It looks great, Marlene.

I’ve now picked out the yarn for my granddaughter’s sleeve scarf. It’s a very soft, cozy—and not too thick—baby merino yarn from Drops. I’ll be knitting it using a combination of orange and purple.

And since I realized last night that I could really use something like this myself, I’m going to knit a second one for myself afterward—this time using sock yarn with cashmere. I’m already looking forward to it.

Since I went on a yarn shopping spree last month, my stash is fully stocked again. Today I realized that I’ve actually used up quite a bit during my 10-month yarn diet. That’s freed up some space, so I was able to store my new yarn perfectly without having to buy any new cabinets. ;-)

Now I’m looking forward to lots of new projects that I can bring to life.

Marion, thank you—that really helps me a lot. I think I’ve figured out now how easy it is. But I’ll probably knit the sleeves in the round and then leave an opening for the scarf. That way, there won’t be any seams to dig in, since Linja wants to sleep in it. I’m already excited to see how it turns out.

Ruth, your tip is also very helpful, because I didn’t even know about that site yet. There are so many tips there on all kinds of questions. Awesome!

Marlene, thanks for the kind words! :)
I always get good ideas from my grandchildren’s mother every now and then. Just like this time. They sometimes present me with a challenge, but that’s okay.

I’ll definitely show you the result here. I’ve learned something new again.

A cute sweater like this with a side button placket could belong to a baby. The doll mom is sure to be delighted when she can dress her little darling just as prettily. Suitable for dolls and teddy bears approximately 45–50 cm tall.

Knitted from the top down with raglan sleeves—everything is explained in detail and is easy to follow.

What could be nicer than compliments from your own children or grandchildren? They’ll be especially delighted with a sleeping bag for their little doll or stuffed animal. That will make them much more willing to go to bed.

The sleeping bag fits small dolls and teddy bears measuring approx. 20–25 cm. It can also be very easily lengthened.

Two different versions are presented.

This cute doll jacket, which also fits tiny babies, together with the matching hat, is guaranteed to get lots of compliments. It can be knitted very easily as a top-down raglan. All measurements are given, as well as the individual rows.

With thicker yarn, the jacket will also comfortably fit regular babies.

That looks great, Marion. I’ve found something similar myself in the meantime. The things you find out there… ;-)

Do you happen to have a closer photo showing how the transitions at the sleeves are worked?
I have the measurements now and can get started.

Ruth, that’s an interesting idea. I’ll have to think about what something like that might look like. I’ve never heard of that before...

These two sweaters and the sleeping bag (bunting bag) can be knitted very easily and quickly from leftover yarn. They fit dolls and teddy bears measuring approximately 35–40 cm.

Have fun making them!

Have you met the “Scrap Eaters” gang yet? They love your leftover yarn and can’t wait to be turned into something creative. They’re a big hit at kids’ birthday parties when every child gets to take one of these “Scrap Eaters” home. They’re perfect for storing pens or other little treasures.

A pair of leggings for a doll (approx. 45–50 cm)—every doll mom will love these. A lovely little gift, very easy to knit, and made entirely from leftover yarn.

Have fun making them!

When it comes to clothing, I definitely prefer knitting, especially since I like knitting better anyway.
It’s just softer, more comfortable, and more stretchy. 

I’m hard at work writing patterns so I can send the yarn bundle to my grandchildren. And whenever I have a free moment, I keep knitting the socks for my friend. They’re looking really good already.

Today I’m also going to make some coconut yogurt, and I’m curious to see how it turns out. It works really well with cashews, anyway.

And since we have so many apples this year, I’ll also be putting some apples in the dehydrator.

Yes, Marion, this set is just for the baby for now.
I’m thinking of knitting a shawl collar for Linja too, using the leftover yarn from the leggings.

My son had an idea yesterday—yet again.

Linja sleeps in a thick sleeping bag. However, her arms get cold at night. He’s now asked me to knit her some sleeves—long arm warmers—to keep her arms warm. He thinks a jacket would be too thick to wear with the sleeping bag.

As you can see, I’m always getting new things to do. This is a great way for me to use up my leftover yarn.

Great—we definitely have to think about the animals. :)
Who’s made their own dog and cat toys? We absolutely have to add those to the house.
There’s still sooo much space left.

Here are a few gnomes with a house… there’s plenty of room for all sorts of knickknacks.

Thanks, Sandra! I love that color combo, too.

Wow, you really ran into a nice, kid-friendly excavator operator there. That was definitely a great experience for Anton.

This owl and this bear have an important and much-appreciated job. They guard the room door. They’re especially popular with kids. With these guards, even a toilet door no longer needs a key. This is particularly handy when there are toddlers in the household.

Both can be easily crocheted from leftover yarn.

Note: The patterns are also available individually.

This cuddly little bear is a breeze to knit and a perfect project for beginners. It’s suitable for babies and can be made from leftover yarn.

This little bear is sure to be adored—after all, Mom or Grandma knitted it herself. And that means it’s filled with lots of love. :)

Note: You can also knit clothes that fit this little bear perfectly.

Marlene, your hat turned out lovely.

I’ve now finished the baby set using the leftover yarn from the leggings. The only thing missing is a ribbon for the mittens so they don’t get lost.

