Best birthday wishes from me, too—enjoy your special day!

A bracelet made from blue cotton scraps; it’s quick to make and fun. You need to think a little outside the box for the construction, but that’s the only difficulty. Otherwise, the bracelet consists entirely of knit stitches.

You can find it here.

A boho scarf with fringe, made of cotton. "Made" in this case means knitted and crocheted, because you need both for it.
Perfect for the in-between season, or to spruce up your wardrobe on balmy summer evenings (yes, those are still coming).

This stole is done in various shades of turquoise and is knitted in a very soft and cozy brioche pattern. Of course, other colors are allowed too.
The pattern is very meditative and relaxing. If anyone has never knitted brioche before, there’s a photo tutorial for it in the pattern.

This way to the stole.

So they swayed leisurely into the sunset, which stirred very romantic feelings in the Easter Bunny and prompted him to sing “O sole mio.”

Central star - Nautilus

Ice hockey - yak

Before the bunny could even blink, they were all in the water—and lo and behold, they could all swim all by themselves.

I’m still working on my shawl and blanket. I’m looking for the contrasting color (turquoise) for my shawl. I have it somewhere, but I can’t find it!

Kaffee - elitist

And if, in the current temperatures, any of you feel more like moving abroad, I recommend a knitted shopping bag in Caribbean colors. That way, you can at least dream of the sun and the sea while out on a shopping trip.

You can find the pattern here.

Even if it’s stormy and snowing outside,
spring isn’t far away.

A crocheted shawl should inspire you
and seal the start of spring.

Made of wool as fine as elven hair,
it enchants every craft lover.

Or something like that. The grammar isn’t quite right. Here’s the pattern.

But the ducklings, who weren’t stupid at all, protested when they realized what the two of them were up to, because they had already grown so used to the Easter Bunny.

Happy birthday, dear Monika!

Disheartened, the bunny let his ears droop and trotted off.

Favorite food - naked person

Chain = chain stitch, so crochet 6 chain stitches, then join them to form a ring.
Then another chain stitch (chain 1), sc = single crochet. Work single crochets all the way around, switching to white at the last stitch. I hope it says somewhere how many single crochets there should be in the round.

African violet - nightgown

Happy birthday! Were you born on a Sunday, too?

Mustard - factory-new

“Dear ducks, um, I was just going to say…,” but his words were drowned out by the ducks’ laughter; they found his dripping-wet appearance very funny.

Oh dear, Anja, I’d have to knit the whole sweater all over again. But who knows...

Oak leaf - butter biscuit

Christina, congratulations on your new grandchild!

Easier said than done ... the Easter Bunny hopped to the shore and—plop!—oh dear, fell into the water!

Belated happy birthday from me, too!

I’m a little late, but I hope it’s still okay. Happy belated birthday!

Do you mean a sweater that’s knitted across from one sleeve to the other? I made something like that a long time ago, but I didn’t use a pattern. I quickly drew a diagram—maybe someone else can visualize what I mean and might know of a pattern that works on this principle.



It’s a little blurry—sorry :-) But in principle, it’s very simple because it’s knitted in one piece and can be easily adjusted to your own measurements.

Gothic - Cable Mess

Barley juice - teddy bear

Happy Birthday!

I’m just noticing this now—it’s almost good enough to eat!

So-so. Mom’s back in the hospital. We urgently need a spot in a nursing home—looking after her at home isn’t possible.

Daffodil - Dog-ear

I can still remember very clearly the day I lost my belief in the Christ Child. I was still pretty young then. But I had an older brother (who I still have today). He showed me the secret box where our parents had hidden the Christmas presents. I was a little disappointed, but that was the end of my belief in the Christ Child.
I then bragged to my friends about what I knew. A few other kids stopped believing in the Christ Child, too. So I don’t think it’s all that unlikely for a young child not to believe in the Easter Bunny or the Christ Child—and it’s not always the parents’ or the way they were raised that is to blame.

What a beautiful picture—thanks! It was raining here, but now the sun is peeking out a little.

Sun - ebony  

Happy birthday, and all the best for the coming year!

Happy Birthday, dear Irma!

Very elegant and feminine for older girls and women: a triangular shawl knitted from sock yarn. The pattern is almost beginner-friendly because it’s basically just knit stitches. You just have to be a little careful around the edges.

You can find the pattern here.

Monika, please don’t use such offensive words :-)

A few rays of sunshine for the bathroom wouldn’t hurt either. In this case, the dawn glow is knitted into a wash mitt. It’s not difficult at all. A little experience with jacquard patterns can’t hurt, but this ring pattern only spans a few rounds and is on the simpler side.

You can read more about it here.

Imagine the sun rising over the colorful flower meadow. Everything is glowing!
You can also crochet a flower meadow like that and tie it around your neck. That’s called a scarf :-)

Ideas actually come all the time. The biggest problem is putting them all into practice. Sometimes inspiration comes from the yarn, sometimes from things you see, sometimes from specific requests, and sometimes from nature. I never lack ideas—just time.

You’re probably trying to tempt us now that we’re so close to world domination :-)

Belated happy birthday from me, too!

The star blanket looks great!

Thank you all for the nice comments on the shawl and also for the link to the other thread!
