Wow, everyone, there’s quite a buzz here! Just two days away, and there are whole novels to read and lots of beautiful new things to admire.
I especially like Marion’s tunic—it caught my eye right away. I’d love to wear that myself; I’m totally in love with it. That’s such a fantastic yarn—it creates such beautiful stripes. Awesome!! I had no idea you were so into home renovations, too. ;-)
Sonja, regarding your question—there’s a second washcloth in different colors.
By the way, thanks to everyone for the feedback on the bunny washcloths!
Christina, regarding your question about which yarn I used—it’s Drops Safran, 160 m/50g.
As for your question about the sleeves on the jacket—I like both raglan and straight-set-in sleeves. It’s not always an easy decision for me either. It depends on which pattern I want to use where in the knitted piece.
Ines, you’re hard at work again. Renovating—that’s something I have absolutely no desire to do.
I don’t actually think I’m that fast with my projects, at least in my opinion. I just treat myself to 1–2 hours during the day and in the evening while watching movies—though those are usually just audio dramas. ;-)
Marlies, I wish you peace and harmony at home and hope the storm spares you. I also think it’s important to have your own opinion. I didn’t have a good experience with always giving in during my first marriage. But now I’ve been in a happy relationship for 34 years, where everyone is allowed to have their own opinion and express it. I couldn’t do without that anymore.
Steffi, I’m looking forward to seeing your sweater.
Petra, I’m also really bad at felting shoes. For one thing, they usually turn out too small, and on top of that, they don’t have a very nice shape. I’m definitely no pro at this. Your shoes turned out really well the second time around, though. I’m sure you’ll find a use for the smaller ones.
Anja, your hat looks great, and the pom-pom is really perfect. I cut out some cardboard templates for this—just like Petra. I haven’t tried the finished ones yet. I just checked out am… and ordered a set right away—from the Ayasee brand; it comes with 4 pieces. Thanks for the tip. The inner reinforcement in your hat is also a great idea. That’ll keep your ears warmer.
Ruth, if the jacket was still usable for your daughter, that’s at least a good solution.
Your little Cupid turned out very cute—and it’s a great idea.
Today I finished the sleeping bag for my little baby—little Merle. I’m totally in love with the little one; she looks sooo cute in it.