Here’s what it looks like now:



And then today I finished knitting the first sock for my girlfriend.

Despite the not-so-great weather, the weekend was really nice. I finished knitting a set for my grandbaby—socks, mittens, a hat, and a shawl collar.



And today I finished knitting a sock for my friend—it’ll be a Christmas gift. She only wears knitted wool socks. The second sock is already on the needle.

It’s not exactly a decoration, but it’s an absolute must for our breakfast. Here are our homemade rolls. There’s enough for everyone. :-)

Wow, the house is getting prettier and prettier. There’s still so much more…

I’ve got something here for the kids’ room, for the play kitchen—food for the dolls and teddy bears.
I’m sure you all have something to contribute for the kids’ room, too, right?

Yes, Claudia, I’m really impressed by your creative projects with those beautiful fall colors. I hadn’t heard of the “dog stitch” before either… interesting.

I wish you all a wonderful Sunday! The sun is shining here.

Thank you so much, Josefa! I wish the same for everyone who stops by here.
With this weather, knitting is so much fun—wrapped up in a warm blanket—one I knitted myself, of course. ;-)

There’s still sooo much to decorate. I’m sure you’ve made some really great things. You can show them here. Pretty items made of concrete and clay would be interesting too...

Here are a few crochet-covered jars.

Marion, that hat is absolutely adorable—I like it even better than the last one. Your little Max looks good enough to eat in it. Who’s getting it?

The sleeping bag for little dolls (20 cm) is great to knit from leftover yarn. The doll mom will certainly be delighted and will be much happier to go to bed. Of course, the sleeping bag also fits a stuffed animal if it is a similar size.

Two different versions are described. Each also has a different knitting pattern. This makes it easy to find suitable leftover yarn.

To go with the cardigan for dolls, there is also a pair of leggings. They are very easy to knit and quick to finish. This pair was made from the leftover yarn from the cardigan.

Brand new to the collection is this sweet autumn knit cardigan with a matching hat. It fits dolls (and teddy bears) about 50 cm tall, as well as small babies.

The cardigan is knitted top-down raglan style and is easy to make, provided you have knitting experience.
The result is sure to bring great joy—to the doll mom or the baby’s mom.

Happy Birthday, Andy! Today is your day, and you deserve to enjoy it. Wishing you much success in the year ahead and, most importantly of all, good health.

With love
Monika

Claudia, that’s a brilliant idea with the gift bags made from old book pages. You really have to come up with that first. Cool!

Yes, Marion worked very hard on the test knitting, and I think her result—in green—is really great. You’ve already seen my color project, but here it is again—this time together with the leggings. Sternchen is wearing it in one photo, Lena in another. :)

Bright fall colors make dolls really come to life, too. This charming set - consisting of a cardigan and hat - even fits small babies.

It is knitted using the RVO method and is wonderfully easy to make, because all steps are explained well. Knitting experience is recommended.

Marlene, your hat looks really interesting from above. I like the color combination. You’ve been quite productive these past few weeks.

A glass covered in crochet – you can light a tea light inside it. Or use it as a flower vase.

Warm wishes for your special birthday. Enjoy all the gifts this day brings you and make this new year of your life one of your best.

Warmly
Monika

Josefa, you summed that up perfectly in just a few words. And yet my post ended up being quite long. I’m amazed myself at everything I managed to accomplish in September—despite having less time.

Thanks for this thread. It’s always a pleasure to be a part of it.

Yes, exactly—that’s how I’d do it, too. That method should work very well for a hole like that.

Oh Marion, your little Mäxchen looks so cute in that hat. And I’m sure the baby who gets it will look cute too.

Sandra, you can also embroider the numbers on it… I’m sure it’ll look great.

I’m currently working on gloves for Juna—that’ll make it a complete winter set. Since I still have some sock yarn left over from the leggings, I think I’ll knit a scarf to go with it, too. I already have an idea for that...

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with plenty of time to do what you love most.

Today I’m going to finish knitting the baby set for my granddaughter, and I’m really looking forward to giving it to her.

Happy Birthday and have a wonderful day with all the treats and gifts that go with it. May this new year of your life bring you everything your heart desires.

All my love
Monika

A mug warmer is especially nice this time of year.

OMG—that’s sooo cute! So many things to fall in love with. You’ve been super busy. Your bear, Sandra, is mega cute! I just love cuddly bears so much. :)

And those little gnomes—absolutely adorable! They somehow remind me of the Seven Dwarfs... They look really cheeky. I’m sure they’ll have numbers added to them too.

Oh Claudia, how cute is that!! Your bats are absolutely adorable. Did you design them? Really cool!

I finished the little socks for Juna today. At her mom’s request, I knitted them with a little ribbon to tie them on. Juna always kicks all her socks off really quickly. Such great ideas always come up, and I’m really grateful for them.

These cute little gnomes can be crocheted in all sizes and colors and then filled with gifts. There is also a gnome house for a large gift on Christmas Eve.

The gnomes and the house can later be played with or displayed as fun decorations. For example, they are also fun on the breakfast table with a boiled egg inside. There are no limits to your imagination.

Very easy to crochet, even for beginners with basic skills.
