(Watermelon Hell Raiser and Minty Black Velvet) Welcome to the RBTL + CBTL Make-Along! If you are here, it means you’ve decided to join us and make the Crochet Between the Lines shawl, the new crochet version of my Read Between the Lines shawl! Due to the enthusiasm about these patterns, many people have already started working on them, but that’s ok because …

I’m so excited to share this! My Read Between the Lines shawl design has been published in this month’s issue of The Knitter Magazine (Issue 113 – July 2017) and I have to say, I’m pretty proud of it! It’s knit using the Illusion Knitting technique with two complimentary colours of Scheepjes Whirl long gradient yarn (you can see my review …

If you are a follower of our Scheepjes Bloggers group you will have noticed a few posts recently about our friend Bernadette, otherwise known as Berniolie.  Bernadette has been ill for quite some time now and is currently in the hospital. The bloggers, and crafting community as a whole, have been trying to show their support for her and her business …

Head in the Clouds Cowl (see below for pattern!)  You may have seen that Scheepjes recently released a new yarn called Eliza. I was sent a ball to play with and see how I like it, and I thought I’d give you a bit of a closer look! Once I felt this yarn, I knew what I wanted to use it …

There’s nothing like a yarn delivery to brighten up a cloudy day! Yup, that’s the Girls Night In final limited edition of the Scheepjes Hygge CAL designed by the lovely Kirsten from Haak Maar Raak!

The finishing touches are on my I Love Herringbone Wanderlust project, and not only is it finished, but it actually has a proper name – All Good Things! Why did I decide to call it All Good Things? Well, probably for the very reason you just came up with in your head. All good things come to those who wait. I have …

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 …
