Marlies, my husband loves everything I cook and bake. That’s not the problem. Buuut—today I finally got around to baking the sheet gingerbread. It just came out of the oven, and the chocolate glaze still needs to dry. After dinner, we’ll have one or two pieces for dessert. I’m already looking forward to it!

I’ll be making cookies in the next few days, too. Now that I’ve gotten started.

Oh, Anja, you’re such a hit. You’ve won some yarn again. Well, that’s just great!
Why don’t you just start on that UFO—and then you’ll finish them all in one go and become the UFO Queen. What do you think?

Sandra, your warm clothes look great. It’s nice that you treated yourselves to a kid-free weekend for once.

Oh, how I envy you all. I haven’t gotten the urge to bake cookies yet this year. Inge, you can lend your hubby to the rest of us here. Some of us could really use him.

Everything looks sooo delicious at your place, and Ina’s place looks so cozy. I’d love to be sitting there with you right now and sneak a little taste of those treats.

Oh, so much has happened here again! I’m not online that much right now—I’m enjoying real life more and, of course, knitting too. I actually have something new to show you. But first, I’m going to check out all the wonderful things you’ve written and shared.

Sonja, I totally believe you that the Magic Park was beautiful. I guess the cold is just part of the experience—but thanks to mulled wine, it’s bearable.
I just saw in the new items that you’ve finished your scarf. Wowww! It looks absolutely gorgeous. That’s such a great idea. And you’re super fast at everything. The colors, too—really lovely and wintry. And your Lucy(?) looks great with it.

Steffi, your lovesick blackbirds are probably more like two squabblers defending their territory. The male blackbirds around here do that often too, though usually in the meadow or up in a tree. The windowpanes aren’t exactly the ideal spot for a duel like that.
Your little bear cowl looks adorable—just like Sonja’s. When I read about your little mistakes, I had to smile… because I make one every now and then, too. But if it’s not noticeable, I just leave it as is. ;-)
Yeah, I also sometimes find that I’m not satisfied with the yarn I’m using for a project. But most of the time, I just swap it out. Your stollen looks delicious! Hmmmm… And your decorations are really cute.



Andrea, I rarely crochet—I prefer knitting. I already have that thick, colorful yarn on my needles… I’ll show it to you in a minute.

Marlies, double-face knitting isn’t nearly as difficult as it looks. I did have to practice a bit at first, though. It got easier and easier after that.
You’ve made a lot of pretty things, too. Washcloths, a cucumber for the Christmas tree, a door wreath, and cute snowman gift decorations. Those are the kinds of things I wouldn’t really feel like making—they’re too fiddly for me. But who knows what else I’ll come up with. Thanks to Sonja, DF made it onto my list too.
The money cake is a hit! I think people of all ages would love that. I find it very original. Great idea! Nah, men can’t listen—I see that every day. They just tick differently than we do. I once saw a funny video about how men’s brains are wired differently. Yeah, no joke! They have these “boxes” for specific topics. And if something doesn’t fit in there, it goes into the “Nothing” box. It’s different for women. When they hear any term, their brains go into overdrive and look everywhere for connections. Ever since then, I’ve understood that and cut my hubby some slack.

Anja, your posts are a blast. Especially when you’re annoyed. Hilarious! Don’t worry—even my former swan neck is now a turkey wobbly-throat sack :-)
Your scarf is definitely going to be great! Hang in there!

So, now I’ll show you what I’ve started with the new colorful yarn.
Yesterday morning it looked like this. The first piece was finished—a whole skein in total.



And now it looks like this. It’s going to be a colorful patchwork blanket—all different patterns. It’s already grown quite a bit, and I’m now on my sixth ball of yarn.

Dear Marlies,

yes, that’s exactly how I’d like it to be when my time comes—to be able to pass away peacefully without suffering. We can be happy for these people, because they were spared a great deal of suffering, especially since they also reached a ripe old age.

I’ve heard about this quite often. And I think it used to be quite normal. Maybe we’re too used to the idea that someone has to be sick before they die? Just like with your uncles, death would be something no one needs to be afraid of.

