Keyword: On the needles

Here we go with a new round "On the needles", because March is here! In the past month there was a lot to browse, I'm always happy about every single link and hop excited to you over, one or the other project or the corresponding tutorial has already landed on my walls. Also on Instagram there was much to see under the hashtag #aufdennadelnfebruar!

I've been knitting kind of crazy in the past month. After the diamond scarf, I wanted to get rid of one of my UFOs and decided to use the freestyle raglan-from-the-top that I had cast on for the prince last winter. Without further ado, I ribbed everything up and by now the gathering stripes is now finished except for the sleeve ends. A second one will be knitted directly afterwards, because this model is wonderfully simple, plain, but beautiful and the absolutely perfect in-between project when you don't want to think much. The wool is called Zara by Filatura the Crosa, I bought it last winter at mylys in Hamburg and now reordered. Is suitable with the superwash finish very well for a princess sweater and knits quite wonderfully.

And what do you have on the needles in March? What has become of your projects? Will you tell me? I'm looking forward to it! You can link up all month long!

Are you ready for our monthly knitting round at "Auf den Nadeln"? Last month we had 59 (!) contributions, I'm very happy that you have so much fun with it! By the way, the last contribution came in from Marina the day before yesterday. It is really worth the whole month, always look in. There was also a lot to see on Instagram under the hashtag #aufdennadelnjanuar.

As for me, the Silkhair diamond shawl is still on the needles in February. Why is it lying there for so long? Unfortunately, I had (as so often) not ordered enough yarn and had to reorder. In the original store there were first delivery problems and finally one of the colors was no longer available. Oh horror! But I found it elsewhere (a different lot number, but since I knit two-color, double-threaded, it's not so important). Unfortunately, I was then also delivered the wrong color. The exchange went smoothly, but I couldn't start knitting the diamond scarf again until last Friday. But I was extremely productive with my other projects, I just have to show them here!

And what do you have on the needles in February? What happened to your projects? You can link to each other all month long! Attention: You have to put a backlink to this post or blog in your post, otherwise it won't work with the link tool. A backlink is nothing more than a link to this blog :)!

A wonderful late good morning in the new year! I'm back from the net vacation. Clammy I have the one or the other times then but rummaged and read, you know certainly. Because even very late in December has done here on the needles still a lot and one or the other has linked their project. So go there quietly rummage again. Here it goes on with the January:

I haven't had any time to knit in the last few weeks, but when I looked at the pictures of my rhombus scarf-to-be, I'm proud of the progress this scarf has made, despite the hustle and bustle, Christmas, traveling with toddlers, and so on.

However, I have now run out of wool again, I'm waiting for the parcel man.

Meanwhile, I'm still knitting my Tosh shawl, for which I'll probably have to reorder two skeins as well....

And what do you have on the needles in the new year? What has become of your projects? You can link to each other all month long!

Have you seen that in November already thirty people have diligently linked their projects at Auf-den-Nadeln to browse? What I was pleased. Since I'm curious how it looks in December with you on the needles so! I show you my projects, I had in November unfortunately relatively little time to knit:

My never-ending-will scarf is finished. Single-thread knit from gauzy cashmere-silk-merino blend from Filatura di Crosa (the yarn is called superior). Now the threads need to be sewn up. Favorite activity, #malsogarnicht. Before I can show it to you in all its glory, though, I'm thinking about blocking the scarf. Because of the pattern, it curls a lot. I am still unsure and so he must still lie a little, wait and let my thoughts mature.

The Tosh cloth takes shape, in the beginning I was still busy writing, but now it develops rather spontaneously. But I explain the pattern to you sometime. Have patience!

I like the never-ending scarf so much that I will repeat the pattern in a slightly modified form and with different yarn and write a tutorial! Maybe that works out in December in time for the holidays. I show you the days more of it, the new scarf is namely also already on the needles.

How does it look with you? What happened to your projects and what do you have new or old things on the needles in December? You can link up all month long!

While the autumn has given us a few nice warm days and I still get along with a heavy cardigan, it is now slowly colder outside. You are all already eager to knit, we could already admire the last on the needles link-up. I am very happy that so many of you are here! And let's go into November!

Not much has changed for me "on the needles"-technically. I haven't been able to kill the UFO yet because of all the Lakota knitting- the scarf made of a gossamer cashmere-merino-silk blend still lies on my lap in the evening. I'm getting there. But it will take a few more evenings in November.

My Tosh cloth offers me there welcome change, it grows slowly and I like it already very much!

How does it look for you? I am curious. What has become of your projects and what do you have in November on the needles? You can link up all month long! Attention: You have to put a backlink to this post or blog in your post, otherwise it won't work with the link tool .

