Dear Waltraud, I’d love to visit you at your new shop in spring. I’m already saving up … because my “wool diet” will be over by March at the latest. ;-) I’m really looking forward to it!

We’ll talk on the phone — I’d love that.

Take care and sell your yarn so you can completely redo everything in your new shop. I really hope you can!

Warm regards, Monika

I’m doing great, too. I’m almost done with my new projects, which I’m really enjoying. Other than that, I’m busy using up my leftover yarn. ;-)

The sun was shining brightly today, and I already got a taste of spring while out for a walk.

Josefa, I’m glad you’re doing well, too!

Yes, Heike, I agree with you. It’s just the most beautiful and harmless addiction in the world. :-)
We’ll stick with it—at least until the end of January. It’s only three more weeks... 

I’ve been really good so far and haven’t bought any new yarn, even though the temptation was huge. Because my favorite online shop was having a sale... *sniff* and *pat on the back*.

Now I’ve taken photos of my leftover yarn, which I’m going to use up now, at least some of it. I’ve already started. But I won’t reveal what it’ll be until it’s finished.

I’m going to make something beautiful out of these leftover bits of yarn (or at least parts of them):



I’ll use up my stash little by little, since that’ll surely take months. I’ll keep sticking to my “diet” — let’s see how long I can hold out. ;-)

Dear Christina, why not take a look here—there are some lovely items:

Happy birthday, Daniela, and all the best and lovely things for the new year of your life!
Treat yourself to a fantastic celebration!

As soon as my two main projects are finished, I’ll be putting my leftover yarn to use. I already have some pretty good ideas for that.

It’s easy when the leftover yarn is all the same quality and yardage.
It’s harder when the leftover yarn is a hodgepodge of all sorts of different yarns. But there’s a use for that, too...

I’ll check in when everything is ready—with a before photo ... and maybe an after photo as well.

Leftover yarn is perfect for crocheting this cute gnome family. They look adorable in any color. What makes them special is that you can fill them with all sorts of little treasures.

As gift wrapping, they look just as good as they do on the breakfast table as egg cozies.

They are quick and easy to crochet and still leave plenty of room for creativity, for example with the faces. Children big and small will love them.

Here’s a matching baby jacket or pair of pants to go with the hat.
Even beginners with basic skills can handle these. The pattern consists only of knit and purl stitches and is explained in detail.
These sets were knitted using 6-ply sock yarn.

The hat and jacket set (fits sizes 62–80):

And here’s the hat and pants set (same size). Here, the reverse side of the pattern is on the outside.

These wrist warmers are very easy to knit, using only knit and purl patterns. The wrist warmers also have slipped stitches.

They are easy to knit from 100% wool or sock yarn.

And here are the arm warmers with a mock cable pattern made from knit and purl stitches, with 2 color examples.

And here for the ladies—a hat with a loop scarf.
It keeps you very warm thanks to air-cushion stitches and is easy to knit even for beginners.

Here’s the knitting pattern for the warm ladies’ set.


And of course there’s something for the gentlemen too—a hat with a scarf collar.
This set is also knitted with air-cushion stitches and keeps you nice and warm.

Here’s the knitting pattern for the men’s set.

@Nadeleule
OMG, that is so cute! :-)

@Nadeleule, that looks really interesting, what you’re making there... Will you tell us what it’s going to be?

Here are some belated birthday wishes. :-)
Dear Yvonne, all the best for the year ahead—may it bring you lots of wonderful surprises.

Warm regards
Monika

Belated birthday wishes from me too, Kathrin.
May the coming year bring you lots of joy and happiness.

Happy birthday, dear Sonja, and all the best for your new year! :-)

Treat yourself and let yourself be celebrated.

This flower pot cover with butterflies brings those first spring feelings. With a pot of daffodils or tulips, a pot like this also makes a wonderful gift.

The flower pot cover is quick and easy to crochet, even for beginners. The colors can be chosen freely. This is just an example.

@ Wollefaden
Wow, you really are busy. After that great sweater, now the next piece. The color combination looks fantastic, by the way, and so does what you've already knitted. I also really love working with slipped stitches.

@ Christiana

What you've started there looks great too. Are those going to be gloves?

I'm still working on my two projects, but I don't have much time for them right now. Since I'm writing patterns for them and don't have the right light in the evenings for the detail photos, it's taking longer than usual. But it'll get there... ;-)

Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

Best, Monika

@ Wollefaden
Wow! That looks great! Congratulations on this stylish piece for your husband!

I also had a very peaceful start to the new year. Luckily, the storm wasn’t as severe here as forecast.

Right now, I’m finishing up two projects—one crocheted and one knitted. This week, I’m setting aside plenty of time for them, and it’s really enjoyable.

I already have some ideas for how to use up my leftover yarn. A bigger project won’t get started until February.

The most important thing is that I’m feeling well. Dear Ida, I hope you get well soon! Make a point of treating yourself to some rest—it’ll definitely do you good.

Take care, everyone!

Best, Monika

This cowl looks great and also keeps your shoulders and décolletage wonderfully warm. The best part: It only requires one skein (50 g) of cotton and is a breeze to knit—even for beginners.

You can basically use any type of yarn here. The shoulder warmer is sure to look great even when made with leftover yarn.

With love!

