I am currently working on a "quarantine blanket". Something to keep my hands and mind busy as we continue to be under lockdown. It was announced today that the "stay at home order" will be extended until May 15th. So we will be spending Adeline's birthday, Mother's Day, and my birthday at home, after already not being able to celebrate Easter or my father-in-law's birthday with family.
*sigh*
Anyways, enough of my dreary thoughts. Here are some very talented fiber artists, including crocheters, knitters, and weavers.
Petals To Picots (Kara)

I come across many different crochet blogs while perusing Pinterest and Ravelry. Petals to Picots has been one of my favorites to follow for quite some time now.
Repeat Crafter Me

Much like Petals To Picots, Repeat Crafter Me is another crochet blog I have been following for years. I would use so many patterns from both of these lovely ladies if only I had more hours in the day to devote to crocheting.

One of my more recent crochet discoveries, Meghan Makes Do has the prettiest patterns and even sells finished products on her website. I used her Mabel Blanket pattern for Oliver's baby blanket.

Unique crochet patterns and imaginative photos, it's always fun seeing Ashlee's images pop up in my Instagram feed.
Morale Fiber (Regina Weiss)

Bohemian, fanciful, and quirky, I love Regina's patterns! I tried to make her Lotus Duster one time after drooling over it for ages, but I don't think my yarn was the correct gauge, and so I ended up having to take it apart. I was so sad! One of these days though I will try it again and at last make the hippie sweater of my dreams. Click here to see the Lotus Duster.
Clare Mountain-Manipon

I sigh every time I see one of Clare's knitting patterns. I sigh because they are beautiful and because I wish so much that I understood knitting enough to make one of her gorgeous sweaters.
Denim and Rain Fibers (Sarah)

Sarah creates the prettiest patterns and I love how she chooses colors for her projects! I would definitely make her Movie Night Slipper Socks if I knew how to knit.
Mini Swells (Alejandra Croes)

Macrame has seen a major resurgence in recent years. I have seen many different interpretations of this fiber art, but Alejandra of Mini Swells has held my attention for quite some time. Her pieces are astounding because they are gorgeous and sometimes massive! She is so talented!
Sun Woven (Erin Barrett)

Based in one of my favorite cities (Charleston, South Carolina) Erin creates such beautiful weavings (and a few other special items). I have never woven anything (besides an unfortunate attempt to weave a rug using a giant piece of cardboard as a loom; it didn't go well) so I am intrigued by how bits of fiber can be turned into something so solid and beautiful.
