A popular piece of clothing for toddlers (3-4 years) is this colorful summer skirt. It has an elastic waistband at the top, making it quick and easy to put on and take off, which children this age often like to do themselves. Almost any T-shirt goes with this color combination.

This sweater with a side button placket is also knitted in the same size - also with raglan from the top. It's best to knit both models right away and then give them as a gift.

Marion, you’ve been so busy! It doesn’t always have to be (just) crafts, after all. It sure looks like you’ll be able to show us your sweater soon, doesn’t it?

Sandra, you’re really going into mass production with your sponges. Each one is prettier than the last. The owl is so cute.

I crocheted the 6th nest yesterday.




And I’ve made a bit of progress on my shawl, too. I’ll start on the doll’s pants tomorrow. It’s sooo nice to finally be knitting again!

All the best on your birthday and lots of joy—today and throughout the whole new year.

Warm
regards, Monika

All the best on your birthday, and may the coming year bring you much joy and, above all, good health!

Best wishes
Monika

Thank you so much for all the good wishes—I’d like to add my own.

This weekend, I’ll be enjoying some knitting in the garden, picking currants to make jam, and tidying up our pantry. 

Dear Michaela,
today is your special day—the day you came into this world. I wish you all the very best, and above all, good health and happiness. May this new year of your life bring you the very best it has to offer.

Warm regards,
Monika

I also crocheted borders around handkerchiefs at school—I remember now. And they were actually used. We had lots of them. Tempo tissues didn’t exist back then. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos; I have no idea where they ended up.

I also made a small knotted wall hanging once when I was about 20. I gave it to my mom for Christmas. I really enjoyed knotting back then.

Back then, people also knitted a lot with a French knitting spool. I have two of them, but I have to admit that I haven’t used them in decades.

Wow, Andrea, that looks absolutely beautiful!
Would you mind telling us a little about this technique? I’ve heard the term before, but I’m not really sure what it entails.

Have a great weekend!

I have no idea why the image shifted. It’s actually supposed to be at the bottom...

How cute, Sandra! I especially like the colorful elephant.
Marlene, I like your sock, too—especially the pattern.

Here are the 5 nests I’ve finished. The 6th is still on the needle. Otherwise, it’s not worth the shipping. ;-)

I need enough of each type so that I can spontaneously bring a project idea to life without having to buy more. I always factor that into my yarn purchases. And of course, that leads to a sizeable stash. I love it!

Right now, I’m on a yarn diet so I can free up some space again. I won’t restock until I can no longer bring my ideas to life on the spot. That could easily last until early next year. I definitely want to stick with it for a full year.

Wow, I didn’t check in here for a few days, and already there’s so much new stuff to see. You’ve all done a great job.

I’m back home today from our camping trip. We finally got to visit our grandkids. The little one, now 13 months old, has changed so much. The last time I saw her, she was 4 months old. The older one is now 4 years old and loves having stories read to her. It was definitely a wonderful week, during which I was rarely online. Last week, I managed to finish 5 nests for wild animals almost on the side. I’ve completely used up all the leftover yarn I’d packed for that. I’ll take a photo tomorrow. I might even crochet a sixth nest.

Now I’m definitely going to keep knitting summer clothes for my little one. The pants are still missing.

I was away for a week and crocheted five nests for wild animals during that time. Today I’m back home and will finish crocheting the fifth one. After that, there’s one more to go. This is a great way to use up all those leftover yarn scraps.

I’m in the same boat as Ruth and Andrea. I immediately claimed two of the large drawers in our new sideboard in the hallway. That allowed me to clear out a few boxes. Otherwise, my yarn is also stored in several drawers, cabinets, or even nice cardboard boxes. I plan to use up quite a bit more by the end of the year, so there’ll be room for new yarn again.

The spring or summer meadow features lots of floral decorations, for example on egg cozies, as scatter decorations, and the placemats and coasters have a floral border. Leftover yarn or leftover balls of yarn are enough for this. All pieces are very easy to make, even for beginners.

Oh wow, Petra, your yarn is an absolute dream ... looking at it longingly...
I’d know right away what I’d make with it.

I’m still holding out too, for half a year now, and I’m going to keep it up. There’s still soooo much yarn calling for needles. Today at the market I was totally steadfast and brave. I’m really proud of myself. Because of all things, there was a Finkhof stall there. I love this yarn!! I looked at the yarn longingly and ... kept walking!! To be honest, that took a lot of willpower. 

If I managed that, then nothing else will get in the way until the end of the year.

Dear all, thank you for your good wishes. We’re currently enjoying a camping vacation in the Allgäu and were at the market in Wangen this morning. Tomorrow morning we’re heading to Ravensburg to visit the grandkids. I’m really looking forward to it!

Sandra, the penguin washcloth is super cute. Anton will definitely like it.

Petra, your little basket looks great with those summer colors. I’ve also been crocheting little nests again in my spare time. It’s a great way to use up leftover yarn. The doll outfit will actually be for baby girl dolls. In different colors, it would be really cute for boys too. I’m currently knitting the pants, but I’ll finish them at home next week. I need the doll as a model, but I don’t have her with me.

Sandra, you’re really working at a breakneck pace with that crochet hook. ;-)

I’m so excited that we’re finally heading out on our trip tomorrow. My two grandchildren and their families are really looking forward to seeing us, too. Finally, we’ll get to cuddle again. The last time I saw the younger one, she was 4 months old; now she’s 13 months.

   I’m also looking forward to the camping trip and Lake Constance now. It’s supposed to rain, but the weather will clear up again by the weekend. We’ll enjoy that. And of course, I’ll have plenty of time there to crochet and knit. I’ll be working on some nests again, too.