Congratulations, dear Rosi, from me too.
Celebrate your life every day—it’s so precious.

All my love to you!

A round collar with many uses—for example, as a shoulder warmer. Very practical on cold days with sweaters that have a neckline. The collar can also be worn well as a turtleneck.

Best of all: This shoulder warmer can be finished quickly almost in passing, even by beginners.

You might even get the creative idea to use it as a baby skirt. ;-)

Here is the pattern for the matching baby jacket to go with the previous pair of pants, which is knitted from the same 6-ply sock yarn and also fits sizes 62 to 80.

The knitting pattern, consisting of knit and purl stitches, is very easy to knit, even for beginners with basic skills. The “purl-side” version shown here was used to match the pants. As you can see, the pattern looks great from both sides.

The best part: The baby jacket is knitted from the bottom up without any seams and can be finished quickly.

This round collar is a wonderful shoulder warmer and especially practical for wearing underneath on cold days. The collar also looks good folded over.

Best of all, it can be knitted in one or two evenings, even by beginners. It’s also a great idea for leftover yarn, if you like it colorful.

This cozy baby jacket with a matching hat is knitted from 6-ply sock yarn and fits sizes 62 to 80.

Belated birthday wishes are still fluttering in here.
Barbara, I wish you health, joy, and everything you wish for in the year ahead.

Best wishes from Monika

Belated birthday wishes bring joy too. :-)
So, Jennifer, I’d like to wish you a wonderful year ahead filled with lots of happy moments.

Best wishes, Monika

Belated happy birthday, Mandy, and here’s to another great year!
I hope you enjoy this new year of your life!

I’d also like to join in on the good wishes here.
Above all, I’d like to thank my fellow authors for their support with any questions I had. That was incredibly valuable to me as a newcomer here.

And I’d also like to thank my customers. Today, I was delighted to see that one customer has already made six purchases from me. She was one of the first, which makes me especially happy.

I’m looking forward, together with all of you, to a successful year in which we’ll continue to have a lot of fun with our projects.

Stay healthy—or get healthy! That’s the most important thing.

Warm regards
Monika

Belated happy birthday, Petra!
Have a wonderful time and do what brings you joy as often as you can.

My goodness, Josefa, you’re really hitting the ground running this year and making sure there’s never a dull moment here. :-)

I’d love to join in—I’ve already put myself on a yarn diet anyway. This time, I’ll have no trouble sticking with it until January 31. I’m not sure yet how much of my yarn mountains I’ll be able to work through.

I don’t have any UFOs at the moment, because I’m currently finishing up two projects. Let’s see how things look by the 21st. I’m sure there’ll be something new on the needles by then. I’ve actually got some new ideas for small projects using leftover yarn. So this works out pretty well.

Photos will follow when I’m ready.

Warm regards to everyone from Monika

Dear Steffi,
I’d like to wish you a wonderful vacation. Relax and let all your new ideas blossom for your writing project. Good luck with that, too!

Lots of love, Monika

Let me add my congratulations too. :-)
Belated happy birthday, Rosalinde.
May this new year bring you happiness, joy, and many wonderful moments.

Dear Josefa and everyone else here at CP—authors, team, and customers!

To all of you, and to me of course, I wish peace, joy, abundance, lightness, and plenty of moments of happiness. As we all know, you can’t buy those anywhere. You simply receive them as a gift.

These cute baby pants keep little ones cozy and warm. And the best part: they even grow with your baby from about 3 months to 12 months. There’s also a matching hat.

Even beginners with basic skills can knit the pants and hat quickly and easily using the pattern. The stitch pattern, as well as everything else, is explained simply and clearly.

The pants are knitted from the bottom up without seams using 6-ply sock yarn.



Click here for the knitting pattern for the baby set (pants and hat).

These two hat sets are knitted in the same stitch pattern, which creates an insulating air-cushion effect. This keeps the hat super warm, even in windy weather.

Both hat sets can be knitted quickly and easily by beginners too with the pattern. 

Here is the "Rainbow" model for women - hat and cowl (just click the picture):



And here is the "Mustermix" model for men - hat with neck warmer (just click the picture):





This cozy, warm cardigan made of pure natural fibers (merino wool and alpaca) is just the thing for cold days. It has a figure-hugging fit, looks great, and keeps you snug and warm.

The waffle pattern is easy to knit and has the added benefit of both hugging the body well and being very stretchy. That’s why this cardigan fits sizes 38 through 42.

The cardigan also features practical pockets and is knitted from the bottom up using the raglan method. There are seams only on the sleeves, which are crocheted together at the end.

Difficulty level: medium - some knitting experience is required

Arm warmers or wrist warmers are just the thing for winter right now. Because when your hands are warm, your body usually is too.

Both the wrist warmers and the hand warmers can be knitted up quickly and easily, even by beginners. Everything is described in detail in each pattern.

Simply click on the photos and you’ll go straight to the matching pattern:

Children need warm and comfortable clothing. That’s where these leggings come in just right. They also have the advantage of growing with your child for a while, from approx. 1.5 to 3 years.

The leggings can be knitted from any sock yarn with the same yardage. I knitted them from pure natural fiber—merino wool with alpaca content (Drops FLORA).

They are knitted in one piece from top to bottom, so there are no seams. Even beginners will get along well with the pattern.
