Technicolour Dream Blanket: Scheepjes YARN Bookazine, The Colour Issue

Published by

Hello, lovely crafter! Today I have a special treat for you. I want to show you the latest Scheepjes YARN Bookazine: The Colour Issue, a celebration of 10 issues of YARN and the perfect salute to color. If you’ve followed my work for any length of time, you know that I am color obsessed, so when Scheepjes told me that the next issue of YARN would be The Colour Issue of course I jumped for joy! I mean just look at the cover. The bookazine is on its way to me, and I am absolutely giddy to receive it and flip through the pages. You may have a copy – or maybe a collection – of YARN Bookazine, so you know that it’s more than just the awesome patterns within… It’s the photography, the mood, the theme, and much more.

Published by

Hi, sweet crafter! As the 4-part Zendoodle Blanket series has just come to a close, I have had messages regarding the rectangle POC inclusive rainbow version that I have been working up in Scheepjes Softfun and showing on my Instagram. So I decided to create a free pattern version for this rectangle Zendoodle as well! It is just as wide as the original Zendoodle, but extended upward to make a big rectangle. Here are links to the 4 parts of this free rectangle version: Part 1: Strip 1 (This post) Part 2: Strips 2 and 3 Part 3: Strips 4 and 5 Part 4: Strips 6-8 and Border Note: If you have previously purchased my Zendoodle Blanket on Etsy or Ravelry, I will send the updated PDF as soon as I am finished with it. Thank you! Good news: The update will include both PDFs for the Zendoodle Blanket and the Rectangle Version! Use this hashtag to keep all of the Zendoodle Blankets progress photos together, whether you make the Original or the Rectangle. #ZendoodleBlanket …
