Working On a Pastel Beauty

Published by

Hello, you! It has been a busy week here at CypressTextiles. My Creative Art Blanket Course is now available for pre-order, I launched my Dutch Rose Blanket CAL Reboot, and debuted my Time Traveller’s Blanket in the latest issue of YARN Bookazine. I also started working on a big blanket using all 191 or so of the demo hexies from my 2022 VVCAL, and I will be sharing that blanket in a blog post soon!

A couple of weeks ago I told you about a blanket that did not yet have a name, that I was working up using Scheepjes Organicon Yarn. (affiliate link)

Originally I thought this would be my 100th published blanket pattern, but then my Time Traveller’s Blanket pattern was published in YARN Bookazine, and that stole the crown of my 100th.

Well the unnamed Organicon blanket now has a name – and a few progress pics too. I’m super excited to show you, so read on!

The Time Traveller’s Blanket and YARN Bookazine, Issue 14: Expression

Published by

Looking for something new to crochet? Scheepjes Yarns has released their latest issue of YARN bookazine *, and it is so lush. Find this issue here at WoolWarehouse (affiliate link). Scroll down to the end of this post where once again, I revisit all of the contributions I have made to YARN Bookazine. YARN is one of the best fiber art publications out there. They’re perfect for a coffee table, and you can flip through them again and again.

Don’t forget, you can pre-order my upcoming Creative Art Blanket Course at a discounted price by clicking here!

EXPRESSION is this issue’s theme and the photography and projects are breathtaking. This issue is truly a stunner.

My contribution to YARN, Issue 14 is the “Time Traveller’s Blanket” and it features my signature style of mixing motifs and playing with geometry. Time Traveller’s Blanket was probably the most fun I have had designing a project.
