Heirloom Collection Blanket: My Latest Work in Progress

Published by

Hello, lovely! I recently got some yarn in the mail – always a joy! – and I just have to tell you about it. If you love Colour Crafter then you will love “Scrumptious”, this new yarn from Scheepjes! If you are working up the Colour Lab CAL, you might be trying out the Scrumptious Kit, and if so, you already know how plush and soft this yarn is. If you haven’t used it yet, I recommend giving it a shot!

I already have a plan in mind for this yarn, so I ordered specific colors, but of course, I have my Colour Lab CAL Scrumptious demo kit yarn as well, and I just might cook up a smaller project for my leftovers! For now, I wanted to show you the color palette for my upcoming blanket design using the Scrumptious yarn. Read to the end for a sneak peek at my work in progress!

Look out for this free pattern on March 3rd! Grab your yarn so you can be ready. Details below!

Updated Gumball Blanket: Now Featuring Continuous Join As-You-Go

Published by

Hey, lovely! I have a fun crochet project to share with you today in anticipation of Valentine’s Day! This month, I am focusing on getting back to my creative roots, since the debut post of my Creative Clarity series is about falling back in love with your art. I have felt a little out of touch with my art lately as I was working on a huge design, the Scheepjes Colour Lab CAL, and now that that project is off the ground, I turned to my planned project list, but nothing was calling my name.

Feeling super uninspired, I followed my own advice and reached back to the beginning of my creative journey to my Gumball Blanket design. It was the first blanket I ever designed! While I went over the pattern, I realized there were some improvements that I could make to the construction method, and so I decided to re-release the design as a second version, with a fresh color palette and an updated joining method for you.

This post is all about Gumball Blanket! Look for the free pattern, with step by step instructions and videos, plus the PDF version, available in UK and US Terms on Valentine’s Day.

Find the Gumball Blanket v2 Pattern PDF on Etsy and Ravelry! (Both US and UK Terms are included in the purchase.) Coming Valentine’s Day!
