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 […]

I made this scarf using two beautiful colors of Malabrigo Yarn – Mecha. The dark blue is 43 Plomo and the […]

Independence Day 2018 (with Stars & Stripes)

Posted on July 6, 2018May 30, 2019by Carmen
Happy Independence Day 2018

For those that live in the United States, I hope you had a wonderful July 4th celebration. It was a good time to spend with family, concentrating on the positive. It was incredibly hot on Wednesday here in Wisconsin – close to 100°F but we also had extremely high humidity. The combination of the two […]

Pattern release – Crandall the Cranky Crab

Posted on April 13, 2017July 2, 2019by Carmen
Crandall the Cranky Crab

sigh Crandall. He makes me both proud and nostalgic at the same time. You see, this tiny little crab was one of my first designs. Not THE first, but pretty close. He’s waited so patiently for 8 long years to be officially introduced to the world. Or maybe it wasn’t so patiently. Perhaps that is […]

Pattern release – Heaven and Earth Shawl

Posted on November 10, 2016March 21, 2021by Carmen
heaven-and-earth-shawl-closeup

I know I’ve been quiet lately. Work has been insane, life in general has felt chaotic and overwhelming, and to top it off I’ve had to put several recent designs in “time out” because they haven’t been behaving. Fortunately, this was not one of those designs! I’ve been in love ever since conception and it’s […]

Pattern release – Ribbed Fingerless Mitts

The building where I work is less than 10 years old, and the office space where I work is even more recent – less than 3 years.  Regardless, they seem to have a tough time getting and keeping a good temperature for us.  Most of the time, even in the summer, I’m freezing.  While I […]

Moving Forward Cowl | ASimpleHomestead.com

I’m a day late this week as it’s Tuesday, not Monday! 🙂 This design was a pivotal moment for me. It was December 2015 and I was trying to decided if I really wanted to get serious about designing or just let it go. I followed the advice in a movie :-). No, not the “Let […]

Pattern release – Granny Toy Hammock

Granny Toy Hammock | ASimpleHomestead.com

Another pattern that came out of necessity.  Like a lot of children, our daughter has an abundance of stuffed animals that are usually sitting on the floor.  I know you can buy toy hammocks but of course I would rather make one. The hardest part is determining the size needed to fit between window and […]

Windblown Leaf Cabled Hat | ASimpleHomestead.com

I know it seems a bit early to be thinking about cold weather and warm hats, but in my opinion you can never start planning soon enough. This leaf hat was designed in late 2014 for a Designers’ Challenge. The challenge was:Object: hat/beanieTheme: the woodsTechnique: cables There are tiny cables along the edges of the leaf […]

‘Tis the season for farmer’s markets and other outdoor venues. What better way to visit these events and help the environment than to make your own reusable shopping bag! This lightly textured bobble bag is made from a cotton/acrylic blend yarn to offer strength and stability when carrying heavier loads. It will stretch to make […]
