“Stepchild Material Saviour” in June
The bouclé yarn I used to knit the mouse really tested my patience.
Unfortunately, there’s still more than one ball left!

Start of summer / the gardening season
I hardly used the cozy blanket at all last month. Instead, I used the late evening hours to knit or crochet in the garden.

 

The eco net (loosely based on Initiative Handarbeit)

The doll is from the ’80s!

 

Foldable bag based on a pattern by Fadenstrang.

Thanks for the wonderful awards ceremony, dear Josefa.
