A beautiful good morning to today's Saturday coffee! I wish the dear Ninja a very special day! A very special day ... that is it today for them this Saturday! Yes, Saturday again. It's really incredible how fast the weeks go by. I have found a few nice links for you to browse through. Have fun!

We had already recently once the topic "Poncho". Goes always, I find! At Rowan there is just a whole pattern booklet only with ponchos! A poncho collection. I like this one best.

Last week I linked to a photo from Melody's Mandarine blog, it was about Faire-Isle. Melody has started a new podcast (crazy how many podcasts there are now, I've linked to a few here on the net whisper). This one is a video podcast where Melody shows off her current and recently finished projects. I think it's great! She talks very slowly, when knitting in the evening on the sofa it's comfortable, however, in the long run I'm rather someone of the "faster" kind and get bored when the information flows too slowly. The first episode is very much about Faire Isle, I find her projects incredibly beautiful and Melody herself, by the way, is also a very, very magical person, hop over and check it out!

Somewhere on the net I stumbled across the books of the two Norwegians Arne and Carlos, I think it was during my research for Faire Isle and Norwegian pattern. They have recentlypublished a book with various pattern in the Norwegian pattern.I don't know it, can you guys recommend it? Anyway, then again I also came across their lovely book on knitted Christmas baubles - called Julekuler - and judging by the reviews, it seems like a very successful book! I think knitting tree ornaments is a lovely idea! Hach and how cozy is the idea to knit red-white Christmas balls at Advent time with warm candlelight in the evening on the sofa? Since I come glautt in the anticipation mode.

Speaking of books: Jessica from Schönstricken asked me about my favorite knitting books. One of them I present to you today over at her blog! My absolute favorite reference book!

Do you already know the project "make29" from Elise? She turned 29 this year and to celebrate she came up with this special - pretty crazy - project. On the 22nd of every month she puts a special handmade product in the number 29 or 290 in her store - so a respective special edition. This month it's (ATTENTION:) 29 knitted baby blankets that she spent a year knitting. She's telling a bit more about it on her blog right now.

By the way, Elise also has a podcast. Not specifically about knitting, but rather directed at all those who are just building a "handmade business" in the smaller or larger sense.

So and if you now still have desire, then hop but again to "On the needles in November", because there are already many beautiful projects gathered!

Today there was a lot to read! I wish you a nice weekend!

A very good Saturday morning I wish you! Today is a very special day for us and we celebrate it with a few colorful balloons. For Saturday coffee I leave you a few links to browse:

In Munich there is a wonderful creative store with yarns, fabrics and haberdashery. Even an integrated small café belongs to it. I think I have to go there soon, I know Die Mercerie because so far only from Maki's pictures. Anyway, there is now also a new online store and there you can find great neon yarn. Is neon still in? I don't know, but I think it's pretty cool. I can't link the color directly, but look, I mean the Madelinetosh Merion Light in the colors Firewood and Neon Peach!

Have you seen the great, great new Knit Kits from Nina? The mohair scarf Silky Cloud is awesome, it gives me that want-to-knit feeling... if only I had a few more evenings! However, if you don't want to knit yourself, these kits are certainly super good to give as gifts!

Looking at this, I really want to learn Faire Isle soon. Or is that even Faire Isle? I have no idea at all about color pattern knitting. Can you explain it to me?

Attention podcast lovers: Ashley from the awesome blog Woolful is starting a new podcast! For knitters, shepherds, dyers, spinners and all who belong.

Are you also interested in the way to the beautiful yarn? Then take a look at Käthe's site. There she writes in detail and vividly about carding fleeces and the problems involved. I would love to visit her spinning workshop. Unfortunately, too far away and here in Berlin I have not yet found.

Have a great Saturday!

A very good morning to you! Grab your Saturday coffee, I have collected again a few nice links to browse:

I am absolutely totally in love with this scarf. Is it the color combination? Or this pattern interplay? Anyway. Please stop me from signing up to try knitting. You know... There's enough going on needle-wise around here!

Last Tuesday I was at the "Crafty Caffee Clatsch" by Stoff'n in a beautiful wool store in Kreuzberg, which I did not know at all! Carla has created a super pretty little store with Needles & Pins, where you can not only buy wool, but also knitting classes are offered.

This fairy wand would certainly go down brilliantly here!

I wouldn't mind a poncho. This one, this one or this one too?

Last week I showed you the crocheted provisional stop based on a technique by Ysolda Teague. Basically the same, but executed differently, you can find at Purl Bee! I don't know what I find easier.

I have countless scraps of yarn accumulated in a large box - in all imaginable colors. From this I could actually make lots of colorful pompoms. Quasi as a leftover recycling! Good idea, right?

What a pity that the prince is already running around, I would otherwise like to knit him such pants.... but they are only suitable for lying children. Much too bad otherwise! Maybe a nice Christmas gift inspiration for one or the other of you?

By the way, there is already a lot going on this month at "Auf-den-Nadeln"! So hop there from time to time, there are always new contributions!

I wish you a wonderful weekend! Tomorrow evening I have here on the blog once again visit. You may be curious!

A good morning to the Saturday coffee rummage round!

Via Hannah Fettig from Knitbot I came across the site Customfit. What a brilliant idea somehow! You choose one of the designs and after entering your own body measurements and the gauge with any yarn, you get the pattern individually tailored to you and the selected yarn. There are not yet instructionsttern online, but the basic idea I find good.

When I'm knitting, I really like listening to these podcasts right now.

A tutorial for pretty, fingerlorse children's gloves I found here. Sure, the fingers must also be kept warm, but what children like to wear gloves with fingers? Or even mittens? With the former, you fiddle around for hours in vain to maneuver all five fingers to the right place each time (at least I rarely succeeded last winter). With mittens, on the other hand, they feel too restricted. Can certainly bring the one or other tantrum with it. Fingerless gloves I find there not a bad compromise.

Very pretty I find this crochet pattern. For example, for a baby blanket?

Many, nice tutorials about various techniques I collect by the way on my pinboard Wool | Knitting & Co. | Know-how!

Oh and also in the last week a few projects have migrated to the list of On the Needles in October! So hop over again and look who knits this month there all!

Have a great weekend!
