I love your projects. I want to mix different kinds of crafts too but haven't progressed very far. Interesting about getting g stuck--- the only impromptu project I've done is the Koigu mitered square scarf project in class with Rosemary. I just randomly picked colors, did different sized squares or triangles and an absolutely HUGE tassel at the triangle at each end of the scarf. It was such a liberating project-/ I just can't seem to pick up the freeform crochet yet-- maybe after I finish a few gifts I'm knitting and crocheting!!!
Sometimes it's just hard to take the plunge. Clearing the decks of WIPs is a good way to quiet the "chatter" of all those other projects. Maybe your freeform time is coming soon!
I haven't tried any improv quilting, but my husband wants to! :D He and I took a sewing class and a quilting class together last summer, and he has been doing some cool stuff! He just took a paper piecing class for his birthday and has lots of ideas for things he wants to do. I'll have to share these resources with him! Thanks!
Thanks so much, Maria! Most of the techniques in the freeform section are the same as the ones in the Organic Shawl class materials from the fiber fest. In the shawl, I made the borders longer, in this cowl, I made them short instead.

I just love that you two are so crafty and artistic!
The capelet cowl is beyond beautiful! Very inspiring!
