A wonderful good morning to Saturday coffee with a little this and that around Maschenfein and from the knitting world.

Saturday Coffee 109 Blog

I am addicted to the sweater fever. At the moment I'm "head"-knitting countless sweaters. No, no, there will be (at least this year) no pure sweater or cardigan book from me. But somehow I always have the following problem: when I have to concentrate on certain projects, I suddenly have a lot of ideas for other projects that I don't have time for. Do you know this, do you also feel that you can't get rid of topics and that you spend every free minute thinking about them?

Speaking of sweaters. If I didn't have to design and try so many things myself right now, I would knit myself a "Hint of Summer". I posted that in the Facebook group the other day and then it went round and round with ideas for yarn combinations. I'm especially excited about variations made from gima or even washi. You notice, the spring is just around the corner, so slowly you are interested in the summer yarns.

In general, the pattern from Isabell Krämer are just reduced. You would have to look at her on Instagram, she has mentioned the code, I'm not sure how long it is valid, until today? There are other beautiful sweater designs at Heidi Kirmaier and at Rililie.

On the subject of washi yarn, I still remember the new tutorial by Tanja Lay for the airy OSHU stole! A beautiful spring project, for which you need depending on the size 3 or 4 cones Washi, which is available in so many wonderful colors.

But maybe you just want to finally really instensivly deal with the topic of Fair Isle? Then I have great news for you, the Makerist course by Sophia "Faire Isle Technik und Steek" has just gone online! You can still get it now at the introductory price. With the help of a baby cardigan you will learn everything about Fair Isle: the technique, how to hold the threads, the tension, how to read knitting pattern, the right material and much more. Take a look, maybe it's something for you.

By the way, we at Auf den Nadeln have already collected almost again 90 projects this month. Go take a look and click through!

Have a wonderful weekend!
