This colorful little skirt for 3- to 4-year-olds is especially popular. It’s a great way to creatively use up lots of colorful leftover yarn.

This adjustable pinafore skirt is also very popular. That’s because it fits a toddler from 1.5 years old up to age 5. The pinafore skirt features knitted-in little hearts and looks absolutely adorable.

If you’ve been hesitant to knit socks because of the heel, here’s a simple solution. You’ll love the mowi heel. The pattern explains how to knit with 3 needles, which makes it even easier. But you can also knit with a set of double-pointed needles. In that case, distribute the stitches from one needle onto two needles as usual.

Now is the time for a cozy, warm neck warmer. It looks great under loose-fitting tops and is also a very practical substitute for a scarf. It’s very easy to knit. The pattern is designed for beginners with basic knowledge.

Steffi , your scarf looks beautiful. Right now, I can’t really picture what it looks like when worn. Maybe you’ll have a photo of it sometime when you’re wearing it? The recipient will surely be thrilled.

Oh, my dears, I know very well what it’s like with so many needles. I have a few swatches on different needles, and I leave them there, too. I was once asked what I need so many needles for ... well, I’m sure you understand. I found the question very amusing.

Ina , how nice, are you one of the bread-roll bakers here too? We have them every morning, and we really enjoy that. Your Filzies are a hit again! I’d like the pink ones too. But last year’s are even prettier (for me), and I’m already looking forward to wearing them again.

Thanks for your feedback on my enthusiasm. It put a smile on my face. :) Yes, I really do love what I do. You’ll see photos of the jacket and the hat in a moment. I’ve already set aside the baby snowsuit too, and I’ll carry on knitting it tonight. Since unfortunately we don’t have a real baby we can give it to, my Paula (60 cm) will get it. She’s already passed most things on to my granddaughters. Now she needs warm clothes herself. ;-)

Here is the finished jacket for my son. Only the buttons are still missing. I photographed it on my model.




And here is the double-face hat for my daughter-in-law. This time the back didn’t turn out quite as nicely, I think. The first picture shows the main side.





Tomorrow I’ll take a photo of the bottom of the bread basket for two. I’m finishing crocheting it today.

And now I wish you all a lovely rest of Sunday and a good start to the new week!

and wondered which wish I could possibly grant...

Ines, I can totally imagine that you were kept busy at Lake Constance. There’s plenty to see and visit there. One vacation isn’t nearly enough for that. And you’ve already brought back quite a bit of yarn. The Finkhof isn’t going anywhere, and ordering online works just as well.
Your loop scarf looks very cozy and warm. I’m sure you’ll be able to put it to good use soon.

Andrea, congratulations on your employment contract. Now you’re really settling back into your old home here, and it looks like it’s doing you a world of good. Now you can catch up on everything you’ve missed over the last few years. Your furnishings are coming together bit by bit, too. Soon you’ll have time and leisure to crochet again. I’m sure you’ll enjoy that.

Petra, your pumpkins are truly amazing. So varied in color and shape. They look very decorative. And the leftover yarn is slowly turning into pretty decorations.

Anja, I’m totally thrilled with your beautiful scarf—or loop. I really love the yarn and the color. And I love the knitting pattern and the whole design, too. Congratulations on your perseverance! You’re now perfectly prepared for the coming cold weather.

I’m in the final stages of finishing the cardigan and the DF hat. I’ll show them to you when they’re done. And I already have the yarn ready for my next project. It’ll be… a DF project, of course. This time, I’m tackling Sonja’s “Breakfast Basket for Two.” And since I always need at least two projects going at once, I’m continuing to knit the colorful baby winter outfit. I can hardly wait to get started on it. You know how it is… right before the end, your enthusiasm tends to wane a bit.

Now I wish you all a lovely and cozy weekend with your needles and yarn.

These baby shoes with hearts are also very easy to crochet using leftovers.

This tissue box cover is also great to crochet from colorful leftover yarn—and to give as a gift. You can create really creative decorations with it. I’ve given it as a gift many times, and it’s always been well received.

