Dear community,

@designers,
You can each present all new blog posts from January 2025 and from December 29 / 30 / 31, 2024 here. You can each present 2-3 blog highlights per author. These must not have been promoted in the forum in the past 8 weeks. Don’t forget links, images, and info. Please do not copy blog texts unchanged into the forum under any circumstances. 

Today I published a new post in my blog . 



I designed a bunny motif for you that you can use after crocheting it in the bread roll basket at Easter breakfast or as a coaster.



The bunny motif can also be used nicely as an appliqué. 

I sewed a patchwork cushion measuring 40 x 40 cm from my second bunny motif. My bunny measures approx. 19 x 20 cm, so it makes quite a statement on a cushion. 

I can also easily imagine decorating a gift bag with it, where the Easter Bunny can then leave his treats in the garden.

Petra’s bunny pillow is absolutely wonderful!
It immediately makes me think: "Yes, I’ll make that sometime too!"

I made some winter decorations. In January, I always miss the Christmas decorations a little—the ones that made everything feel so cozy for weeks. So I made snowballs out of muffin liners to fill that gap.



Once again, it wasn’t nearly as easy as I thought at first :))

If you’re interested in making honeycomb balls and would like to keep me company at the craft table, you’re warmly invited to read my blog post.

This airy triangular shawl is a reminder of my youth.
Back then, I crocheted this beginner-friendly triangular shawl very often.
Because of the airy pattern, it is intended more as a decorative accessory.

I hope you have lots of fun crocheting and wearing it.

In January, lots of colorful things were created in my workshop again. I documented everything for you in words and pictures so you can make them yourself. Here’s what I made:

- a blanket to knit
- something for the little dolls to wear and
- a sewn drawstring bag with lining.

I hope you enjoy looking at them and making them yourself.
Warm regards from Ina

1. The Softest Baby Blanket in the World

I knitted this soft blanket for my granddaughter 2 1/2 years ago. To me, it is the softest yarn in the world—that is, the softest yarn I could find in my yarn shop. If you want to know which one it is, you’ll need to click on the heading. In the blog post, I’ll tell you, and also explain how the blanket is knitted. 



2. Oversized Mini Dresses for Dolls

You can knit these charming little mini dresses with dropped shoulders from just a few grams of yarn. They are knitted in one piece from the bottom up. At the end, the shoulder seams are sewn together. The little belt with the pretty buckle completes the look.



3. Sewn Drawstring Bag with Lining

Small bags are always handy for storing, transporting, or stocking up on all kinds of bits and bobs. You can also use them to wrap gifts beautifully—then you don’t need any paper, and the recipient gets a bag along with the gift that they can reuse. The bags are quick to sew from a few fabric scraps in any size you like. They are super easy to open and close with the drawstring.
