For the true experts among you, here’s another special treat: a double-knit scarf. The different motifs are shown in knitting charts. You should be familiar with the technique. When I say experts, I really mean experts.

You can find the pattern here.

For knitters who have at least a little experience with lace patterns, this lightweight lace hat is a great choice. An unusual lace pattern where you have to think a bit outside the box, because not all rounds have the same number of stitches. It is knitted with sock-weight yarn.

Here’s the pattern.

For a quick sense of accomplishment and something easy to finish in a weekend: how about a bath mitt?
Knitted in the round using a cotton-blend yarn, it’s a quick and very practical knitting project.

A shawl is always a lovely weekend project. You can start over the weekend and get a lot done, then continue during the week.
Here I have a beautiful crocheted lace shawl that you can make with any yarn and in any size. Mine is made from lace yarn with a length of 730m per 100g, but you can really use whatever you want. The pattern is written out row by row, and there’s also a crochet chart.

A thunderstorm is rolling in right now, and the heat is slowly letting up a bit. But honestly, I can do crafts at any temperature. I prefer it to be comfortably warm (not too hot and not too cold) outdoors.

That music box looks so funny!

Oh, and I’d like to add my congratulations, too!

And for knitting beginners who just can’t get enough of potholders, I recommend knitting potholders :-)

Here you go.



All you need to know for that is knit and purl stitches.

For knitting beginners who finally want to move beyond endless potholders, I recommend this triangular shawl. It’s really easy! Anyone who can knit knit stitches can knit this shawl, too.

I’m on the last row of my shawl. But it’s taking forever!

Whether you’re at the beach in Rimini or on Copacabana, at a quarry lake or in an ice cream parlor, a handmade bracelet will make you look great. What’s more, you can use it to knit up some colorful leftover cotton yarn.

Check it out!

When knitting socks, you usually have a bit of yarn left over. At least that’s how it is for me. Then you end up with lots of colorful leftovers and aren’t quite sure what to do with them. My suggestion: make little gift bags from them! They look very pretty in bright colors, and they’re also very quick to knit.

Here’s the pattern.

I might as well update this again: I’m now at 5,600 meters used for the whole year. That’s about as much as Marion gets through in a month :-)

So, I’m giving it another try this time. Maybe, for a change, there’ll be a month where things aren’t completely chaotic. A “yarn diet” and all that just doesn’t work—I treated myself to some yarn again today, but here’s my current UFO:



It’s going to be a knitted shawl with a crocheted border all around it.

As colorful as a summer flower meadow, this easy crochet scarf requires nothing more than a basic knowledge of double crochet and chain stitches—and two skeins of sock yarn on hand.

Happy birthday, dear Jana!
