Before I go any further, if the title made you think “… feel the ride!” (because it’s been stuck in your head ever since Cool Runnings), we are kindred spirits. Anyway, months ago some of us Scheepjes bloggers were asked what we would like to see added to their yarn line.  At that time I was all like “Lace… definitely lace… LACE …

I’ve been working on another Dreambird shawl and the person who asked me to make it had a very specific idea in mind in regards to colors. It’s a gift for a friend that loves purple and she wanted the feathers to be done in a purple color changing yarn, but without any other non purple toned colors (so no green, red, …

Time for an update on my BlueSand Cardigan!  I have been going great guns on this pattern and just as I suspected in my earlier post, the yoke / shoulder shaping was the most difficult part.  Well, so far at least! After separating the sleeves, it was all quite simple once I got going, with a lot of it just …

Recently I was contacted about making another Dreambird, this time in the colors of the sea.  I realized as I was looking back in my blog that I have only ever posted the first Dreambird that I’d ever made.  After making that one I was contacted by a few people asking if I could make them one and over the last year I …

This is what I’ve been working on using my recent yarn delivery, a BlueSand Cardigan! You can find the details on the yarn and pattern at the end of this post, but here is what the cardigan looks like finished: It’s a project that I have had saved for about a year and have been waiting to have the time to work on …

Look what arrived at my house not too long ago… Aren’t the colors great together?  While browsing Ravelry a while back I came across a project I really loved.  I stuck it in my favorites so I wouldn’t forget about it and went on to work my way through my long, loooong, list of projects that were waiting to be finished.  Recently I …

So, my Sylvi is finished!  I think this was my longest planned, most put off, hardest worked on, most sworn at and awesome project yet! I was was first asked to make this jacket back in August 2014, but between other projects and orders that came along, I just kept pushing it off.  I also was completely intimidated by the intricate pattern on the …

In my previous post about my Squishy Soft Fun Denim Shawl I had mentioned that I went for colors that are not really my norm this time around.  I wasn’t sure why, but I just really wanted to do something in pink. The other day it dawned on me where that inspiration came from and what was pulling me towards pink so …

A few weeks ago I received a package with some new yarn from Scheepjes. It’s an addition to their Soft Fun line, called Soft Fun Denim and it comes in the following colors: When it arrived, I pretty much ransacked the box.  Taking photos of the balls of yarn still pretty and intact was the farthest thing from my mind, I …

When I found out we were going to be visiting Pittsburgh, I had the most brilliant idea (if I do say so myself!).  I decided to order some yarns from KnitPicks.com and finally get to check some of them out! They don’t deliver to the Netherlands (BOO!!!) so I’ve not had a chance to play with them or feel them for …
