Dear Elisabeth,

Belated happy birthday to you, and I wish you a healthy and joyful start to this new year of your life.



Warm regards,
Monika

Steffi, your sweater is really coming along nicely. The pattern looks great. Wow, do you have a knitted blanket on your bed? It looks super fluffy. I love my wool bedding too, but it has a different cover on the outside.

Anja, bedding with a granny square pattern—how cool!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, too. Make yourselves comfortable with a hot drink and some delicious pastries, and enjoy your time with your needles and yarn.

We have some snow here, too, but not much so far. It probably won’t stick around for long, which I think is a shame.

Everyone can use dishcloths. Here you’ll get 6 different patterns that you can easily knit yourself.

A doll mommy will definitely be happy about new doll clothes for her favorite (43–50 cm). For example, this diaper, which you can quickly crochet from leftover yarn.

And of course the doll (43–50 cm) also needs a colorful knitted cardigan with a hat so she doesn’t get cold. You only need a few colorful leftover yarns, and you’re ready to go. Even small newborns fit into this, too.

Petra, I’m glad I could help you. A seam down the middle is definitely the best solution.
Yes, the shawl has slip stitches at the top. I just love those... :)

Steffi, thanks for sharing my excitement about the shawl. Yes, I have to say, I love it too. There will actually be a pattern, because the shawl can be knitted with any yarn. My friend asked for it in this particular yarn. The pattern makes it less boring to knit. ;-)
I’m really curious to see your new kites. Paper that looks like it’s knitted? I’m amazed! And I’m also amazed by how much joy you get from crafting these huge pieces. I’m curious to see how it’ll turn out. Knowing you, it’ll definitely be great.

Marlene, you’ve been busy again. Crocheting doilies just isn’t my thing at all. It’s nice that we’re so versatile here.

Have a wonderful weekend!

A colorful little raglan dress for little girls from age 2, which is a joy to knit and gives a hint of spring. The little dress has no seams and grows with the child for a while—it can later be worn as a tunic.

Dear Isabella,

I’d also like to wish you a very happy birthday. May the coming year bring you many moments of happiness and joy.



All my love
Monika

Dear friends, I’m back again—just briefly. You’ve woken me up from my (winter) slumber with all this teddy bear clothing. You’ve been incredibly hard at work—there are so many beautiful things to see. Please forgive me for not being able to go into detail about everything. To be honest, I just don’t have the time right now.

What particularly impressed me was the crafted dragon by Steffi. Wow! I wouldn’t have the patience for that anymore. Crafting isn’t really my thing anyway. But I also really like all the other things you’ve shown here. Petra’s lifted-stitch pattern. Anja’s clay figurine and Japanese glove, Sandra’s unicorn pillow, and Andrea’s colorful blanket with the mosaic pattern. Everything is beautiful.

Marlies, your Kuddel is so cute. I’d totally steal him from you. Take good care of him. ;-)

As for how you knit the hole for the tail in a pair of pants: I did it by splitting the work and leaving a gap open in the middle. Luckily, I only have one teddy bear where I have to do that. The others just have a little stub of a tail, which I don’t have to worry about at all when making pants. Here’s a photo of the pants with the tail.



Now I’d like to introduce you to a new baby who came to me through my swap exchange. A little Baby Born doll, just over 30 cm tall. Juna will get her for her birthday in May, since she really likes dolls and loves dressing and undressing them all the time. Of course, I’m going to make some clothes for her first, which I’m really excited about. The clothes she came with are a great guide for me. I’m curious to see what I’ll come up with. Luckily, I still have a little time.

I actually thought this was the larger Baby Born, but this is fine too. I don’t have a model like this yet. Take a look—this is what she looks like:




And my shawl is getting bigger now too. Here’s what it looks like at the moment:



I couldn’t quite capture the color well in this gloomy weather, but you can get an idea of what it will look like.

Have a lovely day with your handicrafts, everyone.

When it comes to crafts, I just go with the flow. For some other things, I sometimes check the astrological conditions. For example: Mercury in retrograde = don’t sign any important contracts. That’s an interesting topic.