Schwups, a month is around, many of you have brought out the needles, what I was happy that already last month here some have participated in "On the needles"! By the way, I love autumn and am very much looking forward to October! I love cozy cardigans, heavy scarves and hats. The smell of damp leaves, gathering chestnuts, the rustling underfoot! I'm not one of those people who only bring out the knitting needles when it really makes sense - when the leaves turn color and it gets cooler. Nevertheless, it makes me but of course even more joy when the finished projects immediately go on the head, around the neck or on the hands.

Last month I knitted the brioche blanket. And I have many, many, well I mean really damn many times my new hat model ribbed. Finally found a perfect solution and I can not wait to show it to you in all its glory. You'll have to endure a moment of suspense, because behind the scenes the ideas are bubbling away! Then the eBook will go online together with a little surprise and I'm already so excited how you like this year's cap!

In October, I would like to hunt down a UFO. Yes, sir. Must be, nech? Namely, it will go to this beautiful scarf to the stitches, which should actually have been finished in August for a birthday and which unfortunately, unfortunately, when I realized a few days before, that will nix, first wandered into a project bag. So. It should be finished! In October!

However, so that I do not only UFOs hunt, I have allowed myself a new project. I call it times "Tosh cloth" and show you my pattern shenanigans soon in a separate post. Who looks very closely and has read very closely here, can then also recognize where I have jumped for this project the inspirations!

And now I am of course curious how it looks with you! What has become of the projects and what do you have this month on the needles? Will you tell me? You can link up the whole month long!

My goodness, such a blog launch is not for the faint of heart. When I gave yesterday on all channels the starting signal for maschenfein, I was crazy excited. And then so many visits in the first hour and also my new Facebook page have already discovered some *freu*. Now it goes on here of course. I hardly know where to start, so there is a little late the September "On the needles" post.

"On the Needles" is a monthly series I started over on Engelenchen and some of you have even joined in. I would like to continue this monthly (actually, of course, always at the beginning of the month). I find it super exciting to click through the other blogs and see what is knitted there. Maybe you'll even join in now in September and show what you're knitting this month and then we will certainly gradually a nice round!

I have in any case accumulated as a hopeless parallel knitter some unfinished objects and show you what I would like to continue knitting ~~finished in~~ September. A little pressure never hurts, after all! Maybe in a year we'll make a new series "Things that have been lying around here for a year" or something. Or we'll make a "UFO month" in which we knit all UFOs, i.e. unfinished objects, finished.

But now first to September.

So first of all there is a blanket in brioche pattern in blue and bright orange from Lana Grossa Cashcot and Nobile. Brioche knits itself wonderfully fast. However, the Cashcot is certainly not knitted again here, the thread is permanently twisted, knitting with it I feel a bit bumpy.

I'm also busy knitting a new hat from Mia by Debbie Bliss, which I've been working on and calculating over the last few days. I'll tell you the story behind this hat when the time comes. It has something to do with Carolin and Martina. On Instagram I have already shown a little more.

What about you guys? Are you also hopeless or gifted parallel knitters like me? What's on your needles and what will be finished next? If you feel like it, you can link here or just comment.

Help, I am excited. Already last winter the idea germinated very slowly in my head to start a new blog. A knitting blog. So one besides the old already four year old blog over there, which I don't intend to close, but which should just not be exclusively about knitting. And that's what I wanted. Just a pure knitting blog.

Here it is now! Hello and welcome to Maschenfein! A new blog with a wonderful new logo, developed by my friend Martina the formgeberin. I am attached to the knitting needle and do not want to give it away and here I can get rid of everything that comes to mind and much more. Now I am of course terribly excited if you come to visit me here. So I just start and wait and see.

There were also over on the old blog already many beautiful things that I will show you here bit by bit again. For example, the cable pattern beanies for my Miss and me, or a super great triangle scarf for the friend P. two-thread knitted from Filatura di Crosa Superior and BC yarn Semilla, which I have to show you here soon times in full glory. There was a very simple hat with pattern for the tubular cast-on for the DaWanda blog, a huge XXL scarf for grandma, a pretty cardigan for's Fräulein and some more that never ended up on the blog.

So, because I realized over time that I would like to report so much and so much about wool & co., but somehow it got such a weight in terms of content that it found no place in my old blog, here is a new place.

Maschenfein is a blog for knitting lovers or those who want to be. For beginners and experienced hobby knitters. By the way, you can also crochet, I do that sometimes. I'm happy about every reader and hope of course very much that you participate and diligently comment and above all also ask and tell what you would like to see and read.

In addition to the blog, there is now finally my small e-book store on this page, where my tutorials are ready for download, I will also sort the free books there and who knows what will be added in the future so everything. My e-books got a completely new layout, of course also by Martina, they look great and are even more fun! I have many ideas on which I already werkle, there will soon be more pattern, I will report.

You see, I have a lot planned, that will be fine! All the way Maschenfein! Are you with me?
