A lovely weekend project is this buttoned cowl as well. It can be worn in many different ways—for example, simply as a collar. And it’s sure to be well received as a gift too.

A colorful summer skirt like this for little girls (ages 3–4) is just the thing. It goes with almost any shirt. It’s comfortable and could become a favorite.

To go with it, there’s a matching outfit set for dolls (40–50 cm) that I knitted from the leftover yarn.

Wow, that pineapple looks amazing—just like the real thing. I think the colors turned out great.

Thanks for the beautiful photos, Akela! :)

To go along with them, I’d like to show you this heart we found inside a walnut. Nature, with all its plants, holds so much love for us.

Thanks for sharing, Andrea. It’s so beautiful where you live.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday.

I wish all fathers a wonderful Father’s Day. The weather is perfect for outings—ideally with the kids, of course.

We’re enjoying the day in the garden.

The tissue box with butterflies and hearts also looks very pretty and decorative on the garden table. And this way, tissues are always within easy reach when you need them. It’s also a great gift idea!

The spring or summer meadow is also a very pretty decoration for the garden table. It includes placemats, coasters, floral decorations, and various egg cups and egg cozies in fresh, vibrant colors. This is also a great way to use up leftover cotton yarn.

I’m also happy to have a husband who shares my enthusiasm for my hobby and everything that comes out of it. I often knit together with my neighbor and friend. My son and his family are very grateful and really appreciate everything I knit for my granddaughters. That, of course, makes it twice as enjoyable. And my friend is always happy when she receives a knitted or crocheted gift. 

Today, in the most beautiful summer weather, I’ve almost finished crocheting another nest for baby animals in the garden and have been enjoying the nature all around me—including the birdsong.

Angela, I’d suggest asking support what the reason is. I’d be interested to know too—I’m always happy to learn something new.

The only explanation I can think of is that it wasn’t your own photo. Of course, you’re not allowed to upload photos that aren’t your own there, because photos are always copyrighted by the creator. And authors aren’t allowed to upload images from their own patterns there either.

Ohhh, I think that sparrow is so cute! The photo is absolutely adorable.

I love birds, too, and I’m always happy to see them hopping around in our garden all year round. That’s why I really enjoy crocheting nests for animals that need to be nursed back to health.

Wow, a lot has happened here again!
Sandra, you’re doing a really great job—working completely freehand from a picture, without a pattern. Your Gruffalo looks great. I’m just like Marion—I hadn’t heard of a Gruffalo until now either. Learned something new again.
What did Anton say?

Marion, you’ve been hard at work again, too. It definitely looks promising.

Bergli, I’m already excited to see your baby blanket. Would you like to show it when it’s finished?

I’ve finished mine, too ;-)—got quite a bit done and no UFOs at the moment!

The third nest is finished, and a drey



And yay—my cardigan is finished, too. I can’t wait to wear it. Though it’s starting to get warm now.

Belated happy birthday, and wishing you a healthy, happy, and successful year ahead.

Best wishes,
Monika

I think your bloomers are really cute too, Petra. You did a great job. When my son was little, I had that sewing bug too. Now I’m more into knitting or crocheting. But who knows... maybe I’ll get back into sewing someday.

Berli, when I see your yarn like that, I’m sure I have just as much. Mine is spread out in closets, dressers, and even in boxes. Oh my, that adds up to quite a few kilos. I always sort it by quality and type. 

Great, Marlene! You did a great job.
We spotted some a few days ago, too, but they’ve probably flown on. Maybe to your place? I’ll keep an eye out to see if I can capture our garden birds on camera. I always think it’s totally cute when they’re bathing. There’s even a water-shy sparrow among them. It flaps its wings once and is quickly back out again. 

What a cute little devil, Ruth. It would also make a great gift. Great idea!
Yes, my collection of knitted garments is actually growing. And I’m only doing handwork for maybe 2–4 hours a day—I really do take every opportunity I can. :)

Marlene, I really love the pattern and colors of your scarf. I’m excited to see how it turns out.

This morning I finished crocheting the second nest—here it is. It still needs to be felted later.



At the same time, I now have the second sleeve of my jacket on the needles, and I’m starting on the next nest today.

All my skeins are eagerly waiting to get on the hook. I’ve picked out a few that I plan to crochet into animal nests one by one. They’re all leftover skeins or yarn I didn’t really like. Quite a lot will come together.

At the same time, I’m currently thinking about my next bigger project. But I’m not quite sure yet. 

I think it’s really great that space is slowly opening up for new yarn. But I probably won’t buy any until next year. I’m determined to stick to a one-year yarn diet—mainly because I don’t want to buy a new closet. ;-)

This top with the blue waves brings to mind summer, sunshine, and a gentle breeze by the sea. Experienced knitters can easily knit it. Everything is explained in detail (fits size 40-42).

I’ve been busy again, too. My jacket is now in the home stretch. One sleeve is almost done. Next up is the second sleeve and the buttons. I’m already looking forward to wearing it. Here’s what it looks like now.




And then yesterday I crocheted a nest for wildlife rehabilitators. I’ve picked out quite a bit of yarn that I’m going to use to make nests and similar items. That way, I can use up a lot of yarn that I wouldn’t otherwise have a use for. I’m in a Facebook group where I even know where to send the nests. I’m glad I have that connection now—thanks to Petra. :)
