Since returning from Yarndale earlier this month, I've been busy with a fabulous new yarn that I squished in my suitcase. I intentionally took a really large bag knowing that I would come home with loads of yarn, so stuffing 24 balls of the 34 colors of Scheepjes Namaste in my bag was easy--well, almost easy. Thankfully this yarn is squishy!

Recently I posted about three good things I get from crocheting and creating. One of those things is that it affords me the opportunities to connect with other creators in meaningful ways. Just over a week ago I had the chance to travel across the pond again to Skipton in Yorkshire England to attend the annual Yarndale market. The best part--I was able to meet up with my fellow tribe of Scheepjes...

Have you been busy with family, work and other crazy life demands? I have been nearly "under water" it seems. But don't think for a minute that I haven't been busy crocheting. Not only is crochet part of my "work", but it is something of a priority around here. I must play with yarn!! You might just understand.

Hello!! I hope life is good for you and there is plenty of time for crochet and color! Today I'm sharing the free crochet pattern for my Warp and Weft Blanket. It's a bit of traditional granny squares with a modern twist. See...

But recently I received every single color of Scheepjes Cahlista in wee 15g balls, and it yelled, "I know what I want to...

I don't know about you, but the start of a new year often gives me a little burst of creative energy. And I find that I must have lots of color around me. It could be the gray, cold air of my Rocky Mountain winter, but regardless, I've been having a blast playing with lots of rainbow-colored, yarny goodness. Last week I showed you a peek at a colorful design I made using Scheepjes Our Tribe in my...

Have you got your three Scheepjes Whirls ready and waiting? If so, I've designed a fabulously simple free crochet pattern for you with a mesmerizing result. Meet the Trio Blanket...

Since the release of Scheepjes Our Tribe yarn* with my very own colorway, I have been working away on two designs. One of them I gave you a sneak peek of here. It uses all 15 colors of Our Tribe and should be a color riot. Expect the pattern this spring. But I felt a strong pull to use my own colorway (Felted Button #965) to design something that was very ME. That pull resulted in a wearable, too,...
