Belated but heartfelt congratulations from me as well, and wishing you a truly fantastic year ahead with lots of time for crafting.

I also wish everyone here a wonderful weekend and hope you have a great time doing whatever you have planned.

Dear Andrea,

oh dear, moving… I know all about that. But when the time comes to make a change, something much better is guaranteed to come along. That’s always been the case for us, and we’ve moved many times.

You’ll see—everything will be fine, and even much better. Yes, Sonja is right—just imagine all the beautiful yarn you can buy here for much less. Plus, the warmer season lasts much longer, and winter isn’t nearly as dark as it is in Norway. Just start picturing yourself living in your dream home here and how wonderful it is. Then that’s exactly what will happen. And you’ll be able to hold your family close again.

I wish you all the very best from the bottom of my heart, and may many little miracles happen that will help you settle in happily here.

Warm regards from Monika

Sandra, I have to say, you were really hard at work during your “vacation.” All such beautiful things. I can totally imagine that you all enjoyed it. Anton’s little quirks will pass. Kids that age are quick to pick up habits from others. Once you’re back home, I’m guessing there’ll be new quirks to deal with.

Oh, Ines, cherries! I love them. I bought a kilo for us today, and we’ve actually eaten almost all of them—just the two of us!

Sonja, you’ll breeze through those last few rows—with that kind of motivation! I’m already super excited to see your new placemat. I’m really enjoying knitting Paris. It certainly never gets boring. I still have 25 rows to go, then it’ll be finished. I’ve already put a lot of hours into it. Let’s see what I’ll start next. Maybe another DF project? :-)

Have a wonderful evening, everyone!

I’d also like to join in the birthday wishes and wish you a truly wonderful year ahead filled with lots of joy.

The last few days have been like a nonstop sauna. Today, after the heavy thunderstorm, it’s nice to breathe easy again.

Despite everything, my needles have been busy in the garden. And that’s how this pretty “Paris” placemat came to be—it’ll be finished soon.

Luckily, we’re finally getting a chance to catch our breath here today, after a long, intense thunderstorm with massive downpours swept through last night. Nature really needed it—and so did we.

I’ve been pottering around in the garden a bit and have my first Christmas gift on the needles. It’s the Paris placemat. That’s for my friend. Here’s how far I’ve gotten so far:



I hope you all have a wonderful day! Here’s a photo of me in our garden:

Ruth, you’ve been really busy with your embroidery again. It already looks really beautiful, and I think the work is well worth it. Somehow it reminds me of when I was younger and used to embroider a lot—and really enjoyed it.

Ines, thanks for your compliment. I’m more than happy to return the favor, since you knitted your jacket with such extremely fine yarn. Wow, and it’s already finished! That’s a really pretty piece.
My jacket took quite a while—I’m used to working much faster than that. Yes, I’m already looking forward to wearing it in the fall. Right now, it’s more like sauna weather. The swings went to two lovely caregivers, and I’m sure I’ll get some photos of them being used.

Ina, thank you too for your feedback on the jacket and the swings. The photo of your grandson is absolutely adorable. You just want to give him a big hug right away. Your lakeside terrace is looking beautifully decorated now. The blue pots fit in wonderfully there. I wish you many more lovely days and hours to enjoy.

Our guests have left now, and I can finally(!) get back to knitting. I’m already experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Before I start on the jacket for Linja, I’m going to knit the Paris placemat for my friend first. It’s just right for the garden. And I get to do double knitting again—I’m doubly excited about that.

I hope you’re all having a wonderful time in this beautiful summer weather!

I’m doing great, too. I’m already enjoying the garden over breakfast. Summer is finally here.

Oh Marion, I really like your UFO—especially the color and the pattern. It’s so light and summery. It’s perfect for this time of year.

Sandra, you’ve been busy again. I’m glad you’re all enjoying it so much and finding it so relaxing. Enjoy it!

Petra, a balloon cover like that is such a nice idea. This is the first time I’ve seen something like that here. Too bad my two granddaughters are already past the baby stage. Otherwise, I would have crocheted another one.

Have a wonderful day, everyone. Summer is finally here—and it’s here to stay.

You can never have too many pot holders. A bright, eye-catching piece like this is something truly special. These oven gloves are disguised as ladybugs and are very easy to crochet.

Sandra, I hope you have a really wonderful time in Grömitz. Get some good rest.
You’ve made a beautiful bag from the elephant motif. It looks great.

Dear Diana,

Belated wishes can also bring joy. And so today I’d like to wish you an especially wonderful new year of life with many joyful surprises.

Warmly
Monika

Dear Susann,

I’d also like to join in the congratulations and wish you all the best, even if a little belatedly. This new year of your life has so much in store, and you can make it your best yet. I wish this for you with all my heart!

Monika

Thank you so much, Ruth, for your feedback. By the way, the jacket can be made in different lengths, since you can decide how long you want the bottom to be. If you prefer it shorter, just knit fewer rows of ribbing at the bottom.
The swings have already found their new owners today and are now off on their journeys. The green one will soon have room for three little squirrels once they’ve grown a bit and can start jumping around.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend.

Ruth, that little Frog Prince is so cute. What a lovely idea. And you’re actually already working on your next embroidery project—you’re really hard at work. We’ll get to admire it at some point.

Once again, some incredibly beautiful creations have been made. I’m a bit on the go right now since we have guests, and time at the computer is very limited (unfortunately, so is time for knitting). But I’m treating myself to this little break here to admire them.

Ina, your now-lively pond with the matching terrace is an oasis of well-being—it’s gorgeous! I’m sure you’ll get lots of new ideas there. For me, that would be a vacation in itself. Then there’s the pretty, colorful blanket and the wine glasses. Very inviting—really. Your wind chime looks fantastic, too. I think the reflections in the photos come out really well.
By the way, I think the color combination of the Bobbel yarn for the blanket is simply enchanting. I would never have thought to make a blanket out of it.

Andrea, you’ve given me an idea. Maaaybe… I might actually take a photo with all the doll kids. They’re so cute together. I’m glad you’re feeling better again. The sun will definitely lift your spirits completely.
The pillowcase looks great—those would be my colors, too. The baby blanket has a nice pattern, but the color combination would be too dark for me right now.
Your window wind chimes look absolutely fantastic, and you always enjoy every ray of sunshine that reflects in them.

I’ve finished my two squirrel swings, and they’re now ready to find their new residents.
As soon as our guests leave, I’ll start a jacket for Linja using the same yarn as mine and a similar pattern.

Here are the photos—the swings and the finished jacket.

Dear Tini,

Happy birthday and have a wonderful day filled with lots of joyful surprises. Enjoy yourself to the fullest.

Warmly,
Monika

Dear Claudia,

Warmest congratulations on your birthday, and I wish you a wonderful day. Enjoy it!