Dear Ina,

Yes, I also think that you deserve this little extra. The idea alone, the preparation, and overseeing something like this all take time, effort, and love. So I'd like to say thank you again, and I'd be happy to join in again in January.

Until then, I wish all of you a lovely Advent and Christmas season. We'll stay in touch here, after all.

Warm regards to everyone from Monika

Thanks, Marlene. :)

Ines, that would be wonderful if you could celebrate your birthday with your grandson. There couldn’t be a better gift! My granddaughter was also born on my birthday. I’ve actually noticed that this happens quite often—that children share a birthday with a relative, often with their grandparents. My son, for example, was born two days before his grandpa’s birthday.

Sonja, I’d completely forgotten to mention the bird that flew up to your window. I’m always so sorry about that. That’s happened to us quite often, too, even though we have narrow windows. Since I’ve hung various decorations there, it’s stopped. They simply don’t see the window, especially younger birds. How wonderful that he recovered after all.

I wish you all a cozy evening doing what you love most. :)

Yeah, exactly—that’s how I’ve always done it too, and I did it that way for a pair of leggings, for example. But in the video I found, the cast-on was crocheted around a knitting needle. I’m not sure if that really makes sense.

My goodness, you’ve all been writing and creating so much again. Since I’m online less these days, I don’t get to check in here as often as usual. And when I do, it’s only briefly. Right now, I’m anything but “Turbo,” at least when it comes to knitting.

Steffi, your little bear neckwarmer looks absolutely adorable.

Marlene, I love the pattern on your neckwarmer. We also have someone on the autism spectrum in our family. You are one of those very special people with special abilities.

Ines, thanks for your feedback on the dishcloths. They’re a great way to use up colorful scraps. Mine weigh just under 30 g. Your brown cow is absolutely adorable. How do you always manage to conjure up such cute and funny characters? I really admire that a lot. And the outfit for the baby—very original. Is it going to be a little Santa Claus?

Oh dear, Anja, that doesn’t sound good at all. Luckily, you’re back home and can rest up. You asked a very good question there: What brings us joy in life? I spend a lot of time in nature, often light candles, and have a bouquet of flowers every now and then. Crafting is an important part of my joy in life—creativity in general. It lets me forget everything around me. Painting—that also brings me joy, as does beautiful music. By the way, something that helped me shake off the winter blues years ago was a book—“Healthy in 7 Days” by Dr. Raimund von Helden. It really opened my eyes. And ever since then, we’ve made it through every winter without feeling down or catching colds.
By the way, we also feed our hedgehogs until they go into hibernation. Now it’s finally cold enough.
Your heron story, by the way, is a real blast!
Anja, you can easily manage 4 more rows so we can marvel at your work. :)

Petra, you’ve gotten a cute commission for that Christmas hat.

So, now I can show you my latest acquisition—a really great swap. A fantastic package of yarn arrived yesterday. Half of it (the colorful part) will become a blanket. The felting yarn will be home to some little squirrels next year. And I’ll find a way to use up the rest somehow. Colorful cotton is always a good thing. Of course, I celebrated it in style. The yarn was packed in three layers in the box. Here’s a peek so you can share in the joy:

Layer 1—top



Layer 2—middle



Layer 3 – bottom (the left row was already in the last picture)

I searched for it on YT and watched a video about it. I haven’t done it that way myself yet; the idea is probably to make it looser. But you can achieve that in other ways too, namely by knitting on the stitches to the left or right. Garnstudio has good videos for that.

From what I saw, I’d find that much too cumbersome.

Inge, that looks really beautiful. Unfortunately, I don't have the time...

The user below me likes snow.

This owl with two faces has a very special function. It clearly indicates whether the room’s occupant doesn’t want to be disturbed right now. Kids especially love it! The owl is very easy to crochet using leftover yarn. It’s also very useful for working from home, by the way.