Dear Inge,

it must be a dream to be able to buy so much fabric—just like wool would be for me. My mom always loved browsing through fabrics, too. :)

I hope you have lots of fun with your new projects using it.

Love, Monika

Wow, there’s really a lot going on here! And so many beautiful things you’re showing off.

Ines , I know the shop in Friedrichshafen from the inside, too. I felt exactly the same way as you did a few years ago. It’s just too tempting, isn’t it? You’ve crocheted some enchanting Christmas decorations again. That placemat is absolutely amazing—and in three colors, too! I really like both of them, and I wouldn’t know which one to choose… well, maybe the red one in that case. The tea lights and the bells are simply beautiful, too.

Steffi , your scarf is something really special. The patterns and colors really speak to me, too. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s completely finished.
I feel exactly the same way as you do. Just looking at them and feeling them is simply a dream. I love having my closets full of yarn. And eventually, the ideas will come too.
Swapping knitted items in a group—I’d love that too. It’s a brilliant idea. I miss having a knitting group like that here. That’s why I’m all the more excited about our virtual get-together here.

Anja , why be embarrassed? :-) Buying yarn is the best thing ever—except for knitting or crocheting, of course. Do you already know what you’ll make with that skein? Don’t worry about what others are doing here. Just do your own thing. For me, having fun is still the most important thing, and after all, we’re not in a yarn race here. I also like working on several projects at the same time.
Yeah, I’m the same way—I knit things for others. But I like it best when I knit things for myself. Because I know best what I like.

Ruth , I admire your creativity with the little things. The idea of crocheting snowflakes with pockets—that’s really something. I can totally picture them as gift tags. The snowflakes even have cute little faces! :)

Ina , your slippers are simply beautiful—each one is completely one-of-a-kind. The loops are really practical; I can totally see that. Like I said, we love them, too. I just can’t make them as well as you do. Everyone has their own strengths. You’re a master at felting, Ruth at little crochet projects, Ines at great crochet ideas and tapestry, and Sonja at beautiful designs for double-face and tapestry. I really admire all of that. It’s great that things are so colorful here and that we always get to see something new.

Christina , I’m totally thrilled with your sheep washcloth! I’m going to knit or crochet one myself, too. It’s on my Christmas gift list for my granddaughters. I really like it knitted. And the colors—beautiful! Is that for your grandson?

Andrea , it’s great to see you stopping by again. I totally believe you when you say you’re still far from finished with the apartment. Maybe secondhand furniture is an option. We’ve done that before and found some nice pieces. The classifieds on e...y always have good deals.

I’m now on the second sleeve of the jacket for my son. It’ll probably be done by the weekend. The hat for my daughter-in-law will be finished soon, too. I’m now working on the decreases at the top. I like knitting for others, but only for those who appreciate it. I’m planning to knit a triangular shawl for my friend for Christmas—made of cotton. She saw this black-and-turquoise color combination at my place, and those are exactly her colors.

Have a lovely evening, everyone, and keep those needles clicking.

Best, Monika

Dear Christina,

I’d also like to extend my warmest congratulations on your golden wedding anniversary. Wow—50 years is quite an achievement. You treated yourselves to a lovely day all to yourselves in this beautiful landscape. Thank you for the impressive photos.

Warm regards from Monika

The most popular houseplant during the Christmas season is, of course, the poinsettia. With this pot cover, it looks even more beautiful and also makes a lovely gift. The star appliqué also works great as a tree ornament, table decoration, or gift tag. All parts are very easy to make.

Dear Inge,

I’d also like to extend my warmest birthday wishes to you. You’re celebrating today with your family, and that’s surely the greatest joy and the most wonderful gift for you. Enjoy every moment!

For the coming year, I wish you continued joy in sewing, good health, and many happy moments.



Warmly
Monika

Ina, your slippers turned out beautifully once again. I especially like the ones with the two colors. You finished both pairs super fast.
Yeah, it might be because of my visitors that I knitted too much. But I also measured wrong—unfortunately, I didn’t realize it until afterward.

Petra, you have such lovely ideas. A pumpkin with a doily is definitely one-of-a-kind.

