On the needles {May 2024}

It takes a while before a design is finished and you can buy the pattern and knitting kit from us. And so Sandra is currently knitting a fine stitch model and putting Marisa's thoughts on paper. A real cozy dream that will be ready for you just in time for fall!

It all looks like we're going to start May with sunshine! Gorgeous!
The combination of cashmere 6/28 and mohair Bliss by Pascuali is also wonderful and will be gliding over my needles in May, growing into a new maschenfein design. It's planned for September so that you can snuggle up in it in the fall. And maybe Marisa will show you some more of it in the meantime.

Louisa has long sleeves once again. She couldn't get past the latest Anne-Ventzel model and fresh impressions from the trade fair. But read for yourself:

I'm going to take a page from good old Hesse: "And every beginning has its own magic ...". I'm currently knitting the Villa Wrap by Anne Ventzel. But unlike in our wool package, I'm knitting with Skadi from Hey Mama Wolf. The yarns presented by the label really impressed me at the trade fair and I wanted to knit something with them soon. Then last week I had the idea that the design and yarn could go together perfectly. And so I spent the last few days knitting stitch samples - that alone was fun. But now I can finally get started!

You can see a little in-between project from Jule. She waited patiently until her colors were available and is now getting started:

I'm the last one to finally finish the Mininata. I really wanted to knit it in Como Cashmere in pine and sage, so I had to wait until the colors were available. But now it's flying over the needles 🙂 .

Jule is joined by Mary-Anne. She has the "problem" of too many projects. Who doesn't know that? And so she just keeps on knitting pattern set after pattern set.

I took my time so that Jule wouldn't knit alone 😉 . Joking aside, of course I have too many projects on the needles and then I also decided that my mininata should become a midinata. So I knit until the two balls of Milano from Lamana are knitted up. In theory ... In practice, I'm ribbing because I slept at the beginning of the current pattern set. Well, more knitting fun for the same money!

Barbara has got summer on her needles. So when her daughter wants a new top, the color chart is consulted and her favorite model is chosen. I'm sure it will be loved again!

Early spring! My little girl wants a new pebble top from Lene Holme Samsøe - she has grown eleven centimetres in the last year. 🤭 The cognac-colored one was her favorite shirt, she wore it to the beach and summer parties, to school and to bed - and in winter as an undershirt. She remains true to her color scheme, and I knit with Pure Silk from Knitting for Olive in the color Copper. 😍

I'm super proud of a finished project that's just missing the buttons. But the next projects for May (and beyond ...) are already lined up!

Off the needles is my Lulu Slipover Junior from PetiteKnit in Double Sunday in Pink Lilac - now it's time for the buttons! I opted for the cotton buttons from Merchant & Mills in the color Mr. Citrus. Don't worry: Marisa has been busy reordering!

I'm really enjoying knitting and crocheting things for the children at the moment. But next up is something for me again. Namely the Mother's Day shawl Lotti from Pinta by Pascuali in the color beige.
