Tina, that’s just amazing—everything you’ve managed to accomplish in this August heat! Wow!
Josefa—be sure to include the “Shopping Queen” as well. Because there are plenty of people here who aren’t in the mood for a yarn diet. That way, they can have some fun too. Tina then won first prize in August... *grin*.

Marion, thanks for the explanation about the leaf pile. What a great idea!

Oh my, that’s so cute, Marion! :-)
What is that colorful thing?

Ursula, I’d recommend contacting support directly. You’ll find the link to support right here at the very bottom on the right-hand side. That’s where you’ll get the most competent answer.

Heike, your unicorns turned out absolutely gorgeous, and everything else you’ve shown here, too. Would you like to share them in the August thread as well? That would put you in a great position to become the UFO Queen:

Happy birthday, and I hope you have a truly wonderful birthday party with great gifts. Above all, I wish you good health and many more creative ideas. :-)

Best wishes
Monika

Happy birthday, dear Petra, and may you have a day full of joy surrounded by loved ones!

May you never run out of great ideas. :-)

Warm regards
Monika

OMG—I’m thrilled by your amazing creations. They look super cute. It was really worth it to finally finish those UFOs. What a great feeling, right?

Hugs, and have a wonderful day, everyone!
(We’re still sweating it out here today...)

Bastelfan, your UFO looks great—I like it.
We’ll make good progress next week. There’s still a little time until then. And luckily, it’s going to cool down starting Friday.

Then we’ll have really nice crafting weather again. I’m looking forward to it!

This pretty girls’ sweater with a collar is something a little different and a colorful eye-catcher. It will grow with her for a while, too. At first it can be worn like a little dress/tunic, and later as a regular sweater. It fits sizes 92–104.

This child's hat with a scarf collar has something special about it:
It can be buttoned and unbuttoned comfortably at the front, and it has a pretty check pattern that came about by chance.
With the pattern, even beginners (with basic knowledge) can easily knit the hat.

The spots on this ladybug potholder are a real eye-catcher in your kitchen. The bugs are also very easy for beginners with basic knowledge to make.

To the crochet pattern

This vest has pretty vertical stripes, which gives it a slimming look. It has become one of my favorite pieces of clothing. A jacket would be too warm for me in the evening; this vest is exactly the right thing to feel comfortable in.

With the pattern, experienced beginners can also make it easily.

Progress update - this is what the baby sweater looks like now

If garments are very stretchy—like knitwear, for example—they can fit 2 or even 3 sizes.

I wear a size 40 in some clothes and a size 42 in others.
It’s best to check the measurements in the description and then compare them to your own.

Hi Ursula, welcome to the forum!

I don’t think everyone here is subject to sales tax. I’m sure someone else will reply and be happy to provide you with more information.

Best regards, Monika

Ida, I think your shawl is pretty too, nice and colorful.
At the moment I’m working on UFO patterns; it’s simply too hot for me to do any crafting.

Yes, I do think I’ll get quite a few things done by then.

I’m wishing you really good stamina now, Nancy. :-)

My UFO — the kids’ bag — will be landing soon too.

This cardigan keeps you cozily warm and has a few practical details, such as pockets that are knitted in on both sides at the same time. The pattern is worked so that the cardigan is both figure-hugging and nicely stretchy. This makes it fit sizes 38–42.

The cardigan is knitted raglan from the bottom up. Recommended for experienced knitters.

To the knitting pattern here

Toddlers (sizes 92–104) will feel very comfortable in this colorful children’s jacket, because it has everything a jacket needs in fall. It is comfortable, has a hood and pockets. Children love that, because it lets them collect their treasures while keeping their hands free.

The jacket is knitted as a top-down raglan, so it has hardly any seams. Only the pockets need to be sewn on from one side. The rest is knitted in.

A cute little raglan sweater for a teddy bear or doll (25–30 cm tall) that will delight the child, inside and out. :-)  The sweater was originally designed for Teddy Fynn.

This sweet little pullover can also be knitted by beginners with the usual basic skills. Just give it a try and enjoy the sense of achievement.

Sandra, the baby class is sure to be great. What a great idea!

Here in southeastern Bavaria, it’s unfortunately still over 30 degrees until Friday. We’re taking advantage of that every day to have breakfast in the garden. It’s lovely. It won’t be long now, and then we’ll be able to do more again.

