Great idea, Akela! ;-)

Mine definitely have real character. That’s true.
I just asked Google and actually found them listed as character dolls.
Type that in and then click on “Images.” There’s a website in Austria run by a doll collector that shows some of them. Now I know what mine are called too. Interesting.

A sweater made from sock yarn for 2- to 3-year-old children that can be knitted now for cooler days. Shown here with orange accents to match the sock yarn.

Thanks for your feedback on the bunny! The main thing is that Juna likes it—and she definitely will. A lot of love went into it. :)

Petra, your little dens and nests for the animals turned out great again. Where are you sending them? I still have some stash yarn I could use to crochet some for them. I just need an address of someone who could use them.

I’m going to unravel part of the sleeping bag again, even though I’m almost done. Yesterday I tried out a new pattern that I really like—better than the current one. And now I want to crochet that across the entire front. So, once again this month, I’m the Queen of Unraveling. Oh well.

Have a great day, everyone, and enjoy the spring weather. Here, rain is coming starting tonight, and then it’ll get cooler. That’ll be a good time to write up patterns.

I have sensitive feet and can only wear comfortable shoes. In the summer, that means sandals. When it’s cooler, I also wear socks with them.

I have dolls just like that, too—a girl and a boy. I’ll see if I can find out, since I traded for them on a swap site a while back.

Andrea, I think your sweater is super cute!
Sandra, you always have great gift ideas. Your unicorn is so cute.
Mel, your Möbius loop is such a unique idea. I really like it now that it’s finished.
Ruth, your case looks very elegant… That’s a great idea. I might make one myself someday. There are quite a few things I could spruce up with it.

I’ve finally finished the bunny. It looks a little different from the original, but that’s okay. The hat won’t get a pom-pom after all, since I’m giving it to Juna as a gift. She’d probably chew it off. The body turned out pretty chubby, too, so the suit just barely fits. The legs are also a bit too short. But I still really like him. He has a certain charm and is sure to be loved. I was able to use up quite a bit of my “diet yarn” again.

Here’s what he looks like.




And now I’m actually working on my UFO, just in time for UFO Week. I’m not sure yet if I’ll be able to finish it. This is what the sleeping bag looks like now. It’ll fit a 50-cm doll—or even two. It’ll be just the right size to fit in a doll stroller. The pillow on top still needs to be stuffed.

These headphone cushions are very comfortable on the ears. My husband came up with this idea and loves it. They’re quick and easy to crochet.

This funny leftover-eater gang is great as gift packaging for any occasion. For children’s birthdays for small party favors, in a school cone with small supplies inside, or gift certificates. And afterward they can simply stand on the desk as pencil holders.

Great for all leftovers, and you can give your creativity free rein here.

Mel, your little doll is absolutely adorable, and the loop scarf is great, too.
Sandra, your grapes are amazing once again. You’re really good at this.

My mouth is literally watering just looking at them.... :-)

I’m still waiting for my stuffing. It’s taking quite a while this time. Right now, I’m knitting the bunny’s outfit.

In the summer, I also love cotton. Right now, I’m crocheting again for a change—alternating with knitting.

Knitting socks is always a good idea, and in summer cotton is a great choice. Even sock skeptics will feel like giving it a try here. The mowi heel is child’s play. It is explained using 3 needles (CraSy Trio), but can also easily be converted to a set of double-pointed needles.

Wow, Andrea, that looks so inviting! Too bad you live sooooo far away. ;-)
Your cake would have tempted me, too—and of course your lovely spot in the sun.

It’s very windy here, so it doesn’t really make you want to sit in the garden. But that’s okay—this way I can finally catch up on some things I’ve been putting off.

Belatedly, I’d also like to wish you all the best on completing another trip around the sun and a wonderful new year of life.

Warm regards
Monika

Marion, your sloths turned out great. So cute! And they’re surely happier together. :)
Too bad you live so far away. I would’ve loved to try your cake… I love rhubarb cake. Good thing you reminded me… because we have rhubarb in our garden, too. I’ll go check on it right away today.

Marlene, I really like your tablecloth now. It depends on the size of the table whether you want to leave it as is. And also whether you feel like continuing to knit it.

Unfortunately, the stuffing hasn’t arrived in the mail yet today, so my bunny can’t finally be brought to life. I’ve crocheted all the pieces to the point where I can stuff them now.

I’ll take a look at the clothes—I can start there for now.

Maybe during UFO Week I’ll finally finish my last UFO, which has been sitting around for ages. Speaking of crocheting, I keep noticing that it’s taking a toll on my arm. Knitting, on the other hand, is totally relaxing—I don’t have any issues with it. So from now on, I’ll throw in a few rounds of knitting every now and then.

Maybe I’ll start a second top at the same time in complementary colors. My friend might like that...

Okay, now I’m going to get back to my bookkeeping—I’ve got a lot to catch up on. It’s not my favorite thing to do.

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Andrea, this is a great project for using up leftover yarn—I really like it.

The rabbit’s face looks a little different in the pattern. The corners of its mouth are turned down. I didn’t like that very much. I think it’s supposed to spread good cheer. That’s why I changed it. Otherwise, I’m crocheting it according to the pattern. Today I crocheted a foot and a leg. Now I have to wait for the stuffing. 

The pattern is from GabisDesign—it’s Benny the Bunny, 40 cm tall, with clothes. Just type it into the search bar.

Marlene, the long sweater is super easy to knit and can be made in any size, length, and width—whatever you like. If my friend likes it, I’ll knit one for her, too. She’s (hopefully) coming in May for my husband’s 70th birthday. I’m really looking forward to it.

You’re all working really hard.

I’ve been busy too. My long sweater is finished and now looks like this:



My current project is a bunny that’s really coming to life. It’s one of the patterns I bought here way back at the very beginning and am finally crocheting now. This is helping me use up some of my “diet yarn,” and it also gives me another gift in stock for Juna. Since I used button eyes here, she won’t get it until later. I’m already totally in love with the little guy myself, though. Now I’m waiting for the stuffing I ordered so I can finish the body. Next, I’ll start on the legs. Here’s what he looks like now:

These are beautiful photos—thank you for sharing them. I can really sense how nature is taking a breath and recovering now. Seeing a highway this empty gives a whole new perspective. It just feels good, too.

I’d also like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the winners—and have fun shopping!

A colorful spring meadow on the breakfast table? Here you can crochet one for yourself, which works very well with leftover yarn. Very easy and suitable for beginners. The meadow includes placemats, coasters, flowers, and various egg cozy designs.