Romantic movies—the cheesier, the better. ;-)

Wallpaper or paint on the wall?

I love both.

What did you play with as a kid: dolls or teddy bears—or something else?

I love both. :)

Vacation: camping, vacation rental, or hotel?

With this poncho and triangular shawl in one, you’ll be all set for cool summer evenings. And the pretty lace pattern with the pink waves is a real eye-catcher. I’ve been asked many times where to buy it. ;-) Recommended for experienced knitters.

A white vest with colorful vertical stripes—it cleverly conceals those little extra curves. The pattern is for size 40/42.

Summer isn’t all that far away. So now is the time to start knitting some pretty clothes. This tunic made of fine cotton has a very figure-hugging fit and features a few lovely little details, such as a heart-shaped lace pattern and knitted-in vertical pleats. The pattern is for size 40/42.

To the knitting pattern and more

I love both.

A hearty breakfast—yes or no?

Bright and colorful, of course :)

Which do you prefer as a gift: potted flowers or cut flowers?

I have one more idea.

Last time, I noticed that the package seemed to get heavier and heavier. It arrived at my place already at the higher postage rate, and I had to stick with that rate. Otherwise, I would have had to take out more yarn than I put in. And that’s not the point, after all.

That’s why I’d suggest that everyone make sure the weight really doesn’t exceed 5 kg. Ina, maybe you could pack the first package so that it weighs just under 5 kg. That would make it easier to stick to the limit.

I like both. :)

Which could you do without: a bathtub or a shower?

Is this a carry bag for dolls that you wear over your shoulder?

Toys, especially clothes for dolls and teddy bears, are among my favorite handmade projects. My two granddaughters benefit from them, but so do my own dolls and teddy bears.

And here is another very popular and useful "toy" that you can crochet. The guardian bear or guardian owl is hung on the children's room door. That way, a child can signal that they don't want any visitors (especially their parents) for a change. ;-)
Both guardians are very easy to crochet from leftovers and psst... they can even be used for the home office.

I’ve been vegetarian for a long time, and sometimes even vegan.

Do you prefer tea or coffee?

I’m more of a night owl—I need some time to get going in the morning.

Living in the city or in the country?

Oh, that’s great—I’d love to join in again. Thanks, dear Ina, for organizing this so wonderfully once more. :)

I’d be in favor of a parcel option costing up to 5.99 euros. Otherwise, it would become too heavy and also contain too much. That’s what I found last time. Plus, the shipping cost is affordable for everyone that way.

It’s good that you mention exchanging only yarn. Last time, with all the other extras, the weight probably went over 5 kg, which doesn’t have to be the case.

So I’m looking forward to it. And I’ll be happy to list my preferences too.

Best regards, Monika

I also have one of those ancient books—which is very precious to me—that’s full of fantastic patterns. I love experimenting with them and using them to create new ones. The tips in there can’t be found in any book today either. Knitting patterns from the 1950s and much more.

Now I’ve finished the four nests—here are the photos.




And I’ve already started the shawl for my friend. Here’s what it looks like so far.

Ruth, I just saw that beautiful snowy landscape you created in the yarn swap thread. A cozy igloo—what a brilliant idea. Those cute penguins definitely won’t be cold there. A picture to fall in love with!

Petra, your new pattern looks great. It resembles my pattern for the baby dress. I had to search for that pattern for a long time—it’s a very old one from a 60-year-old children’s jacket. You can make all sorts of things with it. I’ll send photos of my nests tomorrow. It’s hard to take good photos today—the weather is pretty gloomy.

Have a wonderful day, everyone, and make the most of it.

Oh, that’s so cute, Ruth. The adorable penguins and the snowman are absolutely charming. It’s really a great idea. And a Kuscheliglu is something truly special, too.

Unfortunately, no one has come forward yet to tell me who I have to thank for this beautiful yarn. The jacket is wonderfully soft and warm. It feels fantastic to wear.