Knitting and crocheting are always options! :-)

Lucy, I wish you a wonderful and happy birthday surrounded by lots of lovely people.

All the best
Monika

Thanks, Gewitterhexlein! :-) I’ll just join in with the good wishes.

@Bastelfan,
your moose looks great with those splashes of red. Your UFO has been waiting a loooong time for this landing. That’s a reason to celebrate. :-)

Now that he’s alive, he can surely watch you crochet.

Sounds interesting, Sofi. :-)

My baby sweater is slowly taking shape. And the bag is almost finished too.
Photos will follow later. 

It’s still over 30 degrees here until Friday. I’m really looking forward to cooler temperatures ... sweating...

Silke, I wish you all the best on your birthday and lots of joy and inspiration in the year ahead.

Happy Birthday and have a wonderful birthday surrounded by loved ones!

Haha... I’ve already hauled my rocking chair out onto the balcony, Caro. :-)
I love sitting there too.

We’re about to head to the campground in our RV. Tonight, an Italian friend is performing, and we’re looking forward to the concert… and to hitting the dance floor again. The weather’s cooperating too—the thunderstorm is coming this afternoon, and it’ll be clear tonight.

@Sofi
That really is a mammoth project—it looks great! I can imagine that finishing it took quite a bit of perseverance.
Since it’s still warm out, you can still wear it this summer. :-)

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
We’re on the road again in our RV (knitting supplies included), heading to a concert by an Italian friend at a nearby campground tonight.

Ciao until tomorrow—Monika

I wish you a wonderful birthday, Annika, and lots of joy in the year ahead!

All the best,
Monika

With this cozy jacket and the matching hat, baby will be bundled up nice and warm and feel comfortable. Both are knitted from sock yarn. The pattern is simple and also suitable for beginners. Good basic skills should be present, though. The set fits babies from 4 to at least 12 months.

It's best to start knitting right away so baby doesn't get cold on chilly days.

I often sit comfortably with my neighbor over a cup of hot tea, and we knit together. Many ideas come up during these sessions, some of which I’m able to bring to life.

This morning, I came up with an idea for a knitted and crocheted art project. I’m going to flesh that out a bit more and then put it into action. It’s supposed to be finished by summer 2019. There’s still plenty to do—in addition to the other projects I have on my needles—… I’m so excited! :-)

I also take every opportunity to knit or crochet, for example on long drives (my husband does the driving) and on our trips in the RV. In the fall, I’ll be knitting in the RV in the evenings (without TV—we don’t have one).

You can wear this romantic skirt for many occasions—not just in summer. You can easily adjust the pattern to any size, for example even for a child's little skirt.

The skirt is knitted from lightweight cotton, has a pretty lace-pattern hem at the bottom, and the waistband is also a real eye-catcher.

This triangular shawl with its pretty lace pattern and delicate waves will put you in a romantic mood while you knit. It’s a real eye-catcher, and I’ve already been asked several times where it can be bought. What makes it special: you can button it at the front and also wear it as a poncho.

If you’re already experienced at knitting, you’ll have a lot of fun making it. It’s best to get the pattern right away and start immediately.

Here’s where you can find the knitting pattern.

This lucky ladybug potholder has just the right spots to brighten up your kitchen. It’s very easy to crochet, even for beginners who have mastered the basic crochet skills.

Congratulations, Mareike, and have a wonderful time celebrating today. Enjoy it—it only happens once a year. :-)

Lots of love
Monika

Warm birthday wishes and lots of fun celebrating today! Let yourself be pampered—you deserve it.

All the best
Monika

Travel needlework kit ;-)

Thanks, Marion! :-)

Yes, I like the color combination too, especially since I don’t know yet whether my second grandchild will be a boy or a girl. It’s still in the planning phase. :-))

By the way, the sweater is also still in the planning phase. I never know until right before I start how I’ll proceed. It’s always really exciting to start a new project like this.

There’ll also be a matching hat to go with it.

Well, and now the bag is entering its final phase...

And I already have something new in mind, though this time with merino wool. It’s a hat for my granddaughter. I’ve already knitted the gauge swatch, but it’s still too warm for me to do more than that. I start sweating just looking at the yarn. :-)
