Sophie's Universe

Product Information

Some may say that it’s a very girly palette, but I will dare to disagree. This color scheme is rich and sophisticated, with strategically placed green stems and yellow petals. This kind of planning requires a lot of thought, and I think that this blanket by Yarntoknitmari is a true masterpiece. See for yourself in the photos below.

Yes, except it does raise a whole bunch of ethical and legal questions that, frankly, I'm not sure the Premier League is equipped to deal with. Not yet, anyway. Pinks and cream work perfectly together, just like cherries and vanilla ice cream. Blanket like this will be a great addition to feminine bedroom, or unforgettable baby accessory, cherished for generations. Take a look below at the lovely version by Tina. There's no suggestion that Everton were wilfully dishonest or deceitful. Manchester City, on the other hand, are charged with failing to give "a true and fair view of the club's financial position," of failing to "include full details" of player and manager remuneration, and of failing to cooperate with Premier League investigators.Why not go all white? Well, if you are not a fan of weaving in ends, or just need something extremely delicate and sophisticated, making your Sophie in one color is a great choice. As you can see, the pattern sings even in pure white, because the stitches are so beautifully designed. Take a look below on Margaret’s work. Third, the Premier League likes to think of itself as a business, one that is stable and that will attract investors. If you make huge losses every year -- it's worth remembering that despite being the most successful league around, the Premier League makes an operating loss most seasons -- it's harder to attract investors. So this greater oversight is a good thing, right? Although I’m not very much into girly palettes, I must say that this one won my heart instantly. Maybe it’s clever combination of pinks, whites and yellows, or strategically placed stems and petals. Anyway, Valerie did fantastic job, so take a look at it below. Striking dance of blues and reds becomes the focus of Tomo’s Sophie, as the colors interact with each other in playful sequences. As you can see below, Scheepjes Softfun seems a perfect choice of yarn for this project, because it combines the everyday look of cotton with durability of acrylic. Pretty much. And bear in mind: that was the maximum ban they could give and that was based only on a portion of the charges the Premier League are bringing against them. Everton have accepted the Premier League's punishment while also questioning the fate of other clubs for more breaches. In reality, their case is worlds apart from that being investigated against Man City. Alex Livesey/Getty Images But wasn't the UEFA ban overturned on appeal? What makes the Premier League think their case is more solid?

Looking for more sophisticated pinks? There you go, just choose rosy hues and pair them with dusty greens and greys. This small version by Marianne has lovely lacy edging, as you can see in the photos. I absolutely love this colorway by Little Paws Crochet, because it combines warm and cold tones in the most magical way. Shades of green dance with shades of pink, tied by panels of cream and neutrals. Take a look at the photos and see how every detail has its own distinct character – something to emulate in the future projects for sure! This was a not-so-veiled reference to Manchester City, who are facing 115 charges of breaching PSR (to Everton's one), and possibly Chelsea, who are currently under investigation for alleged wrongdoing between 2012 and 2019. Some suggest that the hard line taken against Everton means some sort of seismic punishment awaits City and/or Chelsea if they're found guilty.

So this greater oversight is a good thing, right?

Big, multi-step patterns like today’s hero have one significant advantage – you can stop whenever you want! Make it a decorative mandala, afghan square or baby blanket. Many crocheters are intimidated by big CALs, but remember, that you don’t need to go all the way through – see lovely square by Shamim below!

That's right: it was overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, who found that "most of the alleged breaches were either not established or time-barred."

It feels like over the past few years the Premier League has taken a renewed interest -- and a harder line -- on the financial dealings of its clubs. Why is that?

I’m following Anita Buch Jensen’s color scheme. She posted her progress photos on Facebook and I was so impressed with it, I decided to try to do mine like hers.

This blanket is very unusual, because it’s teeny-tiny! Have you ever tried crocheting with thread? If not, be sure that you can create little masterpieces like this one by Geneva-Kae. You can see below how intricate it is, but I almost can’t imagine how much work was put into it! At the end of this part, it’s no longer 8-sided. The middle square has turned into a diamond and the short sides have become the sides of a new square. This is a version of original free crochet pattern called Sophie’s Universe CAL by Dedri Uys, available on lookatwhatimade.net.The state visit was planned to coincide with the signing of the Downing Street Accords, a free trade agreement that will streamline trade between the two countries and modernize digital trade rules and customs procedures, which Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said is a fulfillment of his “promise to grow the economy and support highly skilled jobs.” In the years since the UK left the European Union, the government has shifted its focus to finding trade partners and economic opportunities in the Indo-Pacific region, and the developments with South Korea are an early success in that effort. To emphasize the treaty’s importance, the royal family came out in full force to show South Korea’s delegation a good time. Take Everton. The case against them was opened last season and referred to the three seasons before that -- is it fair that the punishment be applied now? Shouldn't the case have been adjudicated and the sanction imposed in 2022-23? That's what the three clubs who were relegated in 2022-23 (Leicester City, Leeds United and Southampton) believe, which is why they're reportedly mulling a lawsuit to seek compensation. In a perfect world, the Premier League would have done just that, but they said the judicial process couldn't be completed in time. Chelsea haven't been charged yet, but based on what has come out in the media thus far, it doesn't seem as if it's on a similar scale to the City situation. And, more importantly, this was under the previous owner and the current owners flagged it up themselves. It feels like over the past few years the Premier League has taken a renewed interest -- and a harder line -- on the financial dealings of its clubs. Why is that?
