Of course, a little dress or skirt is a must for little girls. Styles that grow with the child for a while and can therefore be worn for a long time are especially popular.

Before the Christmas gifts, there’s also the Advent calendar. These little gnomes look especially cute. Every day, a new gnome appears on the table, filled with a little surprise. And on December 24, all the gnomes get to move into their house. Of course, only after the big surprise has been unwrapped.

They’re very easy to crochet, even for beginners with basic skills. This is also a great way to use up leftover yarn. The more colorful the gnomes are, the prettier they look.

Oh, Ruth, that’s such a lovely idea with the guardian angels for the first day of school.
Yes, I’m knitting with sock yarn and some solid-color yarn as well. But it won’t be a sweater. I won’t reveal any more than that just yet. ;-)

Oh yes, they can break. And I’ve had this “pleasure” not only with cheap needles, but also with expensive ones—namely, those from KnitPro. You can’t repair them, so you’ll probably have to get new ones.

Happy birthday, dear Lucy!

I wish you a wonderful day with lovely guests and lots of fun celebrating.

Lots of love

Marion, you knitted my infinity scarf absolutely beautifully. You’ve directly inspired me to knit one like that too, using similarly colorful yarn. I actually have some lying around and wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. Now I have an idea. Unfortunately, the colors of my friend’s scarf were pretty dark, so you can’t really see the pattern very well.

In any case, I hope your hand gets better soon and that you’ll be able to use it again soon with joy. For me, that would be a total disaster—not being able to knit or type on the computer.

Sandra, you’re really amazing with your ideas and projects for the kids.

Claudia, thank you so much for the congratulations. I immediately missed you here.
I admire you for crocheting such a big project in Tunisian crochet. That’s absolutely not my thing—at most, I’d do it for tiny little projects.

I really like your goblin. I love figures like that in the garden. 

Yes, Petra, I really appreciate that too! Fresh fruit and fresh vegetables—it doesn’t get any more convenient or healthier than that.

That’s a pretty caterpillar you found. I completely forgot to take a picture of our butterfly bush. There are so many colorful butterflies on it. Unfortunately, it’s almost done blooming.
