Good morning my lovelies! What a couple of exciting days it has been! On Friday Scheepjes announced news I’ve been waiting so long to tell you: I’m was allowed to design the new Scheepjes CAL!
Hygge CAL
The 2017 CAL is called ‘Hygge’. Hygge is the Danish word for coziness. But it’s more than just coziness, it’s also being in a warm environment, being happy, comfortable and ‘just right’. I drew my inspiration for this CAL from Scandinavian motifs. It’s something you will recognize in the designs. It’s going be a warm, and comfortable shawl.
As you can see in the picture above, this CAL is unlike any previous CAL. It’s not only crochet, you see! In this CAL you will learn lots of ways to decorate a piece of crochet. By using textured crochet stitches, but also by using surface crochet and cross stitches! Yes, you read that right, Cross stitching! I was a novice cross-stitcher when I started designing, but it’s seriously doable and loads of fun! If I can learn it, so can you so don’t be intimidated by the idea. Esther from It’s all in a Nutshell will provide excellent instructional videos too, so there’s no reason not to join in the fun of this CAL.
Kits
There will be 3 kits for this CAL, each with its own selection of colours. We have the Rainbow kit:
and the jewel kit:
and last but not least, the pastel kit!
All kits will be available on February 1st of 2017. Some retailers, like Woolwarehouse, already take pre-orders. The CAL itself will start on February 15th. More information (and pictures!) on the CAL will follow soon. In the meantime, I suggest you join me and Scheepjes in the Facebook groups, where the active part of the CAL will take place. All the files will be downloadable from there and from Scheepjes.com too. Hope to see you there!

For the CAL will we be crocheting part of the wrap each week and doing a little embroidery too i.e. Embroidering ins tages as we go along. Or do we crochet the whole wrap and then the embroidery sections completed week by week? January 29, 2017 16:38 - Reply
Now I try to find it for watching it quietly and impossible to find it on the Cal. Can you help me to find it?
And a huge bravo for your work! This is a great moment to follow your Cal. Many thanks.

I just wanted to watch how you are doing it.
Please help as I am so far behind now, but just not happy with how week 1 is looking ( unravelled about 3 times already!! ) March 09, 2017 15:50 - Reply
don't worry too much about the instructions! If working over the coloured thread isn't working for you, simply leave it on the backside :) If you're going to line the piece (as we strongly recommend) you're not going to see it anyway! Remember, it's called 'Hygge' CAL so it should bring you joy and peace, not stress :) March 13, 2017 00:32 - Reply
Prachtige sjaal!
Ik heb de 'Simmy's choice' gekocht maar kan alleen de volgorde van de kleuren niet vinden die ik moet gebruiken?
