A wonderful good morning to the Saturday coffee with a little this and that from the knitting world. By the way, the Saturday coffee in the blog newsletter always arrives on Sundays in your mailbox (if you have subscribed to it). A reader just brought this to my attention and then I remembered that my mom had complained about this before too. But as it happens (with mothers' information), it was lost on me immediately after I hung up the phone and it took a reader to remind me. So I will take care of it, so that this newsletter will hopefully reach you on Saturdays in the future.

The Mother's Day Mystery Knit Along is in its final spurt. Yesterday, the last part of the pattern went out to all hardworking "Zora" knitters and the secret of the design was finally revealed. We are now very excited to see many beautiful finished scarves under the hashtag #muttertagsmysteryKAL!

And as it is for us addicted knitters: After the shawl is before the next project! Since our summer surprise project , which I told you about the other day, is still in preparation and you have to be patient until we unveil our next cracker idea, we have of course collected all kinds of inspiration for you again this week.

For example, there is the cardigan Midding by Renée Callahan, for which you can find the tutorial on Ravelry. A very classic cardigan that is worked from the bottom up - with lots of cables. You could needle Sandnes Merinoull or Rowan Valley Tweed for it.

Long or short sleeved, you can knit Over the Water by Anne Hanson (go here for the pattern on Ravelry). It's a fairly simple raglan construction, again knit from the bottom up. I like the very wide ribbed cuff at the bottom, the rib pattern is found at the top of the raglan line. Our yarn recommendation: summer version Sandnes Mandarin Naturell or a bit warmer in Lamana Como.

You can find the tutorial for Calvi by The Wool Mood for free on Ravelry. The top is knit top down, with batwing sleeves and a nice lace pattern at the sleeve seam. You could use Lamana Ica for this.

Sideways Tee by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas is a very special construction, built from the center out. The pattern are quite pricey, you can find them here on Ravelry. Our yarn recommendation: Sandnes Line or Lang Yarn Canapa double knit.

For the current Sunday Tee from PetiteKnit we already had many, many requests. The pattern are now also available in German on Ravelry. The very typical construction for Petite Knit, round yoke top down, embedded in a rib pattern. Just like the Sunday Sweater, which I have on the needles right now and which "slips" so wonderfully fast. Our yarn recommendation for the Sunday Tee: Regia Premium Silk.

Kerstin knit.ding has the test running for her Heikeding (pictured left). I think that's pretty cool, it's knitted from Sandnes Duo, a really great, great yarn that knits like butter. The kit will of course also be available here, whether the test is already full, I do not know at the moment.

Right again a cardigan from my basic book stitch by stitch! Oh, I'm always so happy to see older designs again!

The palettjakke from Sandnes Børstet Alpakka is in hot demand right now, I also wear mine very, very much.

And then, of course, the scarf Zora is also in the third part already on the needles with you:

Martina nat already finished her second scarf (the first one is on its way back to her right now, that was the red model scarf you could already see in my Stories on Instagram yesterday).

And here are a few more Zoras in progress in various color combinations:
