Now that I’ve shown my neighbor my finished color projects, her suggestion helped me make up my mind. Unfortunately, I can’t show you any of it just yet. Please be patient until July 27. Then you’ll know why.

I’m totally in love with this set. :-) Ahhh....... and I’m really looking forward to showing it to you here.

But first, there’s still quite a bit to do. And I’m currently designing new hairbands. One of them is for my eldest granddaughter for her 12th birthday. I’ll be able to show you that in the next few days.

Well... and new ideas are already swirling around in my head.

Tomorrow I’ll show you my crocheted basket with the first strawberry. It looks absolutely lovely. Maybe I’ll manage to make a few more berries by then. We’ll see....

Have a wonderful Saturday evening, everyone!

Warm regards from Monika

Wow, Marion, 45 years! I’d like to extend my warmest congratulations to you—or rather, to both of you—on your wedding anniversary. That’s quite an achievement!

Christina, 47 years—I’d also like to congratulate you on having the man of your dreams. Because otherwise, so many years together just wouldn’t be possible, right?

I have my dream man, too—we’ve been together for 30 years this year. Our 26th wedding anniversary is on July 24.

Sandra, I hope you have a lot of fun at the Schlagermove tomorrow. I’m already looking forward to seeing your photo in that colorful dress. :-)

Petra, I sincerely hope your cat can pass away without suffering.

I’m going to enjoy the garden and take photos for the color project. I still need to finish writing the patterns, too. Oh, and in the garden, I’ll crochet a few strawberries and cherries so the berry basket gets full. :-)

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Warm regards from Monika

Need a weekend project? Then this little bag for 10 tissues is just the thing. The bag is quick and easy to crochet, and you can watch your leftover yarn disappear as you go.

This feminine triangular shawl (+ poncho) with a lace pattern and waves with a hint of pink is ideal for cool summer evenings on the patio ... for going out ... for taking a walk ... or even for festive occasions.

You’ll always look enchanting in it.

Oh, wow, that yarn looks great, Sandra! I’m just imagining what it’ll look like once it’s knitted up.
A package like that feels like Christmas, doesn’t it?

This vest was knitted from bouclé cotton and has something special: vertical stripes that you don't have to knit in. They are crocheted on later. I’ll show you exactly how that works in the pattern.

Of course, the vest can be knitted with any other wool or cotton yarn. You can also adjust the sizes by using thinner or thicker yarn. This one fits size 40/42.

Thanks, Mel, for the great tips! :-)

I didn’t know about the third tip yet. I’ll definitely give that a try.

I always have several projects on the go. Sometimes new ideas pop up that I just have to try out. Or I want to finish multiple projects at the same time.

Often, I’m working on a complicated project that requires my full concentration. And then I need something else on the side—something simple that I can knit or crochet even when I’m with other people.

UFOs happen when, for example, I get stuck on a project. Maybe I don’t like it, or the yarn is just no good. Or I’m waiting for a flash of inspiration on how to continue... ;-)

Well, and sometimes I just lose the desire to keep working on a particular project because I find something else much more exciting at the moment.

That’s a lovely idea, Marion. :-)
Yes, you know, everyone has their own preferences, and mine are definitely knitting—or crocheting too, as long as it’s not too complicated.

Sandra, I’m really looking forward to your photo! :-)

Marion, your pot holders look great! Tunisian crochet, and with a pattern too—you have my full admiration! Because honestly… I’d rather knit. ;-)

Sandra, I’m already curious to see what pretty things you’re preparing for the baby. You’ll definitely show us, right?

Didn’t you want to show us your colorful dress on? ;-) Or did I miss something there?

Happy birthday and have a wonderful day with lots of presents!

Best wishes,
Monika

Where we are, it’s sunny to partly cloudy with a cool 20–22 degrees. So it’s perfect for crafting on the patio. It’s going to get warmer over the next few days, but that won’t stop me either.

Best regards, Monika

Mel, I’d give that kind of yarn away. I’m sure there are people who’d want it. Maybe your cats can play with it?

Mel, your blanket looks beautiful!

I have almost no leftover yarn left. I’m crocheting the last bits into fruit for my granddaughter’s play kitchen.

As for the yarn I don’t like, all I have left is this thick, fluffy plush yarn. But I don’t feel like working with it in the summer. And I can’t think of anything to make with it either. It was just one of those typical “spring yarns”... and now it’s just sitting there, waiting for better times. ;-)

I’ve already processed 5 kilos of jostaberries today. What a treat—I love them!
Our landlord gave them to us as a gift; that was really great!

Well, and I’m still working on my UFOs... My unfinished projects from last month will finally be finished in the next few days, and then I’m already thinking about what to start next.
