Shine Bright Blanket: A Quilt-Inspired WIP

Published by

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.

Free Crochet Pattern: Pixel Plaid Blanket

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.

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 – …

2020 VVCAL: Single Crochet JAYG and Continuous JAYG with PLT Join

Published by

Hey, gorgeous crafter! Today I am sharing the first alternate joining method for the 2020 VVCAL. This join is perfect for the suggested yarn amounts of the Scheepjes Stone Washed and River Washed 10g Colour Pack version. It’s also great if you want a simple and narrow join, or if you don’t have a whole lot of yarn for joining. SC JAYG/CJAYG with PLT Join It’s a mouthful, but this is the Single Crochet join as-you-go and continuous join as-you-go featuring my PLT (pull loop through) Join. I’ve published these 2 methods previously, and you can find them here: SC JAYG with PLT Join SC CJAYG with PLT Join I have also formatted these 2 joining methods into an ad-free condensed PDF file if it’s more convenient. You can find that on Etsy and Ravelry. The cool thing is, you can a lot of mix and match versatility with these joining techniques. You can make a DC JAYG with PLT Join, or an SC CJAYG with PLT Join, and really mix it up any way …

My Latest WIP: The Learner Bag

Published by

Hello, lovely! Today I want to share something I have been working on lately. Remember when I was gifted some new Scheepjes Mighty yarn to test out?

Work in Progress: Gloria Blanket

Published by

Hello, you! A couple of weeks ago I told you about a blanket that did not yet have a name, that I was working up using the Scheepjes Metropolis cutie pie colour pack. Well the blanket now has a name – and a few progress pics too. I’m super excited to show you, so read on! Also you should know I am sat in an airport for the next three hours (more on that later!), so this will be an excessively chatty post.. you’ve been warned lol Gloria Blanket I mentioned it in the yarn arrival post, but it bears repeating that this design has been knocking around in my mind for a few years now, and it is also one of my most requested patterns – that is, many many folks have messaged me asking when I will get a move on with this one! Side note: Another very heavily requested pattern is my upcoming Botanica Blanket CAL (#botanicablanket), and I will make an official info post on Tuesday, November 26 – or maybe …

I already can’t wait to show you all what I’ve designed for this pack. Hint: it’s a simple yet engaging, beautiful project. but first, let me spoil you with pics of the Metropolis Colour Pack by Scheepjes. This Colour Pack is destined to become the prototype for a design that you all have been asking me for for years! Do the words floor tile project mean anything to you? Well, maybe not… but I promise this is one of my most requested patterns based on sneak peeks that I have given here and there since February 2016. Before I reveal a sneak peek, check out the Metropolis Colour Pack! Information (All the deets!) When you receive this awesome pack, it has a double window with a “side A” and a “side B” as you can see in the photos above. It looks kind of like a briefcase. But a lot more fun… Squeeeee at all that color! Here is how the pack looks when you open the sides and lay it out flat. Shop the …
