New Patterns and More Coming!

It takes a little while but my collection of Patterns is growing! Today is a cool day for me -

Thanks to the Treasure Chest Amigurumi Pattern Giveaway, I've been able to reach more of you who might not have known about my creations before, and I'm really excited to see

what you all create with the free pattern. (If you tag it with #SoFPRollingTumblers , I'll be able to see what you make!)

My progress in 2022 so far has been great, but not quite what I expected. The Mushroom hat pattern has been tested and published, and is now for sale. The "CHOMP" hat pattern is actually written up, but I decided I wanted to come up with a few more options for creatures you can make with it, rather than just the two. My cosplay horns are delayed for the same reason - why publish only one look at a time? The additional two wearables are slightly stalled, but the improvements in the designs will be worth the wait! More cross stitch patterns and even kits will be joining what I offer soon as well.

I also got to learn some new tricks these past few weeks - Colorwork in short rows, which I started learning with the lovely tutorials at MyPicot.com (totally worth checking out, I'd say intermediate to advanced level, but maybe it's just hard for me to wrap my head around), and mosaic crochet, which turned out much easier than it looked at first (but still plenty intimidating!) The mosaic crochet led to what will eventually become a Crochet-along stitch sampler quilt, which I hope to have ready to go as a monthly updated project for 2023. If

that sounds up your alley, keep watching, Facebook and Discord groups will be starting soon!

Speaking of Discord groups, I've recently found a lovely group of friends through tiktok to brainstorm and vent with, and an idea born from that has resulted in the beginning of a new plushie pattern! These little creatures I like to call Seed Sprites, and in addition to an expanding set of variations, these will

come with lore and Stat blocks for Pathfinder and D&D games! I'm hoping to keep going with that, and I also have a second plushie species I coming for that, inspired by the antics of my mostly blind kitty - the Spider Cat!

what's going on, and with this I can get closer up. It's still a work in progress, but here's the first of the illustrations I've got planned.

If you've gotten this far, Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy everything from Stitches of Future Past!
