MotherofPurl update and Directions

Hey Ya’ll! it’s been a while since I’ve made a blog post.

So, here’s a little info to fill you in on what’s been happening.

I am pregnant with my second child, and due in early April. This has encouraged me to turn my attention towards my passion.

So, as 2020 rolls around you will be seeing a lot more content come from MotherofPurl.

especially in video format! so, you can subscribe to my youtube channel to be alerted first when those videos start rolling out!

I’ll be starting (by request) comprehensive yarn reviews, I’ll be working on creating and curating my first online class, Designing, and finishing new patterns/ designs for publication, and one of my designs will be published in a book!

to get the ball rolling i’ve created a Patreon to help fund my new endeavors, and to sustain my already existing creative work.

so, If you’ve been looking for another way to engage with MotherofPurl, Patreon would be a great way to do just that.

I am offering tiered levels of support. for the lowest teir you will get first access to all my designs, sneak peeks and updates for what’s happening at MotherofPurl, discount codes and other special goodies of that nature.

For the mid level tier patrons will receive one pattern sent to them monthly and everything else previously mentioned. if you’re looking to collect all my patterns this is a great way to get them automatically sent to you.

for the highest tier patrons will receive all acesss to my online courses as they come out, and everything else in the precious tiers.

since I just started this patreon, I am offering a FREE MotherofPurl Sticker to the first 50 patrons! I already have a couple patrons, so head over if you want this exclusive sticker!


In 2020 I have ambitions to explore more selling of handspun yarn, and some hand dyed yarn as well. I’ve been experimenting with natural dyes and have been successful with some lovely colors.

another ambition is to explore to possibility of creating a podcast.

as that unfolds ya’ll will be with me every step of the way.

I appreciate all of you, and look forward to connecting again soon.


Oh and! before I forget! I created a private group on facebook for people who have downloaded any motherofpurl pattern.

This group is for people to talk to each other about the patterns, share their wips and their modifications. this platform will also be a place to communicate with me directly to get pattern support.

so, if you’re on facebook, be sure to join that group!
