Remember this WIP from December? I have been working on this blanket for a little while and have really enjoyed making this smaller and faster blanket. It’s baby blanket size at 48x48in, but will be excellent as a lap throw as well. Related Links Read all about the yarn I chose here! See more behind-the-scenes, plus choose a color combination here!

Hey, gorgeous creative! Today I want to reveal more of the work in progress that I am tinkering with in two colors of Scheepjes Metropolis. She finally has a name: “Shine Bright Blanket” – because of the diamonds of course! So far I have really enjoyed all of the positive feedback I have received about this design in progress. I even did some polling for this project to gather opinions on the motifs, but I’ll share more about that later! In this post, I’ll go over all of the behind the scenes progress that has gone into making this piece, from the initial idea and development, to the color layout and composition. Of course I have a lot of progress photos to show you as well.
Hello, lovely! Today I have a free pattern for you! I showed my Facebook Group “CypressTextiles Tree Huggers” this blanket last week, and they absolutely loved it. If you want to join the fun in my FB Group, click here! My brand new design is called Pixel Plaid because it is a blocky checkered pattern that will show off your favorite five colors in a creative and eye-catching layout. Mixing striped and solid “squares” (they’re actually join as-you-go strips) creates the plaid look. The Pixel Plaid Blanket – a no-sew linen stitch crochet blanket that works up quick in front of the television, but never gets boring.
