A hobby that inspires {Saturday coffee and net talk}

A matching model has been designed by Guri Pedersen with her Sorgenfri Jacket My Size . The jacket is adorned with a pretty and catchy textured pattern.

Here you work from the top down and knit the round yoke first. Evenly distributed increases then form the sleeves, which are first set aside. When the body is finished, pick up the sleeve stitches and finish them in the structure pattern as well.

By the way, the facings and finishes are knitted directly. Finally, you only need to sew threads and attach buttons.

The designer uses Premia and Como from Lamana, so you can expect cozy knitting at its best. Just pick out your favorite colors in the wool pack that Jule put on right away. (Psst, be sure to check out the matching baby version of the jacket too!)

Who of you actually remembers the saying from Mom back then: "That you don't catch a cold in your kidneys!"? Many greetings go out to all the people who spent their youth in the early 2000s. Hipsters olé, olé, just saying.

But back to Mom. I would never have believed it back then, but today I agree with her: Yes, when it's cold at the kidneys, it gets really uncomfortable. So a long cardigan is a must.

Very coincidentally I came across the Ole Kofte for Ladies by Inga Mallwitz and immediately had to think of mummy's cold kidneys.

The jacket has a rather wide neckline and reaches about mid-thigh. But you can easily change the length to your taste, because here too you knit top down. A delicate ajour pattern decorates the front of the cardigan.

Inga recommends two yarns from BC for her design. With Organic Balance you get a more sporty version due to the cotton content. If you like it woollier, just take Semilla.

In my experience, everyone has a weak point in the cold. For me, it's the feet. If they're not warm, the rest of the body can't get warm either. For others, it may be the kidneys (see above).

Who is sensitive at the neck, needs either a lot of scarves and shawls and / or a turtleneck around the neck. Fortunately, I have found something for you!

Pia Elverich aka Pippaknit designs designs with clean lines without a lot of frills (this continues in the model naming). Her sweater B01 is therefore a classic turtleneck design, which becomes a favorite piece through small details.

For one, there's the broken rib pattern (one of my favorites!) that continues throughout the sweater. Also, the cuff is divided in two at the sides. So you knit the body in rounds first and then divide the work at the end for the two cuffs.

With needles of weight 5, 5 and the voluminous yarn Snefnug (CaMaRose) or Kos (Sandnes) you will get fast results. For the Snefnug-variation Jule has put together a wool package for you, please click here:

Already for some time we have the beautiful NORD sweater by Hanne Rimmen as a wool package in the store. But did you know that Hanne actually designed a whole outfit?

Matching the sweater there is also the NORD Knit Pants. I mean, there's nothing cozier than working on the next model completely knitted in on the sofa, is there?

The pants are worked from the top down. A double cuff and I-cord provide comfort at the waist. The legs are knitted straight down. As in the wool package for the NORD sweater for the pants you can also use Puno Winikunka and Alpaca Lace (both from Pascuali). For me, however, the design also cries out for Semilla (BC Garn).

Finnish designer Leeni Hoi is known for her urban style: casualness and refined details characterize her designs.

Here also ranks the Sarah Sweater. The pretty turtleneck sweater draws attention especially in the lower part. Two pockets, each with horizontal stripes, draw attention to themselves, while the rest of the sweater is kept rather simple in stockinette stitch.

You knit top down and can choose between two neckline variations. Finally, only a little sewing work awaits you by connecting the pocket lining with the sweater.

In the original Leeni uses among other things a mohair quality. Of course we go along with this and would like to introduce you to Krea Deluxe Organic Wool in combination with Deluxe Silk Mohair recommend.

Times when offices may only be heated to 19 °C require special measures. In my job, it is basically no problem to throw on a wool sweater from home that you like to wear. But many of you need or want to look 'dressed'. What could be more obvious than knitting yourself a blouse suitable for the office?

The Jasmine Blouse by Celina Dyhring is elegant and warming at the same time. Once again, you work from the top down. At waist level, a knit-in tunnel and later inserted I-cord serve for a slight gathering. Finally, an I-cord as a finish and light balloon sleeves - this model does not need more to accompany you through the workday.

With Verona and Premia from Lamana you will achieve a particularly fine, soft-flowing result.

Anne-Sophie Velling is known for her detail-oriented designs. With Augustins No 26 she has designed a pretty beret that adds "a touch of class" to any outfit, as they say.

You knit this pretty headdress from the bottom up. Finally, you work an I-cord, which tied as a bow gives the beret that certain something.

In our wool package we have you Double Sunday and Tynn Silk Mohair (both Sandnes). Have fun with the agony of color choice!

From Ozetta Knitwear we already have the Moonset Tee as a wool package in the store. Now the designer shows: she is also into winter knitting.

The Oversized Seasons Cardigan is wonderfully voluminous due to the brioche and keeps you toasty warm. Here, too, you work top down. The finishing is reduced to a minimum, because you knit the button band directly.

By the way, you don't have to worry that the jacket will lie like lead on your shoulders thanks to the brioche knit. Jule and Sandra have thought along and have chosen you from CaMaRose Snefnug (a real lightweight) for the wool package.

A real highlight for me is the Twist Loop Sweater from Other Loops. It's been on my Instagram feed for a few days now. But since we have the best readers, one of you was faster than me, so Jule and Sandra quickly created a wool package.

And this has it all! With Merino, Soft Silk Mohair (both Knitting for Olive) and Piura (Lamana) you can knit three different qualities. To make the color selection easier for you, Sandra has already preset suitable colors. Of course you can also create your own color creations!

By the way, you work with the Twist Loop Sweater top down - so no annoying sewing at the end.
