The edge of the blanket is crocheted. All steps are described in detail in the pattern.

Dear friends,
today I had the idea to start a word game here with some really crazy words. Where better than at Crazypatterns? Plus, it’s fun and puts everyone who reads it in a good mood.

Here’s how it works:
Everyone writes a crazy word made up of at least two words. We’ll start with A and then continue through the alphabet. Rule: The word must not actually exist.

So, for example, here’s what doesn’t work: WortSpiel
Here’s an example of what does work: WortBoden

I’ll just start with A, and you can take it from there:

That video with the giant knitting project is so funny! :-)

I’d spontaneously go with the knitting needles, even though it’s a really tough choice.

I agree 100% with everyone who’s spoken here so far, and thank you all for your posts.

Klaus, you did everything perfectly. Honesty is becoming increasingly rare these days, especially on the internet. That makes it all the more wonderful to see it here.

All the authors have put a lot of time and effort into developing the product, producing it, and writing the patterns. Before I started writing patterns myself, I could only begin to understand that.

The reward for it is very small in comparison.

I’m also grateful to every honest customer who buys a pattern multiple times to give it as a gift. And every author will be very happy to see this appreciation for their work.

Kids also love being cozy and warm—and above all, comfortable. These grow-with-me leggings for toddlers ages 1.5 to 3 are knitted in one piece from the top down—all on circular needles!


The pattern makes the leggings very comfortable, with a good fit and plenty of stretch. So there’s even room for a diaper underneath.

Cozy on the couch—for me, that includes wrist warmers or arm warmers. They make everything really snuggly and warm.

Yeah, Heike, I know exactly what you mean. There have been so many patterns here that have inspired me so much that I fell in love with them and just had to buy them.

But once I started writing my own patterns, that feeling faded. Because I just don’t get around to working through them myself.

I don’t buy magazines anymore either, ever since I discovered this platform. I love the detailed patterns here with step-by-step instructions and photos. They make it so much easier for me to work.

This poncho is also a triangular shawl, making it a true transformation artist. With its lace pattern combined with waves, it’s a real eye-catcher.

In my shop there is also a little bear as a door guard, or even both as a set.

Dear Klaus,
I wish you lots of strength, and I hope your mother feels better soon.

We’ve had some lovely visitors so far. And I was given a beautiful, very old needlework book as a gift. It’s a real treasure, and I was so happy to receive it. :-) The book is surely at least about 50 years old—at least judging by the fashion.

This morning I continued working on my patterns. And now I’m going to make some progress on the baby blanket. The needles are already calling. ;-)

Wishing you all a lovely evening with the clatter of knitting needles. :-)

Warm regards from Eastern Bavaria, where it’s not raining right now

What she saw there made her squeal with joy. :-)
So many little elves greeted her.
And they all had a gift for Elisa that she never would have expected.....