Another quick project is this decorative tissue box cover with butterflies and hearts. All you need is leftover yarn in your favorite colors. It’s always a hit.

So, the huge package was mailed today and is now on its way to Ina. I’m curious to see what she thinks of it. It definitely looks gigantic. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a photo before sealing it up. Maybe Ina can do that then.

It was a great project, and I’m already looking forward to the next one.

Yesterday, I knitted a gauge swatch with the soft pink yarn (the thick skeins). It’s super fluffy. It goes well with some leftover gray merino yarn, and I’m thinking about knitting a sweater out of it. Otherwise, a vest would be pretty nice, too.

Wow, that’s a real work of art!

Cute and practical children’s clothing is always in style. That’s when all the love and effort you put into knitting really pays off. Some of these designs even grow with the child.

Petra, I’m going to give these all away. I’ve noticed that they get a bit stiffer after washing. I’m knitting them with a size 3 or 2.5 needle, using yarn with a length of 125 m/50 g, 100% cotton. Since I knit quite loosely, I try to knit as tightly as possible. That works pretty well with a smaller needle. Since they’re washcloths, they need to be a bit softer—that’s why I don’t really like crocheted ones.

Today I finally finished knitting the loop for my husband. Here’s what it looks like. Unfortunately, the lighting isn’t great for photos today:



Now I’m planning to make some loops from leftover yarn for my two granddaughters. Those will be quick to whip up in between other projects. Before that, I’ll knit a few gauge swatches with different yarns. That should keep me busy for the evening. :)

Dear Andrea, belatedly, I wish you a wonderful new year of life with lots of lovely surprises. :)



Warm regards
Monika

Oh Tina, that looks so delicious! :) It looks great—I can practically smell it.

False—not at all since the pandemic; I cut my own hair.

The user below me likes to listen to music during the day.

Oops, the dishcloths actually belong at the bottom...

Oh my goodness, things are really hopping here again! And soooo many beautiful things to look at!

Marion, what a lovely doily—or is it a placemat? It could be either. Either way, it’s very Christmassy.

Petra, your hat is also very pretty. I really like patterns like that. And the color is right up my alley, too.

Steffi, your winter loop scarf already looks really cozy. Great colors that go perfectly together. Did you knit that on a knitting machine? Can you do that in doubleface, too? I can’t really picture how that would work.
Would you mind telling us which yarn shop waives shipping fees for orders over 10 euros?

Sonja, wow! Your keyhole scarf looks super cute, just like everything else you design. I just can’t quite picture what it’ll look like when it’s finished or how it’ll work. I’m curious. The colors are definitely very pretty for the winter landscape.

Marlene, I often find myself starting something and then not liking it. I often work out the details as I go along while knitting.

I’ve just knitted two more dishcloths to complete the set of six. Those will be given away, too—probably to two different people. Next up is the loop scarf for my Peter. And then I already have something else in mind...

Well, everyone, the huge swap package has finally arrived here too. It must have had wings, because it was actually supposed to arrive on Monday… yay. It took me more than two hours to unpack, sort, and repack everything. The box is simply no longer usable. So I picked out a new one that’s actually quite a bit lighter.

The funny thing is that the contents seem to have undergone some kind of miraculous wool multiplication. It definitely won’t be going out weighing just 5 kg. I’ve repacked everything and weighed it all. The yarn alone weighs 4477 g. On top of that, there’s a bag with needles and odds and ends weighing 311 g. Then there are decorative ribbons weighing 114 g. And, of course, the box weighs 686 g. Together, that comes to exactly 5588 g. :))

This is what the package looked like when it was still sealed:



And I’ve now picked out this yarn plus two needles:



I already know what I’m going to make with some of the skeins. But I won’t reveal that until they’re on the needles.

I was especially thrilled about the little surprise from Andrea. It’s soooo cute!! Take a look:



On Tuesday, the package will go back to Ina. Ina, I hope you enjoy the contents. I’ll definitely be joining the next swap again. The anticipation alone makes it worth it, and the excitement builds with every new recipient.
