The Skein Deep

A little glimpse into the thoughts and stories behind the pattern.

There’s always more to a crochet pattern than just the finished piece—the ideas, the process, the samples, the challenges, and the people who helped bring it to life.

This is just a small part of the conversation. Want to hear the whole story?

Sharing with you the whole creation process of my PNINA SHAWL.

Every crochet pattern begins with a single idea—and this is the sto...

08/07/2026

There was a time when I thought the Pnina Shawl would never be finished.

What started as a simple idea became years of experimenting with stitches, changing yarns, frogging entire sections, rewriting the pattern, and trying again. Looking back, I realized that this shawl wasn't just something I designed—it became part of my journey as a crochet pattern designer.

In my FIRST episode of **Behind the Fiber**, I'll be sharing the journey through 10 questions.

These preview questions are just the beginning. Behind every finished pattern is a story that no one sees—the doubts, the excitement, the tiny victories, and the lessons learned with every stitch.

I'm so excited to finally share this journey with you.

Episode 01 of Behind the Fiber premieres on July 8 at 8:00 PM (Philippine Time) on my YouTube channel, Dee Does Fiber.

I hope you'll join me as I share the real story behind the Pnina Shawl. Maybe you'll see a little of your own creative journey in mine.

🧶 New episode coming soon.

I'd love to hear from you—if you could ask me one question about the Pnina Shawl or my design process, what would it be? Leave it in the comments, and I might answer it in a future episode.

Something new is coming... and I can't wait to share it with you.

Every crochet piece has a story long before the first stitch is made. Behind every pattern are sketches, swatches, frogged attempts, moments of doubt, and those magical "aha!" moments that make it all worth it.

I'm so excited to officially launch **Behind the Fiber: A Crochet Podcast by Dee Does Fiber**!

**Episode 1:** *From Idea to Pattern: The PNINA Shawl Journey*

Join me as I take you behind the scenes of how the PNINA Shawl came to life—from a simple spark of inspiration to a finished crochet pattern. Whether you're a crocheter, a fellow designer, or simply someone who loves hearing the stories behind handmade creations, this episode is for you.

**Premieres:** **Wednesday, July 8**
**8:00 PM (Philippine Time)**

✨ New yarns, new possibilities! 🧶💕

Nothing beats the excitement of a fresh yarn haul! I finally got my hands on some beautiful new skeins and treated myself to a new crochet hook too. Of course, I couldn’t resist giving them a little test run right away! 😉

There’s something so satisfying about finding that perfect glide between hook and yarn. Can’t wait to turn these beauties into something special. 👀

What if crochet was never just about the stitches?

For me, it never was.

Every project begins long before the first loop of yarn—through inspiration gathered from everyday life, sketches filled with possibilities, textures that spark ideas, and stories waiting to be told.

Today, I'm excited to share a new chapter with you:

Here, you'll find the moments behind the making:
✨ Design and pattern-making journeys
✨ Studio diaries and creative processes
✨ Handmade fashion and styling
✨ Fiber art inspiration

Every project begins with an idea—a sketch, a texture, a color palette, a fleeting inspiration. Through yarn and hook, those ideas slowly become something tangible, wearable, and meaningful.

In this video, I invite you into my creative space: the shelves of yarn, the planning pages filled with possibilities, and the quiet moments where handmade pieces come to life one stitch at a time.

Whether you're a crocheter, maker, fiber artist, or simply someone who appreciates handmade craftsmanship, I'm glad you're here.
