Yarn Along

While I was at it and with all the jute yarn at hand, I've been preparing a little actually a BIG surprise for my NATURKINDER readers. Yes! There will be…

Part One of another pair of Ginger Cuffs from Helga Isager's wonderful Maschenpoesie. (Which apparently is not available at the moment…) I could not resist this beautiful, hand dyed yarn from…

I've read recently, that the term "Tracht" originates from the German word "tragen" which means "to wear". It's as simple as that. Yet quite special. This one, a traditional "Trachtenjanker", was…

So I've been trying to clean up a bit after a busy (knitting) weekend. Once again trying to finish a few (knitting and pattern) projects that have been on my…

Baby, it's cold outside! And finally snowing! Cozy and warm inside. I finished my skinner hat and started reading Ian McEwan's Nutshell. It's written from the perspective of a baby in…

I've been knitting yet another coughing shirt for a friend's baby. Yes, it's that time of the year… Off it goes with the mail with a little sheep and a…

Talking about Last Minute Projects. This one is on a tight schedule too. A traditional jacket meant to be a Christmas present for Naturpapa. Although I'm at arm number two, I…

Those tiny patterns seem to be especially popular this season! And I am so glad about it, because I am donating 10% of my profits from all pattern sales in December to…

Apart from our latest (very urgent) Advent Projects, I am trying to get along with my current projects of the heart. So maybe they will be finished before Christmas too.…

This weekend I've been very busy with needles. (And kids of course!) And I like the color mix, that has been revealed. I started a traditional jacket last week. It would…

I really wanted to finish this project soon. And did! The Raglan is for our son, 8 years old. I worked with this wonderful Danish yarn, that I fell in…

So happy to not only be finished with my shawl but also be able to publish the pattern today, in German and English. It is available on DaWanda, Etsy and Ravelry. So…

(Just wondering what kind of traffic I will get on my page with this kind of headline. Klick away, it’s all very moral around here.) So, anyway. Whilst knitting one, no, actually almost…

There she was, sitting on her suitcase mood-case, wrapped in a shawl, waiting for her wardrobe to be made. I knew she could be quite picky, so I would start with…

I am surprised myself that there's still room on my table. Still enough little projects to be continued/finished… But I had to order this danish yarn to ("just quickly!") make…

Promised to share a few details on the little projects, I am currently trying to catch up with these days. (Above, Our Little Lord, being nice enough to try on some…

This summer, during my stay at the hospital, rehabilitation and our vacation, I definitely read more books than any other summer in the past 12 years… Amongst others, these are…

Yes, besides all our adventures during our holiday in the Bavarian Forest last week, there has been some knitting (and reading) too. I had taken with me a bunch of…

Yes, I have been very busy (knitting) these days. All in all I was able to finish ten projects, three of them Mini Ringo Scarfs with different yarn from Wool…

Wrapping up Easter Presents today. Amongst other things a few books, Kunstwerk Alpen, Jamies Superfood für jeden Tag and Mein kleiner Teich with lovely illustrations by Katrin Wiehle. Felted Stones, that…
