Happy New Year :: A look back on 2015 ::
The Christmas holidays are behind us with all their excitement and activity and the New Year lies just ahead. This past year for me has been full of rediscovered love for my knitting and crafts hobbies. I had planned to revive this blog, to professionalize the look and feel and to add some patterns and
Free pattern :: Snow Stars Hat ::
Warm, sunny fall weather has made way to the inevitable wet, cold and slightly dreary days. Time to prepare for winter with these quick, cute heads. Originally this project was only meant to try out this new, ecological yarn I’d found through Facebook – Schurwolle by FaireWolle.de. It’s a sturdy worsted spun wool from
Auf den Nadeln :: Oktober ::
Im Blog von Frau Maschenfein habe ich diese lustige Aktion „Auf den Maschen im Oktober“ entdeckt. Sie bietet Ihren Lesern jeden Monat die Gelegenheit, aktuelle Projekte des Monats zu verlinken.

Micro Cobblestone
Jared Flood’s Cobblestone Sweater had instantly caught my eye when it first appeared in Interweave Knits magazine’s Fall 2007 issue. It is such a clean design but still offers some interest. And of course I’m a sucker for tweedy yarns, so I fell right for this one 😉 But unfortunately I neither found the yarn
Garter Stitch Goodness
I am with Jared Flood aka Brooklyntweed in my endless fascination with the squishyness and and geometry of the garter stitch. And especially for children’s patterns I can hardly resist a cute garter stitch garment. When Berenike was small I made her a Tomten jacket from Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Genius pattern. It was a much loved
