A wonderful good morning to Saturday coffee with some nice links from the knitting world.

In the picture you can see the wonderful merino yarn "Como" from Lamana, which I have already stacked here for one of my next projects. It's going to be another baby blanket. I tell you, late mid-thirties is the baby blanket knitting age. I've come up with a nice pattern, you may be curious! I had already knitted Como for the baby blanket "Kora" and I can absolutely recommend it for baby blankets now, even after a few months of baby use with my friend. The stitch definition becomes a little irregular at first, but after washing and stretching it becomes nice and soft. Above all, the blanket is suuuuper light and yet nice and warm. absolutely great!

Karen from the blog Fringe Association has called for Slow Fashion October. I read quietly with and find that a nice action! I'm not (yet) so far that I could daily wear self-knitted, but that's not necessarily the point. Slow Fashion October is a kind of extended counterpart to Me Made May, in which sewing bloggers in particular wear and show self-sewn clothes for a month. May doesn't suit us knitters quite so well in terms of temperature. You can wear knitted but much better in October. So this is the starting point. Karen is not only interested in knitted items, but also in raising awareness about the origin of the clothes we wear every day. And of course, we will see many many home-knitted and sewn clothes in this campaign. On Instagram, the hashtag #slowfashionoctober is used.

Jule from Hey Mama Wolf did a very exciting experiment a few months ago and knitted stitch samples of one and the same yarn with different needles, but in the same needle size. So wood, square needles, bamboo and metal. Depending on the needle material, the stitch samples turn out differently! This shows once again how important, important, important, knitting stitch samples is. Especially when knitting larger garments. How annoying when they later turn out too big or too small, right?

At the needles has already come together again a lot, go there necessarily browse. Andrea knits the BeauB Cardigan from rililie, it's so beautiful! Mrs. Wollwesen knits Pam Allen's Morning Glory, I also like it very much. And anyway, it's fun to click through all the projects.

By the way, I wanted to recommend the Craftsy course Cut Your Knitting: Skein & Steek With Confidence. All methods are explained in detail and a small project guides you through the world of multicolored knitting.

Thank you so much for the super positive feedback on my new knitting tutorial - the diamond scarf! I am very excited about the first pictures, feel free to send me a link or tag me @maschenfein on Instagram when you knit the scarf. I look forward to it!

Have a great weekend!
