Updated Gumball Blanket: Now Featuring Continuous Join As-You-Go

Published by

Hey, lovely! I have a fun crochet project to share with you today in anticipation of Valentine’s Day! This month, I am focusing on getting back to my creative roots, since the debut post of my Creative Clarity series is about falling back in love with your art. I have felt a little out of touch with my art lately as I was working on a huge design, the Scheepjes Colour Lab CAL, and now that that project is off the ground, I turned to my planned project list, but nothing was calling my name. Feeling super uninspired, I followed my own advice and reached back to the beginning of my creative journey to my Gumball Blanket design. It was the first blanket I ever designed! While I went over the pattern, I realized there were some improvements that I could make to the construction method, and so I decided to re-release the design as a second version, with a fresh color palette and an updated joining method for you. This post is all about …

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!

Free Crochet Pattern: Tiny Garden Blanket (UK Terms)

Published by

Hello, fabulous crafter! In an effort to provide a free version of all of my (60-ish!) self-published full blanket patterns, I am striving to release a free pattern weekly. Side note: There are about 30 more blankets I have designed which are not self-published, so I can’t release freebies of those, but I wish I could! Tiny Garden Blanket A few years back, I became obsessed with the creative endeavors of a talented and lovely lady named Jessica Wilkinson. She has since left social media, but her nature flatlays and video trips around her garden were absolutely inspiring to me. I designed five blankets inspired by her drawings, her flatlays, and her tiny porch potted plant garden. The materials for Jessica’s floral photography come from a few modest potted plants on her patio. From that tiny garden come the gorgeous and colorful flatlays that inspired this blanket. Below, you will find the free UK Terms pattern, and you can find the US Terms version here! There is a yarn kit available for Tiny Garden – …
