This is so beautifully made—it’s absolutely amazing! All the other ideas in the shop are gorgeous, too. The baking set… and so much more. Designed with great care and lots of attention to detail.

Yes, Katrin, I really loved this Karl pattern too—it’s the first Karl I’ve ever knitted.
I’m going to knit it again for winter using thicker yarn, with long sleeves.

...trying out a new game...

Now that the two of them have met...

Knitting socks with 3 needles—that’s a dream in itself. But add an easy-to-knit heel, and it really sparks excitement. At least that’s how it is with my customers.

Just give it a try. The knitting pattern guides you through it step by step—and in four different sizes, too. The whole family can look forward to new socks.

She almost bumped into Paul there.

Katrin, that looks really promising—what you’ve started there. Yet another brand-new version of the Karl. Awesome! By the way, my girlfriend was super happy with her green-turquoise Karl. :)
Thanks also for your concern. Everything was definitely fine up until yesterday, and things were going well. Let’s see how the rest of the week goes. She has to take it very easy. We’ll know more after the next checkup.

I hope you all enjoy your favorite pastime—knitting, crocheting, or sewing.

... and nature awakens from its slumber.

Wow, what beautiful nature photos you’ve shared. Thank you!

We have a flower meadow just like that right in our garden, right next to the house. It looks sooo beautiful. I’m going to grab my camera and head out there to take a few photos of my own. Here’s a peek at the gorgeous inner beauty of our garden tulips. I love them! And they’re even in my favorite colors.

With these cute rompers, you’ll bring a doll mom and her baby lots of joy. Two sizes (43 to 55 cm) are described, one of which also fits newborns or preemies.

While knitting, you’ll also get to know the simple mowi heel from my socks, though I’ve simplified it a bit here.

You can also dress the little dolls (35–40 cm) nicely with this raglan jacket and the matching hat. Colorful leftover yarn is definitely enough for this. You’re guaranteed to make a doll mom happy with it. By the way, the jacket also fits teddy bears.

Wow, Andrea, what beautiful yarns. I’m sure you’ll work your magic to create lots of charming little things with them.

Now we can look forward to the treasures Marlies will find in the package.

There are a lot of spam messages going around right now, including some from DHL. Be careful! Don’t click on the links in those emails!! I’ve also received spam like that from Hermes, which I deleted right away.

Marlies, but it would have to go to Bstelfan first, since B comes before D. Maybe it’s a different package for you?

Dear Marlies, thank you so much, and a big hug to you too! Yes, this really takes a lot of patience and strength right now, especially for the parents. We’ve already exchanged voice messages and emojis today. She’s not allowed to watch videos at the moment. We both definitely enjoyed that.

Dear Christina, thank you so much for your sympathy as well. When something happens to the little ones, it’s not exactly pleasant, and you feel relatively helpless. If Linja gets through this week well and the test results look good, then I think the worst is behind us for now. She just isn’t allowed to do what she loves most right now—running around, biking, climbing, moving around suddenly, and so on. But the good thing is that she can be at home in her familiar surroundings. Of course, that’s a real boost for her, too.

Now I’ll see what I still have on hand to make some clothes for her teddy bear.

Thanks to you, too, dear Andrea. The younger Juna is the one who learned to ride a bike. The older Linja is the one to whom this just happened. Her guardian angel must have been very attentive. ;-)

I got the news tonight that Linja was allowed to come home today, buuuut… she has to be monitored around the clock to make sure she moves carefully and calmly because of the hematoma in her head. Of course, this will be exhausting for everyone. If she gets through this week okay, then the next step will be complete.

Your support has really done me a world of good right now. Thank you so much, my dears! Now let’s keep our fingers crossed. I’m definitely feeling much calmer already.

Thank you, Steffi and Marion.

Thank you so much, Petra and Ruth! She definitely had a guardian angel, because things could have turned out much worse. Still, even this is bad enough. I haven’t heard back from her parents yet today… I hope everything’s okay.

Juna learned to ride a bike yesterday in the hospital park. The video of it is really great. Those are the bright spots right now.

In this sweet sleeping bag, dolls or even newborns can slumber peacefully and cozily. It is made of merino wool, so it’s cuddly warm and soft. Dolls or babies up to 50 cm fit into it very well.

