Month: March 2015

The second gathering stripes sweater is almost finished (it really knits itself and slips quickly from the needles), only the sleeves are missing. The so far so hated sleeve knitting I find with the Magic Loop method by the way now no longer bad, what I'm happy to have discovered for me! So there was a new project here and I tell you today already full of anticipation what that will be:

Knitting cardigan Quince & Co

Pam Allen's Anna Cardigan from the Home Collection! Since I have knitted in recent months felt (so except for the Prince sweaters) only scarves and shawls, I wanted to finally knit something to wear for me again. I've been looking for a very long time for a suitable tutorial and was close to me to calculate a raglan-from-the-top, but so really I did not feel like it.

It was really hard for me to decide, is it always the same for you? My list of favorites on Ravelry became longer and longer, I browsed for hours in various stores for the right yarns, finally flirted very much with True by Joji Locatelli, but was looking for a faster project. Something with tangible success. A short jacket. And so that's how Anna turned out. I've always wanted to try the Quince yarn, found and ordered Piper at Mercerie.

Here we go with a new round "On the needles", because March is here! In the past month there was a lot to browse, I'm always happy about every single link and hop excited to you over, one or the other project or the corresponding tutorial has already landed on my walls. Also on Instagram there was much to see under the hashtag #aufdennadelnfebruar!

Knitting sweaters for children

I've been knitting kind of crazy in the past month. After the diamond scarf, I wanted to get rid of one of my UFOs and decided to use the freestyle raglan-from-the-top that I had cast on for the prince last winter. Without further ado, I ribbed everything up and by now the gathering stripes is now finished except for the sleeve ends. A second one will be knitted directly afterwards, because this model is wonderfully simple, plain, but beautiful and the absolutely perfect in-between project when you don't want to think much. The wool is called Zara by Filatura the Crosa, I bought it last winter at mylys in Hamburg and now reordered. Is suitable with the superwash finish very well for a princess sweater and knits quite wonderfully.

And what do you have on the needles in March? What has become of your projects? Will you tell me? I'm looking forward to it! You can link up all 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. A backlink is nothing more than a link to this blog :)!

On Instagram I use the hashtag #aufdennadelnmärz. Join in there too!
