Note: There are also matching pants in my shop.

The grow-with-me leggings are just right for little girls from about 1.5 to 3 years old. They are comfortable and keep them nice and warm. Since the yarn I used has the same yardage as sock yarn, sock yarn can also be used for them.

Easy to make for experienced beginners.

Here's something for your ears, and it could become the next trendy hit. The crocheted ear pads turn any pair of headphones into a one-of-a-kind piece. They're comfortable to wear, cost only a few bits of leftover yarn, and are eco-friendly too. 

A great project for beginners. Basic skills are required.

These ear pads for headphones are super quick to crochet from tiny bits of leftover yarn. I’ve already gotten orders from family members since my husband is so thrilled with them.

They make every pair of headphones truly unique. You’re helping the environment and saving money, because from now on, you won’t need expensive plastic ear pads anymore. Made from yarn, they’re much more comfortable and look much nicer.

Yes, Claudia, I feel exactly the same way. I always know in advance how my gift will be received—or at least I have a hunch...

Oh wowwwww... you guys have been so busy!! Your creations are beautiful. I feel like it’s Christmas Eve in here right now.

I especially think the little snowmen are absolutely adorable.

I’m not quite done with the sweater for my granddaughter yet. But it should be finished by Wednesday at the latest and ready to be sent off. Basically, all that’s left is the collar and the buttons.

Meanwhile, I’ve crocheted some cozy ear pads for my headphones and even wrote up the pattern. Here’s what they look like in light gray:



Time for the final push! :)

Love, Monika

Oh, Heike, you’ve already gotten a lot done. :)
I just need to finish knitting the sweater for my granddaughter. I still need to knit the rest of one sleeve and the collar. Then it can be on its way.

Best regards, Monika

I’ve now crocheted ear pads for my headphones, too. They feel super cozy and warm on my ears. :) I’ve even finished the pattern. So I’ve reached my goal for the day.

I want to have the sweater for my granddaughter finished by Wednesday at the latest, because it still needs to be mailed. Phew...

I only managed to do a little Christmas baking here and there. But I plan to do some more this week.

My husband asked for these crocheted ear pads for St. Nicholas Day. A good idea, I think. They’re cozy and very comfortable against the skin. Plus, they’re eco-friendly and extremely inexpensive. Because all you need is a small amount of leftover yarn.

Perfect for beginners with basic skills.

These cozy ear pads for headphones have just arrived in my shop. They are quick and easy to crochet and much more comfortable to wear than the usual foam pads. They’re also eco-friendly and super affordable, since you only need very small amounts of leftover yarn for them.

Well suited for beginners with basic skills.

Just added to my shop is this cozy and practical ear cushion for headphones made from a cuddly warm wool blend. It’s very quick and easy to crochet using leftover yarn. 

My husband had this brilliant idea when a foam ear cushion started falling apart and the replacement was quite expensive. He is absolutely thrilled with the crocheted version, as it feels much more comfortable on the ears.

The pattern includes 2 versions. Well suited for beginners with basic knowledge.

Thanks, Mel. That’s a good tip for everyone else, too, in case it ever becomes a problem.
In any case, I hope it never happens to me.

“May I take all the beautiful gifts you’ve conjured up from the yarn? In return, I’ve brought you something that will delight you hard-working little helpers.”

The Christ Child pointed to the yarn basket, which was suddenly brimming with the finest, most beautiful yarn.

A joyful murmur rippled through the room...

I also wish everyone a wonderful third Sunday of Advent.
We already went for a walk in the snow today—it was really nice.

Oh, Marlies, I’m so happy for you! <3

Sandra, your crackling, rattling butterfly turned out really cute. It’s sure to bring joy.

A poncho or shoulder warmer made from sock yarn is just the right thing to snuggle into right now. This one is easy to knit, even if you're a beginner (with basic skills).

How about a few eye-catching potholders? These lucky ladybugs are sure to be a hit everywhere, and then you can crochet several right away.

Great for beginners, they come off the hook quickly and easily.

I’d also like to wish everyone here a lovely, cozy Advent weekend. Make yourselves comfortable by candlelight with delicious cookies, mulled wine, and, of course, don’t forget your knitting needles and yarn.

I’m in the final stretch of knitting a sweater for my granddaughter out of sock yarn. It’s set to be sent off next week.

Warm regards
Monika

Mel, that sounds interesting—can you mention it here too?

The Christ Child!!!
The room shone with the brightest light, and the needles froze in awe and wonder...

I wish you a wonderful birthday with all the trimmings. Enjoy being celebrated and may you receive plenty of gifts.

Warm regards
Monika

@Häkeltrulla,
I know you’re well on your way and you’ll make it too. Keep enjoying turning your mountains of yarn into beautiful creations.

Warm regards
Monika

Wowwww! Hats off to you, Marion—that’s quite an achievement. And I’d like to congratulate you wholeheartedly on this honorary title. 70 kg of yarn—that’s quite a feat! 12 kg actually sounds like very little… but once turned into projects, it’s a lot again.

You’ve got every reason to look forward to your next title.

By the way, I’d like to stick with it for a loooong time this time, too. Looking at my stash, I think I could probably tackle the “Super Wool Mountain Conqueror” as well—at least in terms of my supply.

I’m also happy to be here and to have this great exchange with all of you. It’s just more fun and incredibly motivating to make progress on the UFOs and other projects. Without you all and Josefa, some of these UFOs would probably never have seen the light of day.

I wish all of you here—including Josefa—a cozy final stretch leading up to Christmas. :)
It’s great to have you all here!

Warm regards,
Monika

P.S.:
Yes, “Super Wool Mountain Conqueror” sounds great and fitting! I’m all for awarding this honorary title to the truly brave. Thanks, Mel, for the idea.

The knitters breathed a sigh of relief… phew, that was a close call.
Then the door suddenly opened again… and who was standing there in the doorway?

Thanks, Marion! :)
I think they’re great too, and I’m going to crochet some myself. In any case, we don’t need to buy plastic ones anymore—the wool ones are much more comfortable.

A muffled “Help!!!” from the yarn basket alerted her that both knitting nancies were missing. Now they had to be freed quickly.

Oh, and I also have the following on my needles:

This will be a cozy, warm bottle cover for our thermos (also my husband’s idea) :)



And this will be the sweater for my granddaughter:

Now I can show you the St. Nicholas Day gift I made for my husband. He wanted new ear pads for his headphones made of wool. So I just crocheted them for him. Here’s what they look like:

These are beautiful, Marion!

Oh, and I can also put a few stars on the table—here they are (straight from my living room):

Mel, I’m looking forward to seeing your pictures. Once I get the photos of the St. Nicholas gift for my husband from him, I’ll show it to you all...

Oh, how lovely, Marion! That looks great—really festive and colorful.
It goes well with our shared Christmas story...
You could use it to continue telling that story... The needles have already made quite a few things. Maybe something like that too?

... the broom that was standing next to the door had to be snugly crocheted over in wool.
In all their eagerness, however, the needles had overlooked something.... oh dear...
