Hi, yarny friend! Today I’m going to share photos from a trip that I took last week, which ended up being one of the most fun things I did in 2022.
I went and visited the Jimmy Beans Wool HQ in conjunction with the announcement of the Scheepjes Colour Lab CAL, and I had a wonderful time! Let me tell you all about it from start to finish. We have a lot to cover, so grab a cuppa and settle in.

Hello, lovely crafter! Today I finally get to share something that I have been keeping under wraps for the past few years, if you can believe it. Well, now it’s time to let the cat out of the bag: I’m the designer for the upcoming Scheepjes CAL!
If you’re a member in the Scheepjes Facebook group, or just a Scheepjes Yarns groupie in general, you probably know that they host a huge CAL or KAL every year in the groups. The last three CALs were Ubuntu by Dedri Uys, Rozeta by Tatsiana Kupryianchyk, and d’Histoire Naturelle by Christina Hadderingh. To join the ranks of these talented designers is an honor.
Let me share all of the details with you!

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!