Steffi, now I can picture what your sweater will look like. Wow—I already really like the cut alone. Now I can make sense of the pattern, too. It’s going to be a really pretty piece. I could already tell your dragon would find an owner in no time. You’ll probably have to make two of them, whether you like it or not.
If you’d like to knit for little ones, I have a tip for you. Get yourself a cute doll and knit some clothes for it. That’s what I did, too. Even as a kid, I loved dressing up and undressing dolls. Now I make the clothes myself and have fun doing it.

Just a quick note about the nests. I’m in two Facebook groups where many people who care for wild animals are urgently asking for nests and similar items. I had no idea before just how many people there are who do this voluntarily and with so much love. My contribution here and there is just a tiny part of that. The nests I’m sending now are going to someone who specializes in hand-rearing young birds that have fallen out of their nests.

Anja, I hope you’ve gotten through everything okay and can still celebrate your birthday with joy. I also joined the ranks of well-wishers in your birthday thread. That way, you’ll have a little joy reading all the birthday wishes.

Sonja, you have my utmost admiration. I’m truly speechless at the cute designs you always conjure up. The bunnies are absolutely adorable. My two girls will get the washcloths with these designs for Easter. My fingers are already itching to knit. If they hadn’t just gotten some loop scarves, I would’ve started on those too. It’s always a joy to browse through your shop. You really do deserve a break, as hardworking as you are—especially on top of your job, kids, and household chores.

Marion, your little Mäx has gotten some new clothes again. He looks sooooo cute in them. I really love the color combination, too. Your sweater looks really interesting. I’ve never seen anything like it before.

I’ll finish my cardigan today, because the purple buttons from my swap arrived in the mail. They fit perfectly, which makes me very happy. Tomorrow I’ll be able to wear the cardigan, and I’m really looking forward to it.

The fourth nest is almost done, too—just a few more rows to go. Tomorrow I’ll take a photo of them all together.

And if I can manage it today, I’ll start on the shawl for my friend. I came up with the pattern today and am going to try it out to see how it looks. Right now I’m really disciplined and am finishing one thing after another (pat on the back).

Have a wonderful evening, everyone!

Dear Anja,

I wish you all the love and joy on your birthday. May this new year of life bring you everything that brings you joy. Above all, good health—and a pinch of patience wouldn’t hurt—along with many moments of happiness. May an angel always be by your side when you need one.



With heartfelt wishes,
Monika

I used to bake with sourdough a long time ago, but it was too complicated for me. Then I discovered baking with a baking ferment starter, and I really like it. You set aside a portion of it, and you can store it in the fridge for several months. This time, it even lasted me half a year. You don’t need any additional yeast, and you can mix in all kinds of ingredients—for example, adding rolled oats, millet, and so on. That way, the bread turns out differently every time.

I prepare the starter in the evening and bake the next day after breakfast. I place the starter on the radiator overnight with a small board underneath, or in the oven with the light on. The bread pictured above is another example of bread made with a baking ferment starter, with 300 g of rye and 1200 g of spelt, all whole grain.

Otherwise, I prefer to bake with just a tiny bit of yeast and yeast water. You can find recipes and tips for this on smarticular.

different ...

Steffi, you’ve really taken on a big project there. That’s going to be a huge dragon head! It could make a little boy very happy.

Ina, I really like the mustard color, too. The poncho looks really great. I also had to accept that my granddaughters’ parents don’t like pink. Even though I would have loved to…
They also tend to prefer muted colors for their girls. I can understand that, though, because when I was younger, I had completely different tastes than my mom did back then. And as you say, the parents have to like it, not necessarily us.
OMG, Ina, that’s really frustrating—having to unravel a whole third of the finished baby blanket. But I know how that feels. If I don’t like something, I have to start over too, otherwise I won’t enjoy it later. But the blanket is definitely going to turn out beautiful and absolutely perfect.
To be honest, taking a break from crafting would feel like a punishment to me. But if my hand won’t cooperate anymore, I guess there’s no other choice.

I’ve now finished almost three nests for the little birds. I kept crocheting yesterday because I finally want to get it done. There will be four nests in total, and then they’ll be on their way. Here’s a photo of how it looks right now:
