NEW Scheepjes Metropolis Cutie Pie Colour Pack

I already can’t wait to show you all what I’ve designed for this pack. Hint: it’s a simple yet engaging, beautiful project. but first, let me spoil you with pics of the Metropolis Colour Pack by Scheepjes.

This Colour Pack is destined to become the prototype for a design that you all have been asking me for for years! Do the words floor tile project mean anything to you? Well, maybe not… but I promise this is one of my most requested patterns based on sneak peeks that I have given here and there since February 2016.

Before I reveal a sneak peek, check out the Metropolis Colour Pack!

Information (All the deets!)

When you receive this awesome pack, it has a double window with a “side A” and a “side B” as you can see in the photos above. It looks kind of like a briefcase. But a lot more fun… Squeeeee at all that color!

Here is how the pack looks when you open the sides and lay it out flat.

How incredible is this collection of colors? It is beyond lush and will satisfy any rainbow hound or neutrals fiend. Plus, as a side note, this yarn is so soft for a special baby blanket, and there are plenty of shades that will suit.

More thoughts on Metropolis Yarn – my review

My WIP Sneak Peek

These tiny 10g colors are completely gorgeous, and incite inspiration like you would not believe. I knew I had to use it for my floor tile inspired project though as it was just begging to be used in a WIP fan favorite design.

Take another look at these lush cuties – I could not help but take a zillion pics!

For my blanket, I will combine this colour pack with some full size balls as the background. I just loved this light heathered grey as a nice companion to any of the colors.

Floor Tile Inspiration

You guys, I am inspired by floor tiles on a daily basis.. When I tell you i am *obsessed*… So what is this old 2016 WIP that crafters tell me they think about all the time and neeeeed the pattern ASAP?

Let me show you:

My goal is to remake the blanket in these original colors to be true to the inspiration, but for now, I aim to show off the gorgeous Metropolis range.

Ta-Daaaa!

We do not yet have a name, but here she is! I re-worked the original square for ease of construction, and for simplicity. If you would believe, there are only like 10 yarn ends to weave in this square! And I just worked over them 🙂

Also, I think I’ll show this version as an alternative option, because it’s very easy to keep up with only one contrast color per square, but I actually want to make the blanket with the fifth and sixth band of contrast color as a different shade.

Basically the first four (and the seventh!) bands of contrast color would be made in a one shade, and the fifth and sixth would be in a second contrast color. It’s a bit to keep up with, but I think it will add so much more depth, and you have to cut the yarn there at those color bands anyway.
