Crocheted table runners don't have to be old-fashioned,

Pumpkins are simply part of fall decor! The little pumpkin girl is dressed in warm fall colors: she wears a brown top, and orange shoes, skirt, and hat. You can crochet the pumpkin in any size you like. The crochet pattern explains exactly how. It uses only a small amount of yarn, so it’s great for using up leftovers.

For all you knitters, there's a new blog post:
Casting On Stitches with a Set of Double-Pointed Needles - Trick


As a supplement to my sock-knitting patterns/tutorials or various hat patterns, I have a trick for everyone who wants to cast on stitches with a set of double-pointed needles and distribute them evenly over 4 needles so the stitches don't get twisted:

Here's the blog post: Casting On Stitches with a Set of Double-Pointed Needles - Trick

Do you know this? The cast-on stitches need to be distributed over 4 needles on a set of double-pointed needles. The problem: the individual needles somehow hang down, dangle, twist, and get tangled up—which can definitely be annoying. The result is often twisted stitches.
The solution: a special cast-on for double-pointed needles.

I hope my technique makes casting on with a set of double-pointed needles more relaxed. I'd be happy to receive a comment on the blog or directly on the video.

These doll pants are perfect for using up leftover yarn. The knitting pattern is essentially a basic pattern. If you make the pant legs shorter, they become summer pants. As shown here, they’re designed for fall or winter.
Why not knit a doll’s wardrobe for Christmas? This is a great place to start.
My knitting pattern doesn’t use abbreviations but is clearly explained in plain language. So don’t hesitate.
    Knitting Pattern for Doll Pants for 28–30 cm Dolls

Fall can come...
With this shrug, you'll be prepared for any weather!
The wonderful textured pattern - 2 different crochet patterns alternate - invites you to cuddle up.

The cut of the soul warmer comes entirely without decreases or increases...

For clarification, 2 crochet charts are included in the pattern.
In addition, 3 schematics help you through the crochet process - step by step.

This pattern is designed for sizes S/M/L/XL.
However, the pattern explains how the shrug can be very easily adjusted to any size.
The included cut and the gauge help with that!

And here’s the pattern and more details...

New Knitting Blog:
Length of the Tail When Casting On Stitches with the Long-Tail Cast-On

There are various cast-on techniques in knitting; one type is, for example, the so-called "long-tail cast-on." For this, you need a longer tail before you start casting on stitches.

Since beginning knitters often ask me how long the tail needs to be when casting on stitches with the long-tail cast-on, I wrote the blog mentioned above.
