Hello, lovely crafter! Today I want to show you what I have been working on while everyone is busy with the Colour Lab CAL Part 3. First, I want to show off a few of the many, many WIPs that you can find in the Scheepjes International Facebook Group, and then I will reveal my project. And here’s a hint: it is the Scheepjes Scrumptious demo that I’ve been working up alongside you! A couple of weeks ago, I shared my Whirl version of the Colour Lab CAL. You can head to that post to see how it’s been working up!

New Project: Colour Lab CAL Crochet Blanket in Whirl Yarn!

Hello, lovely crafter! Today I want to show you what I have been working on while everyone is busy with the Colour Lab CAL Part 1 and Part 2. First, I want to show off a few of the many, many WIPs that you can find in the Scheepjes International Facebook Group, and then I will reveal my project. And here’s a hint: it is made using the beloved Whirl yarn! If you’ve been hanging around my website lately, you have seen the Colour Lab CAL blanket that I made, below, probably a million times. But, there was a voice in my head a while back that said I just had to see it made in Whirl yarn! I just love the color-fade, and I know so many crafters love it, too. Not to mention the fuzz-buzz – squeeeeee!

Hello, lovely crafter! 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 of the Scheepjes Colour Lab CAL with you! We start on January 11th, so get ready! 🙂

Hello, lovely Colour Lab CALer! Welcome to the Tips and Tricks page. This page is full of all the information you should know before you begin, and it’s a great place to come if you’re ever stuck during the crochet-along. The official Scheepjes Tips and Tricks PDF is also very handy, and can be found on the Scheepjes website and as a file in the Scheepjes Facebook groups, where the Colour Lab CAL is hosted. Please read through this entire post, as you may have questions that are answered within. Note: If you work out any of these photo tutorials, it is best to use stash remnants, so as not to break into any of your kit yarn just yet. This page has photo tutorials in US Terms. If you would prefer to see them in UK Terms, click here! Related Links As these sites become live, I will hyperlink them.

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.