The sleeping bag is easy to knit. If you like, you can also easily add fewer buttons.

Dolls or teddy bears sized 43–50 cm fit into these pants, which are very easy to knit. Also suitable for beginners with knitting experience.

The pants can be knitted in two versions. A crocheted cord is threaded through the waistband.

Thanks, Anja! We’re keeping our fingers crossed and will just have to wait and see what the next few weeks bring.

Thank you, you two sweethearts, for sharing in the joy. :) I’m thrilled with both of them, too. Juna is sure to love them.

Now I just need to quickly knit some teddy bear clothes for Linja’s teddy bear. She loves getting nice things for him. She needs something to cheer her up and comfort her right now, because she fell out of a tree while climbing on Thursday. She was in the ICU until Saturday and is now on a regular ward. But it’ll take longer than that, because unfortunately, her head took the brunt of the fall. She’s been handling it very bravely so far, and we’re hoping for the very best for her. Our thoughts are always with her. It’s really getting to me a little...

Dear Kathi,

all the best and happiest wishes for your birthday. May this day—and the whole new year ahead—bring you lots of joy, yarn, and good health.



Warm regards
Monika

And here’s the skirt by Juna

Wow, Katrin, your Karl looks absolutely fantastic—I really love the color and shape. I’m going to knit one with sleeves this fall, too, using sock yarn. Thank you so much for your feedback on my Karl.
External links aren’t allowed here in the forum; they’ll be removed. But I’m sure everyone knows what you mean. Whatever you’re knitting is sure to turn out great.

Oh Ruth, your cute little stroller is such a lovely idea. It looks really adorable.

Steffi, that trim is a work of art in its own right. Will it end up as a pillow? I could definitely see that.

Now I’ll show you the finished skirt for Juna and the matching little dress for her doll. I’ve temporarily dressed my little star in it. She looks sooo cute in it.

Great, Petra—I have the pom-pom maker too, and it works really well. Your hat with the pom-pom looks great.

Marlies, sometimes the best thing you can do is forge your own path. I speak from experience. It completely changed my life—for the better. Even though the beginning wasn’t so much fun and I had to find my footing again at first.

I wish everyone suffering from shoulder and joint pain a speedy recovery.

I’ve now finished the skirt for Juna and the matching little dress for the doll. I’ll upload some photos later. Next, I’ll probably knit some clothes for Julian. It’s been a while since I’ve made baby clothes—this time for a boy. I’m already looking forward to it, and I’ve got the right yarn ready to go.

Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone!

I also wish everyone here a lovely, sunny, and relaxing weekend!

I’ll be spending time in the garden too, just like I did today. The plants are already waiting, and of course I’ll have my knitting with me.

These leggings have been happily knitted many times. They’re quick and easy to make and will even grow with your child for several years. They were a long-time favorite garment of both my granddaughters. I used merino wool from Drops, but sock yarn works just as well.

Here you can get to know 6 different patterns and turn them into washcloths. It’s sure to be fun—for you while knitting and also for the person receiving them. Very easy to make and great for leftover yarn balls.

Dolls also love a summer hat, especially when it’s crocheted so beautifully. It’s perfect for using up leftover yarn and can be made in any size. A great little gift for any doll mommy. It’s sure to bring joy.

A sleeping bag for small dolls up to 35 cm - this is sure to make any doll mommy’s heart sing. Now her little darling can fall asleep in its very own sleeping bag at night. It’s quick and easy to knit using leftover yarn.

With this little dress, you can dress up doll children of various sizes—from 35 to 46 cm. The pattern is addictive; it’s very easy to knit, but only in the round. Using two different, coordinating colors creates a great effect.

Margitta, you have my sympathy! Yes, it’s always sad when loved ones leave us. I always tell myself: we’ll see each other again someday. So this wool package is a real comfort package for you.

Dear Moni,

I’d also like to belatedly join in the congratulations and wish you lots of new ideas for the coming year and plenty of joy in everything you do.

Your “soul comforter” looks really funny, and he seems to have a big appetite. I’m sure you’ll always keep him nicely stocked with supplies.

