In the mood for spring? Here you can find spring yarns

Hier findest du alle Maschenfein-Anleitungen
Just the other day, we realized in our team meeting that we were somehow still stuck in the beginning of the year. It's a bit of a shock to realize that it's already May and we're in the middle of the second quarter. The signs are pointing to spring - even if we still - or again - have one or the other cozy piece on the needles. But read for yourself:
At some point they all become weak

Marisa is really bad. So everyone on the team is bad, but Marisa is the worst. I would never have knit myself a shawl in baby blue. I do now. Namely our beautiful Luna cloth from the equally beautiful Midnatssol by CaMaRose in Dueblå. Sometimes you just have to see colors in others first. I already told you at Saturday Coffee that we are currently revising the pattern, because in this case the gauge doesn't work and we are adding a sequence. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at "support@maschenfein.de".
There - together with Jule - Sandra always helps you. For me, she was the pinnacle of knitting discipline for a long time. One project, maximum - but only in exceptional cases! - one additional, no stash. Well.
And now? There I open Sandra's mail with the photo of the current project, expect the TheCozyHoodie from Clarissa Schellong and what do I see? A gauge! From Piper. For the Anna Cardigan. Her message about it, "Reason or not, when the boss lets such a great yarn move into the store, you almost can't help it... it all looks a hell of a lot like a #maschenfeinannaKAL. Who's in?" As quickly as you ordered Piper, I can tell Sandra either way: there are a few in!

Anticyclical knitting with Jule, Mother's Day with Sophia

Jule has decided on the following motto: "After winter is before winter." For this reason, she is knitting a new headband design. She has already explained to me how the plaiting will work. And I can promise you that we will make a video about it. The knitting will be done with the wonderfully soft Tibetan by Pascuali. The yarn (70% merino, 30% yak) already exists - but it has had an update: The merino portion is now certified organic and the color palette has gotten a huge expansion. From August you can choose between 38 colors. Personally, I think Jule takes a ball of yarn to cuddle in bed with her in the evening. That's how much she raves about it.
I hereby declare myself the new queen of knitting discipline. If Napoleon could crown himself emperor, that won't be so bad. And so I continue to knit Carla - our Mother's Day shawl this year. I have now cast off part 1 and am looking forward to starting the second part with Premia by LAMANA. Whereby the Kinu from ITO has very excited me in the first part - it simply creates a beautiful knitting feeling!

Good holiday morning
Is the Anna knitted 2-thread?
Just bought the pattern and with a yarn of almost 600m/100g and 5 needles I can not imagine otherwise almost... but find nothing ininstructionsttern to do so....
Kind regards, Katrin
Dear Katrin, no, the Anna Cardigan is knitted single-threaded. Also, the gauge is given with the 4 needle. You need the 5 needle to cast off. Of course, you should make a stitch test in any case. Best regards! Sophia
What does the negative surcharge on the Anna cardigan actually mean? Do I subtract it from the chest measurement? And if so, why? I find the yarn also enchanting and I heard that someone has translated the pattern into German? Love, Kathrin
Dear Kathrin, you measure your chest circumference and subtract half a centimeter and then see which of the given measurements you end up with. The cardigan is knitted a little tighter, because it still gains width through the pattern and is also worn open. We have had the pattern translated into German. If you buy the knitting kit from us and then send us the proof of purchase ofinstructionsttern by mail ("support@maschenfein.de"), you will get the German translation from us 🙂 Love! Sophia
Thank you dear Sophia🙋♀️🌸
