Tadah! It's the finished #travelmodeblanket, a lovely design by @sosuknits. I immediately knew that I wanted to knit her design for the little man. Susanne's original version even had almost the perfect colours (I swapped the pale pink for teal and used a light grey for the base). I had to use another colour for the pretty i-cord edge because I didn't have enough left of the main yarn. I'm happy with the dark edge though 🤗!

As I mentioned in my previous post, I've finished the blanket a while ago and we started using it immediately (I hadn't even woven in the ends 😂). We took it with us on our trip to Bavaria earlier this year (all finished) in anticipation of a nice, rustic barn that I could use as a backdrop for a photo. Yup... I am like that... It's exhausting sometimes 🙄.

Anyway, the blanket is a favourite and we use it daily for nap times!

Pattern is Travel Mode Blanket by Susanne Sommer / Yarn is @knittingforolive Heavy Merino that I bought at @wolverhalen

This year I managed to post something on my grid for a marvellous five times so far! In order to keep on track with the average of one post a month, it's time to share something with you again 🤗.

It's a little spoiler of something that's been finished for ages (about half a year, I guess 🤔)... And no, I won't let you wait another month for the reveal 😂!

The little socks are here! Yay! 🧦🥰

You may have seen something already in my stories... If not, here's the story: Ingrid (@ingrid68) showed baby sock blockers in her feed and mentioned that there are no babies amongst her family and friends to knit little socks for... I took the plunge and asked her if she would be so kind to knit a pair for the little feet in the house. And she said yes!

We tried them on this morning and they're perfect. Thank you so much dear Ingrid! They are so darn cute 🩵!

On a side note... The little feet are eight months old now... How can they be be eight months old already? 🥰

Easter is just around the corner and our breakfast

Easter is just around the corner and our breakfast table is ready for it 👌🏻😊!

The placemats are made using the free Musing pattern by @artgalleryfabrics. The beautiful spring colours of the #agfevolve fabrics by @suzyquilts for Art Gallery Fabrics are perfect for this little project. They create instant joy on the table!

I created a video tutorial in German for this pattern for the subscription-based community @naehgang and I've seen lovely versions being made already!

The placemats are a great, last-minute Easter sewing project 🐣!

I chose the beautiful fabrics from the Evolve collection by @suzyquilts for Art Gallery Fabrics for my placemats.

There's progress on the #arijacke and I already love it! The #knittingforolive Cotton Merino is very nice to work with and it's so soft!

Bono is keeping a eye on the progress 😊!

Hello 2024! I know, the year's over a month old already... I very much like a slow start into the new year and January is usually a month where I hibernate a little. Well, it wasn't very quiet with the little boy! Days and weeks fly by!

I'm going to try to be a little creative at night when the little one is asleep. I've started a little cardigan for him a little while ago. Hurray for small projects! 🤗 Even those take long!

This #topnine2023 sums up my year quite well. There weren't many posts in my feed and there was not a lot of crafting. The little man, featured 3,5 times here, combined with moving to another country (and an extra move there) are the reason for that. I don't mind, although I hope that there will be a bit more time for crafting in the new year. For sanity 😉.

Thank you for following along and all the best for you all in 2024! 🤗
