Maschenfein summer favorites
We at Maschenfein consider the common opinion that knitting is only something for the cold season to have been disproved long ago. So many beautiful summer designs and numerous matching yarns make our favorite hobby in and for the vacations also irresistible. Are you still at a loss as to what to put on your needles and in your project bag in such hot months as August? Then you will find everything you need in terms of ideas and inspiration in this inspiration!
Long car ride? How convenient!

We all know them: endlessly long car journeys to our vacation destination. Often garnished with the odd traffic jam. On top of that, there are also bickering children. Here's our stitch-smart tip: a DVD player or tablet for the little ones (you have to be flexible when it comes to education) and a mindless knitting project for you. Simply knit in the round can be so wonderful! And at the end you'll be rewarded with the Lola Kjole from Sandnes, for example. Yes, it takes time. But if you don't manage to finish it this vacation, you'll finish it next vacation at the latest!
In general: dresses. They simply have to be! Because whether it's a walk on the beach, a nightcap at the hotel bar or reading with an alpine panorama in the background - it can always be light and airy. And not just for you, but also for your little fellow travelers. Who - you guessed it - are still very much inspired by binge watching in the car. And such a mommy-daughter look is just always wonderful. Goes perfectly in this case with the mini edition of the Lola Kjole.

In the Maschenfein store you will find a variety of designs. From round to V-neck, with stripes or without, in rib pattern or in brioche - it's all there. And also in terms of needle size, everything is on offer.
Endurance knitters simply use their favorite 3 mm needle size and knit, for example, the fine stitch designs Sea Silk Top from Pure Silk by Knitting for Olive or the Hedda Tee from Gima and Kosho by ITO or Cumbria by Pascuali. 4 mm needles and three different necklines are available for the Cleo Top by Rust Knitwear in Line by Sandnes and 5 mm needles for all friends of a well-groomed sprint with the Hytta Tee by Rosa P.. Here you are knitting with Ica from Lamana. As always, of course: test knit! But you need a point of reference and a rough direction. Otherwise you won't reach your goal or go on vacation!
Pretty little things do not matter at all in terms of luggage ...

Of course, the knitting time on vacation is always such a thing. In the head you have veeeeery much of it. In reality, however, it looks different. The pile of books still needs to be read and - oops - the family also needs some attention.
Our tip here: Knit little things! The trend for mini shawls has been going strong for some time now. And Maschenfein has already published two little shawls this year. Psst, we've got a few more in the pipeline!
This summer, however, you can already take a look at the Paul Scarf and the Mininata. We can't recommend them often enough. And knit them. Several of them will also provide you with emergency gifts. Or just the right scarf for every outfit. And yes, knit them with Cashmere 6/28 from Pascuali or Como Cashmere or Roma from Lamana. These are basically warm yarns, but we'll tell you something: the first crisp mornings of fall aren't that far away ...

Bags also always convey summer feelings
You can also capture the summer with knitted and crocheted bags. With so many great designs to choose from, you'll be spoiled for choice. Both young and old can put everything they need for a day at the beach in the maschenfein Icaba Bag. Lee's Crochet Bag from Lankava is perfect for a stroll through the market. The Florence Bag from PetiteKnit, on the other hand, is small, fine and hands-free. So, which bag will it be?

No more time for knitting and crocheting?
Who is now project-technically supplied, but still needs a (finished) bag for the vacations: No problem! Our project bags and pouches are not only great for wool and accessories, but also for towel, swimsuit and Co.
You can find a great selection of colors in the Minuk shoppers, for example. The small Hamburg label makes all of its bags by hand from colorful, robust canvas. This means you can easily take the bags with you to the beach or on a stroll through the city. The same applies to the Minuk bucket bag, which impresses with its circular base and great stability.

Of course, don't forget the right needles for your project. We now have so many great manufacturers in our store - everyone should be able to find the right set. Of course, we will be happy to help you if you have any questions about the different systems. Our tip: Try out a single pair of needles to see if you like the feel before investing in a whole set. And: We have found that some yarns knit better on metal - and vice versa. It is therefore worth having one or other needle in both versions in stock. This works particularly well with the manufacturer Chiaogoo.
