens - ASimpleHomestead Designs

They are finally here! The Hearts Aplenty hat and mittens patterns… just in time for warmer weather (as I write this while sitting outdoors!). Oh well. In my opinion, it’s never the wrong time of year to make hats or mittens.  They’re great portable projects for the months when you’re traveling more.  And this way […]

Dye Monkey visits Wisconsin (and a FO, finally!)

Owlet set kit

Today I had a reason to revisit some of my blog posts from 2013 and 2014. It made me realize I was much more proficient (wordy?) back then! For some reason, I just haven’t been able to find the time or energy lately to post about happenings around here. But I have plans to change […]