Warm regards

This pretty summer dress fits little girls from about age 2. Later, it can be worn as a tunic.

The dress is knitted top down with a raglan construction and has no seams. It’s an ideal project for using up colorful yarn scraps.

Lethyna, experience has shown that it usually takes 3–5 days for the package to reach the next recipient. I’ll also be away for a few days during that time. I’m sure we can work something out. Ina will probably post about this as well. In the past, the order has sometimes changed.

As for me, I’ll be away from May 10 to 15. I’ll keep an eye on how the package is making its way. But I don’t think it will be my turn yet by then.

Dear Margitta,

that sounds so fun... that your husband likes to drive around. That’s just his thing, and it makes him happy. For us, it’s crafts. You’ve got a great mailman there. :)

We can be grateful for our husbands.

Claudia, your nativity scene is absolutely amazing! It looks so lovingly put together. You’ll enjoy it for a long time, and I’m sure your family will, too.

Steffi, now I can picture your dragon lady better. A real work of art—it looks great.

Petra, your cucumbers look delicious. Olives would be another nice touch of green.

Marlies, I hope your shoulder gets back to feeling really good soon. Sometimes we just take on too much. Let it go. It sounds strange, but it can make a big difference.

I’m going to keep knitting the little dress for Juna’s doll—using the scraps from the skirt.

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Wow, I’m thrilled to see how many of us are joining this time! The swap group is filling up very quickly. Fantastic! I’m already really looking forward to the surprise package—it’s always like Christmas and my birthday all at once.

Dear Ina, I’d also like to thank you again from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work and organization. My husband always helps me send the package on its way. He really enjoys doing that.

I wish us all lots of fun unpacking and immersing ourselves in wool.

Warm regards from Monika

Everyone needs tissues, everywhere. They're sustainable in the larger cardboard boxes, though not necessarily decorative. Now you can remedy that with a really pretty cover. The ideal gift for Mother's Day.

This crocheted cover fits a 100-pack perfectly and looks so decorative that it can even sit on the dining table. In our house, the tissues now even replace napkins. It hardly gets more sustainable than that.

Easy to crochet with lots of enjoyment. This is a wonderful way to crochet up colorful leftover yarn.

This sweet little pinafore dress can transform. That way it fits a baby at 6 months and still fits a toddler at 3 years. The little dress looks absolutely adorable with the knitted-in heart pattern and is also easy to knit.

Awesome—what a delightful Monday announcement, dear Ina!

I’d love to join again; I’ve been wanting to for a few days now. And now you’re making it happen. I’ve actually come across quite a bit of yarn that I’m not using because I don’t like the colors. What a great opportunity!

Sending the package via Hermes is definitely great. I think they’ve adjusted their prices now, too. But 25 kg is quite a lot! It would definitely be best not to max it out to the very last gram. Weighing things is always a bit of a hassle…

In any case, I’m really looking forward to the new swap package. The idea of going by the order of the names is a good one. Otherwise, we could also try drawing names this time.

Warm regards—looking forward
to it, Monika

Yes, that’s right, Petra—the hole will stay there. But it could still be made to look decorative. I’ll think about it.

Ruth, your little crocheted animals made from Kinder Surprise eggs look great! You really have to come up with an idea like that—cool!

The doll children (43–50 cm) want new spring outfits, too. They should be nice and colorful. You can knit this colorful set of sweater, skirt, and hairband using lots of colorful leftover yarn. It’s really fun, and every doll mom’s eyes will light up when you give it as a gift.

Easy to knit if you have some knitting experience.

I designed this sweater especially for larger and chubby teddy bears (45–60 cm). It’s also great for knitting with leftover yarn — very easy with raglan worked from the top. Of course, the sweater also fits larger dolls.

Thanks, Petra! :) Yes, Karl is still waiting for his big premiere moment.

Your CD upcycling project turned out to be a real hit. It looks great. Did you crochet around both sides of the CDs? I could imagine something like that as a coaster, but then the question remains: how do I wash it? Hmm...

I’ve also been wondering if CDs can be painted with acrylic paint, for example—that would be another idea for coasters.

In any case, your version with the little animals on it looks great as a wall hanging.
