End of the workday (regular promotional thread)

Dear users, dear authors,
Just in time for the start of the weekend, I’m starting this thread with some lovely patterns for plenty of relaxation.
There are patterns for sewing enthusiasts, avid knitters, and crochet lovers—and we even have patterns for crafters. There’s sure to be something here for you, too.
Have fun browsing and trying out the projects.

@Authors

and don’t forget to add text with information about the materials, the difficulty level, what makes the
pattern special, and the technique used. Have fun!

The weekend is saved :-) Emil wants to move in with you. Popular with young and old. Who could resist that look???
Approx. 120 g of yarn, 1 hook, stuffing, and 2 eyes. Single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. If you’ve crocheted an amigurumi now and then, you won’t have any problems with Emil. 

Get started right away, and Emil will soon be living with you.
Have fun crocheting!

The Othello Family :-)
Looks like the little ones have pounced on Mom and Dad. A fluffy family to love.


https://www.crazypatterns.net/en/items/17775/haekelanleitung-schnuffelhund-othello

The big dog is crocheted with acrylic yarn (approx. 210g - 50g/133m) and the little ones with cotton yarn (approx. 95g - 100g/530m): chain stitches, single crochet, half double crochet. Increases and decreases, and Othello is actually quick to crochet. Every amigurumi lover surely has some stuffing on hand, a long blunt needle, and you can either use teddy bear eyes or embroider them on. From 50 cm (standing) to 23 cm... or somewhere in between, if you use a different yarn. Othello is up for anything :-)
From beginners to pros... everyone will love Othello :-)
Have fun crocheting :-)

Finally, the workday is over!!! 

Does this sound familiar? You’re tired and worn out, and you don’t have the energy for complicated patterns, so you just want to relax and quiet your mind. 

In cases like this, I pick up my knitting needles, knit a few rows, and notice that I become calmer again.

Would you like to give it a try sometime?

Here I have a knitting pattern that can help you with that.

“Clouds,” a shawl that is also suitable for knitting beginners, will help you find your calm again.

I wish you a lovely, relaxing time, and I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

With so many individual pieces, this flower ball is a perfect relaxing weekend activity. Putting the ball elements together takes a bit of concentration, but after that it's simply a matter of cutting them out, gluing them together, and attaching them to the ball.
