The High Weaver’s Entry: Welcome to SoftSprout Designs

Greetings, adventurers, dreamers, and seekers of magic!
If you’ve found your way to this corner of the forest, it’s likely because you believe—as I do—that the world could use a little more whimsy. Today, I am officially opening the doors to the SoftSprout Designs Journal, a space where we will explore the intersection of handmade artistry, fantasy, and the intentional magic of everyday life.
Who is this High Weaver of Magic?
My name is Erin Golding, and I am the weaver behind the hook at SoftSprout Designs. As a fiber artist my mission is to provide more than just "items." I create high-quality, handmade familiars and wearables that serve as tools for your own personal magic.
Whether you are preparing for a Renaissance Faire, heading to a comic con, or simply looking for a companion to guard your desk, I craft each piece with a single goal in mind: to make you feel like you can conjure spells.
What to Expect in 2026
This year is a significant chapter for SoftSprout Designs. As I step into a new level of growth, I want to bring you along for the journey. Every week in this journal, you can expect topics such as:
Behind the Magic: A look at my creative process, from selecting the perfect "mana-infused" yarns to the final stitch.
Adventurer’s Guides: Practical tips for styling your wearable dragons, surviving conventions, and prepping for the Ren Faire season.
Rituals of Flow: Insight into how I balance the weaver’s mindset with the emotional peace required to create.
First Look at New Familiars: Be the first to meet the newest creatures ready to fly to new homes.
Join the Circle
SoftSprout Designs exists because of this incredible community of witches, gamers, and fantasy lovers. My purpose is to spread joy, peace, and magic through the art of crochet.