Anja, I also enjoy knitting colorful things like that. Just dive right in and change colors however you feel like it. I’ve made some really pretty things that way many times. What you’ve knitted so far definitely looks great and really cozy.

Well, now I’m wishing you all a relaxing and lovely Saturday evening with your needles and cozy yarn. I’m going to keep knitting the double-faced hat today. Because of the thin yarn, it’s growing slowly.

4- to 5-year-olds are sure to feel comfortable in such a cuddly-soft sweater made from sock yarn. The collar also keeps the neck nice and warm.

Petra, your pumpkins are amazing! That’s a very pretty and easy-to-make decoration.

Anja, I feel the same way about unraveling. Luckily, I “only” have to unravel here. ;-)

Steffi, I also hope your foot gets better soon.

Now I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Belatedly, I wish you all the best and much joy as you start a happy new year.



Warm
regards, Monika

Thanks, and I wish everyone here a wonderful weekend, too. We’re going to go for lots of walks in the sunshine.

Ruth, that’s really wonderful praise. The things grandchildren wish for… and Grandma makes them happen. Who else? ;-)

Anja, that yarn looks very fluffy and warm—such great colors. I’m also curious to see what you have in mind for it.

I’ve made great progress on the jacket, too. Actually, a bit too much progress. Because I measured it and now I have to rip it out at the bottom. No!!! Look, this is how it looks—too long. Unfortunately, I measured it wrong—I started from the front cuff. But I need the length from the shoulder to the bottom to be 70 cm (up to the marker—everything below that has to go). Learned something new. That definitely won’t happen to me again.



And this is how short it needs to be.



The good thing is that the yarn will go further this way. Well, I went to a lot of trouble for nothing.

My son and his wife tell me what they might need. Sometimes my granddaughters also have ideas for toys they might like.

I ask them for the measurements, and that always works out pretty well.

How about a sleeping bag for a baby doll that fits in a doll stroller? All dolls or stuffed animals up to 50 cm tall will fit inside.

Oh dear, Steffi, a hornet in your shoe—nobody expects that. Knitting is a great way to take your mind off things. This, too, will pass.

Ina, you’re super hard at work again, especially with those amazing shoes. We love them!!
You’re just better at this than I am. Ours will surely make it through this winter just fine.

Our guests will only be here until Sunday, after all. We’re already enjoying these last few days. We have the afternoon and evening off today, so I’m busy catching up on the computer: Of course, the needles can clatter away—that’s just part of my routine. Things will get back to normal starting Monday, and then I’ll finally get around to writing up the patterns again.

For now, I wish you all a lovely evening and send my warmest regards to everyone!
Monika

Hey everyone, I’m back again. I don’t have much time right now. Things won’t get better until next week. You’ve all made such beautiful things again. I’m absolutely thrilled.

Christina, I want to try that again too—DF for advanced knitters. For some reason, I always get a knot in my head with that. You’ve mastered it so well. The colors of your practice piece look great, too.

Yeah, Sonja, it is a bit boring, but at least this way I can chat with our guests while I knit. That would be impossible if I had to count.

Ina, wow, you’ve created some absolutely gorgeous works of art again. You definitely have the talent to be a fashion designer. I don’t even know which one I like best. They’re all beautiful and look so warm and fluffy. A dream for the doll moms who will get to dress them in them one day. It’s so nice that you can still enjoy these doll outfits and the dolls that go with them so much. The child in you is still very much alive—just like in me.

Sandra, as always, you’ve crocheted some beautiful things. The colors of the bag aren’t exactly my style, but it still looks great. The Christmas door wreath looks very artistic, and I really like it.

Ruth and Anja, I’m sure you’ll have something to show soon, too.

I’ll post a photo in the next few days as well. I’ve now finished the body of my son’s jacket except for a few rows. Now I just need to do the sleeves and the buttons. The hat is only growing slowly. With our guests here, I don’t have much time for knitting—I usually only get to it in the evenings.
Since my daughter-in-law asked me how long it actually takes me to make a knitted piece, I’m now using a stopwatch to write down how long each row takes me. I’m surprised already. I’ll let you know the result.

For now, I hope you have lots of fun, and I’ll check in again in the next few days.
