Transition Time {Saturday Coffee & Webtalk}

Let's start with a design that Ririko has already released in 2019. I wonder why I have not already discovered it for you, because Dune and Modesty coincidentally fits my bill: loose cut, pretty details and yet clean lines - what more do we want?

You knit the cardigan from top down with saddle shoulders and short rows. The designer leaves us spoiled for choice, because the pattern includes two sleeve options and two closure options.

As yarn we recommend Lazy Lion from Kremke Soul Wool. The hand-dyed sock yarn brings colorful variety to the knitted piece. Alternatively you can also knit the jacket with Como from Lamana. But the feel will be much fluffier - a great option for the more autumnal part of the transitional season, right?

Also in the next design we can choose between different design options.

Crab Holes is a simple sweater by the designer Hinterm Stein. Here, too, you work from top down and almost exclusively with knit stitches. If you have never knitted a sweater - dare, the model is absolutely suitable for beginners!

Also at this point we would like to recommend two yarn alternatives to you. The one-thread-in-the-hand-is-all-you-want faction will be happy with Bergamo (Lamana). The I-knit-always-with-fluff fraction will be happy with So Kosho and Sensai of Ito will shout "Here!". By the way, Jule did that, too, and immediatly made up a kit.

Now choose from three body variants and two sleeve options and off you go!

Please do not choke on the drink, but I have to admit, the DECiSiON cardigan of ANKESTRiCK somehow went under my radar. How that could happen, I can unfortunately no longer reconstruct. But now it deserves all the more to be presented! I mean, who does not like braids please?

Anke couldn't decide in the design process how the closure of the cardigan should look like and so she simply integrated two variants into the pattern for us. The cardigan can be knitted without closure and without a collar or we decide for the version with zipper closure and high collar.

Again, knit seamlessly top down. With Sensai and Rakuda from Ito you will get a great result here!

If you are looking for a sweater that stands out mainly because of the materials used, you have now found it.

The Straight Up Sweater sweater by Danish designer Katja Dyrberg is a classic raglan sweater. The focus is on the yarn qualities that create a subtle and slightly transparent striped pattern.

Take for example Tynn Silk Mohair and Merino Ull from Sandnes. Our support team (support@maschenfein.com) will be happy to help you with color questions, of course!

Oh yes, you also knit this pretty basic piece seamlessly top down.

I know some of you knit socks all year round. In principle, I also do so, however, I had to realize that I havent cast on for really long now. That should change in the fall at the latest!

What do you think of this pretty footwear of the Danish designer Rachel Søgaard? The pattern of Thorsminde is inspired by Dutch ganseys (fisherman's sweaters) and therefore contains mostly knit-purl patterns. In addition, the designer has also worked faux cables in the pattern.

I will use a Krönchengarn for my pair, probably the variant Premium Silk or Premium Merino Yak. Who of you will join me? By the way, you can download the pattern for free on Ravelry.

For those who want to knit a shirt quickly, I would like to recommend Exuvia from Hanne Rimmen. On the one hand, stripes never fail. On the other hand, this model is an excellent opportunity to take a closer look at the new Pinta quality from Pascuali. Nothing has changed in the composition of the yarn, but you can now choose between many new colors. My favorites for Exuvia are 123 Cloud and 113 Pink.

Back to the model: You knit the shirt top down and thus gets along without sewing. The fit is quite oversized and flatters every figure. The small sleeves are knitted in the rib pattern at the end. By the way, the pattern is free!

The pieces don't even have to include complicated patterns. Like for example the Sophie Scarf. Attentive knitters with Instagram affinity have long registered that Mette aka PetiteKnit has once again whipped out one. Please forgive this choice of words, but I'm always amazed at the speed at which we can admire her new designs.

The Sophie Scarf is a small scarf in garter stitch with pretty edging. With the small size we can also treat ourselves to a really noble material. And there is of course only - you guessed it - Cashmere 6/28 BIO from Pascuali comes into question. The whole Maschenfein team is an unofficial fan club of this quality and you know what? You can get by with just one skein for the smaller size!

Crocheted bags are all the rage right now! I must confess, my crochet skills are in any case expandable, but why not try a new challenge?

The Hosta Bag bag is crocheted from the bottom up. The result is a spacious bag with a height of 66 cm, which through Organic Cotton (Krea Deluxe) guarantees a long durability.
