Cosmic Cal part 1 finishedBlog, Cottonandcandles
A few weeks ago, I started with the first part of the Cosmic Cal 2018, designed by Helen Shrimpton (Crystalsandcrochet). I know, I’m still working on my Sophie’s Universe blanket, but I couldn’t resist to start a new Cal.
I really like working on my Sophie and the Cosmic Cal is the same kind of blanket, The second reason is that I wanted to join a Cal from the beginning, and the Cosmic Cal looks like a great project to do so. Continue reading “Cosmic Cal part 1, incl. Colorscheme Cottonandcandles”

Part 3 Sophie’s Universe

Now the Sophie is still small, so working on it goes fast, but later when she’s bigger it will be different I guess. It’s a big blanket and it will cost a couple of months to make it, so it’s nice to see some results already. This week, part 3 has 10 rounds to do. I work with 5 different colors and I changed the color scheme from Deidre to my own colors. I decide per round which color I will use. Continue reading “Part 3 Sophie’s Universe”

The first part of Sophie’s Universe is finished. It wasn’t difficult at all and it looks great. The ByClaire soft mix yarn is fine for crocheting, I only have to be careful that it’s not splitting. So I was ready to start part 2 of the pattern. I’m still happy with the colors that I’ve chosen and for this part 3 more colors will be introduced. Continue reading “Part 2 Sophie’s Universe”

New project Sophie’s Universe

Start Sophie's Universe with Conttonandcandles.com
For months I have the book from the Cal Sophie’s Universe on my shelves. It’s such a beautiful blanket, I just couldn’t wait to start with it. But first I needed to finish my Study and I was still knitting on a few other projects. Study is finished now and the other projects are far finished, so started thinking about the materials that I wanted to use. Continue reading “New project Sophie’s Universe”

These days a lot of sites have a Blog next to their Social Media. I doubted for a long time if I would make a one for the webshop Okariconceptstore , because next to the webshop, I also have a Blog about Interior (Goodlives.nl) and also a Blog about lifestyle with things like traveling, food, cocktails and other nice things (Cakesandpumps.com). But to share hobby news and to show you some projects that I made with products from the webshop it would be fun to have a Blog. So this week I decided to make a new Blog for Cottonandcandles.com.
