Good morning! As usual, I leave you today for Saturday coffee a few links to browse.
If this goes on, I urgently need to crochet such storage bags for the small vegetables or their wardrobe. I find them pretty and practical! A tutorial, by the way, you can also find in the new crochet book.
Hannah Fettig explains here very simply how to create a well-fitting hat using head circumference and gauge. This also helps if you knit a hat according to the pattern, but with a different yarn!
I really need a needle storage option. Something like that. But I don't want to sew it myself, do you have a good tip?
How pretty is this knitted laptop bag please? A perfect leftover project, although I would still feed them.
The beautiful wool there in the picture is, by the way, the Woohoo 8 - the house wool of Knit Knit Berlin. There will soon be new colors!
Have a great weekend!
After I had fallen in love with a beautiful triangle shawl from Madelinetosh the other day and then also stumbled upon a super nice pattern, I went pregnant with a new shawl for nights. So when the yarn arrived, I couldn't wait to test the patterns.
I really wanted to knit this cross pattern that I discovered on Instagram. It has now become a slightly modified version, in that the background (you see it with the blue crosses below) is striped. It's a little hard to explain if you're not in the pattern. On the one hand I wanted to avoid threads on the backside, because it should be a shawl and look nice from the backside and on the other hand I wanted to continue the threads of the different colors always on one side, which leads to the fact that always an even number of rows per color has to be knitted. Anyway: The cross pattern was fixed.
However, I don't want it to be a pure cross pattern shawl. I imagine that the pattern is interrupted by a knit of the same color. So I pondered in front of me, whether I should knit these wide colored stripes probably smooth or garter stitch?
So I asked my husband.
"Mmmhh, yes... nice" he murmured. Without understanding, but interested with effort. He could not share my euphoria somehow so at all. I, on the other hand, was completely blown away by the cross pattern and wanted to start immediately.
"Yes, which do you find most beautiful, the smooth knitted one there, or the curly knitted one?"
"Uh" uncomprehending look... everything looks the same, was written on his face. So "that one" (garter stitch) he would find better, the other (stockinette stitch) would look so self-knitted.
Uh.
Huh? Self-knitted?
I have decided in any case, you may be curious. I am in any case!
I'm actually more addicted to knitting, but also crochet I do now and then still very happy. This is more of a beginner's book, because you can actually find some projects in it that you've already seen a time or two elsewhere. But here they are bundled, beautifully prepared, provided with well-illustrated pattern and totally make you want to crochet.
I was especially happy about the trick "Crochet on fabric with seam", with which you can easily crochet zippers. First, a chain stitch row is attached to the zipper with a needle. This row is then crocheted to. How great! This certainly also goes with knitting and I will have to try soon times.
I'm also particularly fascinated by the GU Kreativ Plus app. How ingenious is that? With your smartphone and the app, you can scan the pictures in the book, watch the how-to videos and (WOW!) order the materials you need with one click via DaWanda! Ms. Mülli had recently already reported about it, she has namelywrittenthe book "Sewing" from this series.
So all in all: great book, great series and there is actually once again worth the purchase of a book, instead of just collecting and searching for inspiration on the Internet.
PS: By the way, the author of the book is Lydia Tresselt from laly lala! That's right! The one with those absolutely adorable crochet pattern for little dolls. Been on the "to-crochet list" for a long time!
Good morning! I leave you to the Käffchen again a few links to browse.
Not a knitting blog, but one of my favorites because it's so wonderfully authentic: Elise was thinking some time ago about how the flood of inspiration on the internet can often make you feel overwhelmed and spend way too much time admiring others for how much they create. Hit my nerve exactly, because that's how I often feel too! Of course it's a bit contradictory to link that here on my Netzgelüster Saturday, laugh, but a healthy dose of rummaging is quite allowed! Only you must then knit afterwards fine further.
Have you ever wondered how many stitches you need for a certain length of a circular needle before you have to switch to double pointed needles? I have found this picker. In inches, but still a help!
These gorgeous bright colors make me want to make hand warmers. Aren't they great, my favorite is pink-purple!
Cool I find this part, just not so sure if it is so conducive to my figure. Six pieces of clothing in one is but times efficient!
I don't know if you feel the same way: A monthly review gives me an enormous boost of motivation, because I realize what I have created during this time. While you're so wrapped up in your projects and constantly come across new ideas in the dense network of inspiration on Pinterest & Co, you always have the feeling that you're hardly getting anything done yourself. Do you know this?
So today I'm doing an Insta review of September, maybe you'll like it too:
1. at the beginning of the month diligently knit the brioche blanket.
2. finally photographed the autumnal spring scarf from Schoenstricken and sent Jessica the promised pictures. You can even see them in her store now.
3. spent a morning just alone at home and worked on a favorite cardigan to-be (but it will certainly not be finished this year, that will be a major project)
4. created two new designs for phone cases, some of you have already stumbled across it and have even ordered, whoopee! Actually, I have resolved to design this Spreadshirt store still beautiful. But that remains a to-do for now, because it only works with a lot of fuzzy programming and I don't get to do that - I knit too much, laugh! The top cover here is still waiting for a meeting with the recipient, wink wink, Lisa!
5. in between times tried a pattern, approximately according to these pattern.
6. about ten times ribbed the new cap model!
7. showed the basket from my birthday crochet workshop and was pleased that Ina from Pattydoo found the idea so nice that she also crocheted baskets with friends!
8. still knitting on the brioche ceiling.
9th pattern for the new Tosh cloth tested, I'll tell you more about that next week!
Great so a review! Give it a try!
Schwups, a month is around, many of you have brought out the needles, what I was happy that already last month here some have participated in "On the needles"! By the way, I love autumn and am very much looking forward to October! I love cozy cardigans, heavy scarves and hats. The smell of damp leaves, gathering chestnuts, the rustling underfoot! I'm not one of those people who only bring out the knitting needles when it really makes sense - when the leaves turn color and it gets cooler. Nevertheless, it makes me but of course even more joy when the finished projects immediately go on the head, around the neck or on the hands.
Last month I knitted the brioche blanket. And I have many, many, well I mean really damn many times my new hat model ribbed. Finally found a perfect solution and I can not wait to show it to you in all its glory. You'll have to endure a moment of suspense, because behind the scenes the ideas are bubbling away! Then the eBook will go online together with a little surprise and I'm already so excited how you like this year's cap!
In October, I would like to hunt down a UFO. Yes, sir. Must be, nech? Namely, it will go to this beautiful scarf to the stitches, which should actually have been finished in August for a birthday and which unfortunately, unfortunately, when I realized a few days before, that will nix, first wandered into a project bag. So. It should be finished! In October!
However, so that I do not only UFOs hunt, I have allowed myself a new project. I call it times "Tosh cloth" and show you my pattern shenanigans soon in a separate post. Who looks very closely and has read very closely here, can then also recognize where I have jumped for this project the inspirations!
And now I am of course curious how it looks with you! What has become of the projects and what do you have this month on the needles? Will you tell me? You can link up the whole month long! Attention: You have to put a backlink to this post or blog in your post, otherwise it won't work with the link tool.
From Instagram, by the way, I use the hashtag #aufdennadelnoktober. Join in there too!
