Today Scheepjes  has announced a new yarn that I’m really excited about and I’m able to give you an exclusive preview! Check this out: Hellz yesssss, that’s a long gradient yarn right there!! It’s not just your average gradient either, as it has a few characteristics that set it apart from the rest, one of which I like A LOT. Firstly, …

Aaagggggh, I’m dying over here! I have been working on this project for the last week or two and I love, love, love it! It has no name, poor thing, but I’ll get there. I’m going to try to not give too much away in the photos but I have to share how amazingly this stitch has worked out with the …

I do! I do! A while back I was sent some of the purples range of Scheepjes new Wanderlust yarns to play with and they are super pretty. I immediately knew which ones I liked best (the two on the right oops, left!) and started hatching a plan for what to make. Left to right: Rio de Janeiro (453), Las Vegas (458), Paris …

My new fair isle hat design is complete and as promised, here is a better look at it! I even came up with a name for it already, which is surprising as I often hum and haw for ages over the name. I’ve decided to name it after La Benaize, a river that runs through the woods next to the …

The cold weather must be working its magic on me, because I appear to be on a bit of a hat kick! I have been working on another hat design, this time using leftover yarn from my BlueSand Cardigan that I made a while back using Scheepjes Stone Washed. Hello, recycled yarn arrival photo! I loved the cardigan project so much and …

Wow, so it’s been a while! It has been almost seven months since I last posted about this hat and so much has changed in that time! So much to write about that I’m not even sure where to start, which is why I haven’t yet.  Anyway, I had originally designed the hat for a trip we were planning for …

Welcome! Well, the final square is mine and I can’t believe we are here already, wow… just a few weeks to go and many of you will have a completed blanket! Although, some of us will wonder what we will do with all our free time on Wednesdays… I hope you like the square for this week. If you would like to learn a …

A while back I mentioned on my Facebook page that my husband and I have plans to visit Iceland this spring. Of course, with plans for an adventure like that, you need to prepare!  By prepare, I mean knit hats and socks like your life depends on it! Since I’ve been on a design kick lately, I wanted to design something for myself …

As promised, I have the pattern ready for the Mira River Wrap.  I enjoyed making this so much and am really proud of it, I hope you like it too! Materials 3 balls Scheepjes Alpaca Rhythm (Polka 656) 2.5mm needles 0/8 (size 8) seed beeds (I used approx. 950 silverlined ab aqua coloured beads) 0.75mm crochet hook Needle for weaving …

So, here it is! I can finally share some photos of my very first design and I must say I’m pretty in love with it. It’s just a preview at the moment as I still have to write out the pattern.  You can expect early in the new year, or possibly before if I find the time to settle in …

Ok folks!  Here it is, my very first ever released design!  I know I said my beaded scarf was my first design, and it is…. but this was a lot quicker to make, so I was able to release it first.  Just in time for the Scheepjes Christmas Blog Hop! As I mentioned in my sneak peek this is a nice …
