Twisted Roots MAL Giveaway Winner & WIP’s

Hoorah, we have a winner for the Twisted Roots MAL Giveaway!!  🥳 Today I gathered up all the comments on my Facebook and Instagram and used a random name picker to choose 10 from each post. I then put those 20 names back in the generator and Kimberly Hernandez was our lucky winner! She will be receiving three balls of Scheepjes Our Tribe in my Canadutch colourway as well as a copy of Scheepjes YARN Bookazine 10: The Colour Issue. Congratulations, Kimberly! Enjoy!

News From the Groups: WIP & Whirl(igig) Photos

Since it’s rude to drop a name and run, I figured I’d share a few photos from the Facebook communities that were shared during the first few days of the MAL. Don’t worry if you don’t see your photo, the MAL has only just started, so be sure to share your WIP’s in the Official Scheepjes Facebook groups and you may see yours in my next post!

Knitted by Karoliina Molander using Scheepjes Our Tribe – Heart (979)

This project, using the Our Tribe Heart colourway, has been super popular in our Facebook groups, and it’s not hard to see why! I think Karoliina was blamed by a few group members for them having to go out and buy this yarn, even if they had already chosen another colourway of their own! I’d be a lying liar if I said I haven’t tucked it away in the back of my mind to work with on something in the future too.

Knitted by Ruth Lambert using Scheepjes Whirligig Grey to Lavender (201) Whirligigette Grey (253)

You may recognize this Whirligig scarf from my previous post where I showed the gorgeous Whirl and Whirligig versions of the scarf. You have already seen a few of the photos but look at that middle one that we haven’t seen yet, I love the definition in the cables with Whirligig, it’s just divine! Ruth has been a bit of a trendsetter, I think, as I’m pretty sure there are a few others planning to do their scarf in Whirligig as well!

Knitted by Theresa Pearson using Scheepjes Woolly Whirl – Sugar Sizzle (472)

Theresa also shared a new photo of her finished Woolly Whirl scarf after a snowfall, and I don’t know what I envy more, her having a scarf in that fab colourway, or having snow! Oh the Canadian in me misses snow so much sometimes… I expect that, like with the Whirligig, we are going to see more Whirl versions popping up now that people have seen Theresa’s, and who can blame them!

Knitted by Kristina Hill using Scheepjes Our Tribe – It’s All in a Nutshell (973)

Kristina is making great progress on her scarf! She was very clever and put her thinking cap on when she wasn’t sure if her tension was working out properly. She took a blocking break and gave the work she had completed already a wee blocking to see if her cables would flatten out as she hoped. Turns out she was right on track and her scarf is looking just smashin’!

Knitted by Linda Scannell using Scheepjes Wanderlust – Rio de Janeiro (453)

I was so excited when I saw Linda share the start of her scarf using Scheepjes Wanderlust and I immediately picked it off as the same colourway that I used for my All Good Things Cowl design. I’m so eager to see how this scarf unfolds and there are quite a few others in the group who are as well!

Knitted by Tessa van Voorthuysen using  Scheepjes Our Tribe – Canadutch (975)

Tessa was well ahead of the game by the time the MAL officially began! She posted this photo of her WIP in my Canadutch colourway on the first day of the MAL began and it was looking wonderful already. I always love seeing projects made in my Our Tribe colourway and it’s even better when it’s a design of my own!

Knitted by Rineke Rottiné using The Curio Crafts Room (974)

Last, but certainly not least, is another one who jumped right in and just couldn’t wait to get started. Rineke was already through one entire ball by the time the MAL began and her scarf is coming along splendidly! The waves of the cables with the blues and greens in this colourway really make me think of summer and the sea. So pretty!
