Be fast: Free knitting patterns for Christmas

11. December 2018 By Simone Neumann

The time has come… I feel I have not shared enough free patterns. I must compete with @cryptocariad‘s clever tip of the free knitting magazine Knitty, @marblely‘s wonderful find of expression fiber arts or with @muscara explaining the pattern base of Drops. In my untiring attempt to be admired and loved by absolutely everyone serve […]

Two important principles to plan a handknit sweater – Philosophy, Bauhaus and Josef Albers

4. December 2018 By Simone Neumann

It is fascinating to read about philosophies, about guiding principles and often I have imagined following some of them for a shorter period. Like an experiment I would obey these rules which derive out of the philosophy and my life would instantly change (to the better) for example: eating like the Pythagorean or acting after […]

Knit to be seen! Easy bobble hat and crochet cowl pattern

27. November 2018 By Simone Neumann

I am an attention seeker. I want fame and honour. An applauding audience at every step I make. I want to be seen in my glorious beauty (by now you perhaps notice the irony). No pedestrian nor driver should pass me without admiring my outfit (yes @cryptocariad I remember your comment ) and with these […]

Knitting the Pipipink Sweater

12. November 2018 By Simone Neumann

I still do not understand my crafty soul. I seem to work in strange spacings. For weeks and month, I started one new project after the other but never finish them. And suddenly there is this one project which I work from start to finish. This one project is like a starting signal to unbury […]

Fast fashion rant with knitted solution – how to knit mock rib stitch

7. November 2018 By Simone Neumann

19,95 € Really!!??! If it were knitted, I perhaps could convince myself that it is made with a machine in a big industrial building in less than 5 minutes, but crochet, so cheap!? No way. You already know from last week that I was in Frankfurt and that after all many museums were closed my […]

Flu(ffy) knitting – knitting a wrap cardigan while having a cold

2. October 2018 By Simone Neumann

First, beware: Do not lick this post, wash your hands after reading and disinfect your computer, I have the flu… With this security advice out of the way, wool, magazines and knitting will follow. I had a very busy week, so not too much ‘hobby-knitting’ for me. The bit of knitting I have done was […]

Miette Addiction – ahem update on my knitted cardigan

24. September 2018 By Simone Neumann

Last week I asked for your advice regarding my grey Miette cardigan from Andi Satterlund (1). And you lovingly helped me with your button- and sleeve-wisdom. So, I wanted to let you know, I (mostly) followed your hints. Today I present you my finished Miette cardigan. I started with the neckline update: I worked two […]

Diving deep into buttonland

18. September 2018 By Simone Neumann

Some month ago I told you about Randolph Carter , about the crazy dreamlands of H.P. Lovecraft. I described you some of the gruesome tales Lovecraft spun for his readers: rats in the walls, alien entities in the sea, strange scribblings in old and musty books. But the biggest horrors of all Lovecraft probably never […]

What to gift a master crafter

11. September 2018 By Simone Neumann

Do you like to buy or make birthday presents? I love this… If the job of a ‘present-buyer’ would exist, it should be mine (if you also want it, no problem, I would share :-D) Naturally there are some basic parameters which should be fulfilled, like me not being broke and having a bit of […]

The unexcited knitting progress post

4. September 2018 By Simone Neumann

Nothing exciting on the knitting front to announce… My green and very tight vintage sweater is finished and waiting for someone who will sew in the last yarn ends. The yellow sweater is currently sleeping in a box, because the ‘in-the-round-knitting’ hurts my fingers … no idea why. I hope this will go away, so […]
