They’ll definitely be able to help you there.

Wow, Marion, your blanket looks absolutely amazing! I really like it. It’s a great way to use up yarn stash and scraps creatively. Awesome!

Teddy Fynn has almost finished his summer outfit. It looks totally cute. A photo will follow by Sunday.

Then the next bear is already waiting for a pair of pants. For a change, those will be crocheted.

I wish everyone here a wonderful weekend!

With the colorful spring meadow, you get a quick and easy project that looks very decorative, not just for Easter. It consists of a large placemat and small coasters, both edged with a floral border. It also includes various egg cups and egg cozies, as well as scattered flower decorations.

Everything is easy to crochet, even for beginners. The pattern is written without abbreviations and is printer-friendly, as the pictures are arranged on separate pages.

Dear Petra, I hope you and your cat can enjoy each other’s company for a long time to come. :-)

My thoughts are with you.

A great weekend project is this cowl and shoulder warmer. It’s quickly knitted from one skein of cotton and extremely practical under a sweater or jacket. A cowl like this really proves its worth during transitional weather. And if it gets too warm, you can simply take it off and tuck it into your handbag.

The pattern is optimized for beginners, has no abbreviations, and is written in a print-friendly format. Basic knowledge is required, though.

Here’s the knitting pattern for the cowl / shoulder warmer.

This owl may have wings, but it stays nicely hanging on the door because it has an important job. It shows exactly whether someone is allowed to come in or not.

Children especially get a lot of joy from it, because they sometimes like to be undisturbed too. The guardian owl is also great to use on the toilet or bathroom door.

It’s very easy to crochet, even for beginners with basic skills. Leftover yarn is enough for this. How about a gift like this for the family at Easter?

The little sporty spring and summer sweater for Teddy Fynn is finished, made from leftover yarn and stash-diet yarn, of course. Now I’m knitting him a pair of sporty pants to go with it, matching his red-and-white flag colors.

A little sneak peek… Fynn from behind in his summer sweater:



I’ll post the full picture once it’s finished. I had to rip out the almost-finished pants today because they didn’t fit. Now I have to start all over again ... sigh.

This is my entry for the spring projects and also for the leftovers challenge, since it only takes a small amount of yarn.

With this colorful spring and flower meadow, you get the flower table scatter included right in the pattern. Everything can be crocheted easily from colorful leftover yarn and is absolutely suitable for beginners.

The pattern is written without abbreviations and is print-friendly.

Here’s the crochet pattern for the colorful spring meadow, including table scatter, placemats, and egg cozy.

But the little ducklings didn’t sleep for long … the Easter Bunny’s singing, their “Mama,” quickly made them wide awake and eager for adventure again.

All children, and even the whole family, will love a door guardian owl or a little door guardian bear like this. After all, they have a very useful function - they guard the bedroom door.

Children sometimes want to lock themselves in. That’s no longer necessary now, because with these cute door hangers they can clearly say stop. So from now on, keys are a thing of the past. 

Both door guardians are very easy and quick to crochet, and you only need leftover yarn for them. The pattern explains every step in detail, so even beginners can manage it well.

Here is the crochet pattern for the door guardian owl.

Both door hangers are also available together as a value set in my shop.



This family of gnomes, complete with a matching gnome house, sparks the imagination of little ones, who will come up with many ways to play with them. In the evening, the gnomes can go to sleep in the house. And during the day, little treasures can be hidden inside the gnomes.

By the way, this is a great idea for Easter. You can also hide Easter eggs inside them, and the gnomes can hide all over the garden - or in the house.

The gnomes and the gnome house (storage basket) are quick and easy to crochet, even for beginners with basic skills. This is also a great way to use up lots of colorful leftover yarn.

Here is baby's first cuddly teddy bear. It is something very special, because it was knitted by Mom or Grandma herself. What could be nicer for a baby or toddler?

The pattern contains no abbreviations; everything is written out. And it is also printer-friendly, because the photos are on extra pages.

This food for the play kitchen brought great joy to my 2-year-old granddaughter. She immediately started cooking with it and feeding her dolls.

Here you get the pattern for a slice of toast, noodles, a piece of butter and small pats of butter, vegetable slices, and a fried egg. This makes the play kitchen perfectly equipped. And it has another side effect—this helps toddlers develop a connection to vegetables.

With this little shopping bag, toddlers can now help Mom, Dad, or Grandma with the shopping. For example, an apple and a banana fit inside. The bag is also a great addition to a play store.

So cute, Marion!

Josefa, isn’t the yarn diet supposed to last until the end of April?

Well, I’ve knitted everything from leftover yarn and, of course, yarn from the yarn diet. Let’s see what else I can finish by the end of March. Right now, I’ve got a summer sweater for Teddy Fynn on my needles, made from leftover yarn and yarn from the yarn diet.

Thanks, Anja! :-)
Yes, I’m really into it too—I only discovered it a year ago. Of course, I’ve had this hobby for a while now. 

Yes, that’s definitely a good idea when it comes to washing. I often use yarn that I’m already familiar with, so I know how it behaves after washing.

By the way, my design ideas usually just pop into my head out of the blue. :-) 

That solved one problem, but the ducklings were all quacking terribly because they wanted their “Mama” in the water, too.

A great weekend project is this bestseller: 
The round collar and shoulder warmer, which even beginners can knit up very easily and quickly.

The pattern is written in a user-friendly way without abbreviations, and the photos are placed so they don't need to be printed out.

Here is the knitting pattern for the round collar / shoulder warmer.

For me, measurements come first. I need to know who I’m designing for and what size they are.

Once I know that, I start by sketching out what it should look like.
I write down the measurements right away.

Then I pick out the right yarn and color combination.

And then I knit or crochet a gauge swatch to at least get the width right.

Only then can I start knitting or crocheting. For me, the preparations and calculations often take more time and patience than the actual knitting or crocheting itself. Often, while I’m knitting, a different color combination or pattern emerges—one that’s even prettier than the one I’d chosen before.

Bring spring into your home with this spring flower meadow, even if it’s (still) cool and wintry outside. Especially around Easter, this table set with the egg cozies, flower coasters, and scattered flower decorations makes a very pretty table decoration.

All pieces can be crocheted quickly and easily, even by beginners with basic skills. This is also a great way to use up colorful leftover cotton yarn.

The pattern is optimized for beginners and contains no abbreviations. The photos are also placed on separate pages so they do not have to be printed.

A cotton headband is ideal for babies and toddlers in spring and summer. I knitted it from the leftover yarn from the pinafore dress. But other leftover cotton yarn can also be used very well here. 

Here is the knitting pattern for the headband.

These matching wrist warmers are great for knitting up leftover merino wool. You can arrange the colors however you like.

Unlike usual, these wrist warmers are knitted in rows instead of in the round. That way you don't need a set of double-pointed needles, which makes them very easy.

It looked absolutely adorable… but what was the Easter Bunny supposed to do now? The little ducklings made that decision for him, because they spotted the water… oh dear.

After all, they saw him first when they hatched… and so he was their mom.
