Scheepjes Colour Packs: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide

Published by

Hello, lovely crafter! Today, I want to give you information on how to find the Scheepjes Colour Packs, and what you can make with them. I have lots of patterns that use the packs, and there are many others out there as well. Update: The day I published this post, Scheepjes launched a new colour pack! So I’ve added it in at the start of the post – enjoy! My favorite thing about working with the packs is that you have the entire color range in one pack, and you can see which colors will work well together before you buy the full balls. There are also plenty of patterns that show you how to use the entire pack, sometimes plus a few full balls for a background color, so that you can create a very colorful piece. Let’s get into it and see the gorgeousness!

Hello, gorgeous crafter! Today I want to share with you all of the photos from a recent FO that I completed for a buyer during my Summer sample sale! I have two sample sales a year, one in the Summer and one in the Winter. This blanket was a sample from my 2022 VVCAL. I used different yarns to get such a range of color, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it, and more fun – show you all the photos! Related Links

2016 VVCAL Reboot: Main Information Page

Published by

Introduction Hello, gorgeous crafter! Today I am shouting out the announcement for the reboot of my 2016 VVCAL! You may have heard of my 2018 VVCAL, 2020 VVCAL, and 2022 VVCAL. Well, those are my latest VVCAL blanket projects, and as you may know, I design and host the VVCAL every 2 years since 2016. But on the odd-numbered years, I have been missing the VVCAL so much! I decided to start hosting a reboot throwback on the odd-numbered years. So the first reboot will be the 2016 VVCAL! This will not be a full length VVCAL, rather an abbreviated 10-week version and I will update the patterns as well if needed. Here is what the schedule will look like over the next few years: PDF Version Updated reboot PDF coming soon! You can find the current 2016 VVCAL PDF on Etsy. Quick Links to Each Week Theme The theme for the 2016 VVCAL is Names of important people in my life (This is so personal because it was before I knew the VVCAL would …
