Scheepjes CAL 2016
A textured blanket with a heartwarming story.

As many of you know, this CAL was designed by the late Marinke Slump (aka Wink) from A Creative Being, and was the final design she was working on at the time of her passing. In accordance with the wishes of Marinke’s family, 12 of her online friends and bloggers have completed her unfinished design to present this beautiful and sensitive CAL in Marinke’s memory and as a tribute to her work.

The CAL started on April 20, 2016; kits were available beginning April 1. There are six available: the Basic kit or the Luxury kit, each in a choice of three colorways.

The CAL ran for 14 weeks; each week a new part of the pattern was released as a downloadable PDF document available in UK English or Dutch. Crochet charts are included in each pattern piece for those who do not speak English or Dutch. Videos were available as well.

The complete pattern is available all in one PDF now that the CAL has finished.

Two types of kits will be available for this CAL, both of which Marinke selected herself:

  • Basic kit : made up of our Colour Crafter yarns.(+ label)
  • Luxury kit : made up of MerinoSoft yarns, + label, + goodies, + bag.

The finished MerinoSoft blanket will measure about 160 x 130 cm, the finished Colour Crafter blanket will measure about 150 x 115 cm
