Nicht ganz so spektakulär wie mein letztes Projekt, aber dafür mit umso mehr Glitzer:

Ein Zacken-Falten-Rock für meine Cousine!

Mein keltischer Lebensbaum ist einem mitternächtlichen Geistesblitz entsprungen. Der Pullover hat viel Zeit und Geduld in Anspruch genommen, und ich bin wahnsinnig stolz auf das Endergebnis. Für mich ist es mein persönliches Meisterwerk!

Dieses Mal habe ich gefragt, über welches Motiv sich der Nachwuchs freuen würde.

Dinosauriers sind aktuell ganz toll. 

Jetzt läuft irgendwo ein süsses Mädchen ganz stolz mit ihrer Dinosaurier Jacke herum!

My latest creation is a flower meadow jacket for the next generation. Both the flowers and the inhabitants of the meadow are all appliqués.

So you could say: I sewed just as much as I crocheted and stitched many more threads...

At the beginning of the year, I "persuaded" my cousin to let me crochet a summery flower dress for her. It consists of a light blue skirt with flower lace and a sleeveless white top. Additionally, it has a deep back and the entire neckline is also bordered with the flower lace.

I crocheted a basket with a red panda face on it for the laundry room. Now it happily hangs on the towel rack, watching us while we work.

Something new for the next generation:

a fun patchwork jacket!

I often see patchwork jackets, but I had never tried making one myself - until now. I'm happy with the result and it was definitely fun to make.

My latest creation:

a cute panda sweater!

I am allowed to crochet as much as I want for my friend's daughter - or until I run out of good ideas. Not happening soon!

My cousins surprised me with the crochet book "Magische Häkelfreunde" (magical crochet friends).

The book contains 14 charmingly cute patterns. I will definitely be crocheting at least 11 of them! So, I will be busy with this sweet gift for a while.

Once you try Cashseta Linea Pura, always Cashseta Linea Pura!

After making a cozy sweater, I had to make a second one. The yarn is great to work with and incredibly comfortable to wear!

The sweater is finally finished and even more impressive than I had hoped!

On the first visit to Onza per Onza, I had admired the yarn "Cashseta Linea Pura" by Lana Grossa: it is super soft to the touch!

After a long back and forth - with myself - I finally convinced myself to buy the wool and crochet a cozy sweater for myself.

The set of jacket and pants was finished after two weeks - it only took a month to upload to my blog... That's what happens when I finish crocheting in the middle of the week and don't upload the photos immediately.

By the way, the yarn was still really fuzzy after I finished crocheting everything!

Outside it is snowing and in our apartment, the black-pink lumberjacket is being finished. The yarn for the jacket was organized through a pick-up service during the lockdown.

Fortunately, we were able to go back to the store and browse all possible buttons.

What does a woman do when she has freezing cold feet all winter long?

She crochets a pair of socks, then another pair two sizes bigger, fills the space with filling material, and sews it all up. Voila, the super-duper-warm socks are ready!

If you have ever worked on a larger project, for example a sweater, then you surely know:

yarn ball one, yarn ball two...

balls of yarn everywhere!
