Stash-Busting Update

Hello everyone,

just a quick update on my current stash-busting adventures.

In March I went through my yarn stash and planned out a couple of projects to work on throughout 2023. Since then, I changed my mind regarding a couple of these projects as well as finished a few. Let's have a closer look...

Currently in Progress:

• Beanie (had to start over unfortunately, the pattern wasn't ideal...)
• Another Beanie (similar pattern to the one above)

Beanie no. 2 in progress

Recently Finished:

• Knooking Scarf & matching Wrist Warmers [March 2023]
• Sprial Socks [March 2023]
• Knooking Headband [April 2023]

Planned:

• More beanies in different sizes
• Short Socks with a heel
• Another Knooking Scrunchie
• Granny Square Clutch

See you soon!

Knooking Headband Finished

 Hello everyone,

I finished the knooking headband :) It took me a little while. To be honest, I got a bit tired of the pattern as it's quite similar to the spiral socks I worked on earlier.

Here's the result:

Another stash-busting project done :) And also another gift done!

Yarn: Schachenmayr nomotta TOMMI Baby (50% acrylic, 25% new wool, 25% viscose)

I used up about 35g of yarn with this project, so not even a whole skein. I still have 32g of said yarn left but I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with it. For now, I will set it aside as I have other projects planned for the next weeks.

See you soon!

Knooking Headband in Progress

Hello everyone,

you might have guessed it already, I started another knooking project :)

This time we're talking about a headband. I originally planned to use a totally different yarn as well as a totally different pattern but sort of changed my mind last minute.

So this is how it started - around midnight in bed ^^ :

And this is how it's going a day later:

So far I am definitely happy with how this looks. Let's see how the finished headband will look like, I will keep you posted!

See you soon!

Paper Tulips for Easter

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful Easter Weekend! I managed to enjoy a couple of sunny hours on our terrace while working on some of my knooking projects.

Apart from that I created some small Easter goodies, mostly Origami tulips.

I found the instructions for these over at Pinterest and instantly fell in love! As a matter of fact, I am probably going to get a bit more into creating paper flowers in the future, let's see.

See you soon!

Knooking Spiral Socks

Hello everyone,

I am happy to tell you that I already finished the spiral socks :) and I am so happy with how they turned out! So another gift to check off my to-do list :)

Here are the details:

Yarn: Schachenmayr nomotta TOMMI Baby (50% acrylic, 25% new wool, 25% viscose)

Pattern: The pattern I used was published in the Mollie Makes magazine no. 12/2014. My spiral part has 99 rows, the cuff consists of 16 rows.

This project used up 61g of yarn which is a little more than one skein.

See you soon!

Currently on my Knooking Hook

Hello everyone,

I'm just quickly poppin' in to let you know which projects I started recently.

1) Spiral Socks

This project is based on a spiral socks pattern our of an old Molly Makes magazine from 2014.

So far it's coming along quite nicely :)

The yarn I chose for this project is Schachenmayr nomotta TOMMi Baby (50% acrylic, 25% new wool, 25% viscose). It originally came from my mom's stash and it's safe to say these yarn skeins are older than I am ^^

2) Beanie

This one's inspired by the famous Musselburgh pattern. I am trying to recreate something similar with my knooking hook so to say :)

The yarn for this project is Schachenmayr Catania Color Originals (100% cotton). I bought these skeins at brands4friends a couple of years ago in a package of five.

That's it for today!

See you soon!
