Month: September 2014

My goodness, such a blog launch is not for the faint of heart. When I gave yesterday on all channels the starting signal for maschenfein, I was crazy excited. And then so many visits in the first hour and also my new Facebook page have already discovered some *freu*. Now it goes on here of course. I hardly know where to start, so there is a little late the September "On the needles" post.

"On the Needles" is a monthly series I started over on Engelenchen and some of you have even joined in. I would like to continue this monthly (actually, of course, always at the beginning of the month). I find it super exciting to click through the other blogs and see what is knitted there. Maybe you'll even join in now in September and show what you're knitting this month and then we will certainly gradually a nice round!

I have in any case accumulated as a hopeless parallel knitter some unfinished objects and show you what I would like to continue knitting finished in September. A little pressure never hurts, after all! Maybe in a year we'll make a new series "Things that have been lying around here for a year" or something. Or we'll make a "UFO month" in which we knit all UFOs, i.e. unfinished objects, finished.

But now first to September.

Brioche knit pattern

So first of all there is a blanket in brioche pattern in blue and bright orange from Lana Grossa Cashcot and Nobile. Brioche knits itself wonderfully fast. However, the Cashcot is certainly not knitted again here, the thread is permanently twisted, knitting with it I feel a bit bumpy.

Beanie knit

I'm also busy knitting a new hat from Mia by Debbie Bliss, which I've been working on and calculating over the last few days. I'll tell you the story behind this hat when the time comes. It has something to do with Carolin and Martina. On Instagram I have already shown a little more.

What about you guys? Are you also hopeless or gifted parallel knitters like me? What's on your needles and what will be finished next? If you feel like it, you can link here or just comment.

Help, I am excited. Already last winter the idea germinated very slowly in my head to start a new blog. A knitting blog. So one besides the old already four year old blog over there, which I don't intend to close, but which should just not be exclusively about knitting. And that's what I wanted. Just a pure knitting blog.

Here it is now! Hello and welcome to Maschenfein! A new blog with a wonderful new logo, developed by my friend Martina the formgeberin. I am attached to the knitting needle and do not want to give it away and here I can get rid of everything that comes to mind and much more. Now I am of course terribly excited if you come to visit me here. So I just start and wait and see.

New knitting blog

There were also over on the old blog already many beautiful things that I will show you here bit by bit again. For example, the cable pattern beanies for my Miss and me, or a super great triangle scarf for the friend P. two-thread knitted from Filatura di Crosa Superior and BC yarn Semilla, which I have to show you here soon times in full glory. There was a very simple hat with pattern for the tubular cast-on for the DaWanda blog, a huge XXL scarf for grandma, a pretty cardigan for's Fräulein and some more that never ended up on the blog.

So, because I realized over time that I would like to report so much and so much about wool & co., but somehow it got such a weight in terms of content that it found no place in my old blog, here is a new place.

Maschenfein is a blog for knitting lovers or those who want to be. For beginners and experienced hobby knitters. By the way, you can also crochet, I do that sometimes. I'm happy about every reader and hope of course very much that you participate and diligently comment and above all also ask and tell what you would like to see and read.

In addition to the blog, there is now finally my small e-book store on this page, where my tutorials are ready for download, I will also sort the free books there and who knows what will be added in the future so everything. My e-books got a completely new layout, of course also by Martina, they look great and are even more fun! I have many ideas on which I already werkle, there will soon be more pattern, I will report.

You see, I have a lot planned, that will be fine! All the way Maschenfein! Are you with me?
