Knitting Competition: The winners have been announced!
Our knitwear competition is over - and the editorial jury has selected the three winners, each receiving a surprise package. The winners will be notified in writing.
Doorstop "Owl"
The sweet owl doorstop Linda has made and knitted in our hearts.
That's how it's done: "Crochet the round bottom, then knit with a knitting needle knitting game for socks, take off a little for the neck, then increase a few stitches, fill with fillings and sew in. Stones for better stability can also be filled in. With leather or imitation leather eyes and beak work it out and sew it on. "
Material: Wool, leather, filling material
Blue-green blanket
© Angelika L.The blanket in shades of blue and green was knitted by Angelika L. and thus secured one of our surprise packages.
That's how it's done: "Pick wool in the color you want and knit squares smooth / wrong, with the woolen threads on the inside squares loosely carried along the back and the size of the squares as you like, as well as the color blend." Material: "This blanket is made of 100% acrylic wool, but it can also be a mixture of, for example, 50% virgin wool and 50% acrylic wool."
Warm-cold sweater
© Andrea K.Andrea K. knitted this colorful sweater and christened him "Warm-cold-sweater". It is hardly more colorful!
That's how it's done: "As a basic knitting instruction any x-standard standard instruction is suitable for a sweater." With this sweater I did not knit "front-back" but "left side / right side" What to look out for is that the sleeve slants emanate from the middle, and the neck "front" at the one part on the right, on the other part on the left - and for the neck on the back of course - have to be considered. "I knitted the sweater from the width one size smaller than my size. On the one hand you do not have exactly in the middle of a stark color break and a seam edge and on the other hand there is again a "crazy" kick Attention: When calculating the neck width, you have to count on these 3 to 4 cm! I made the sleeves in the same color combinations as "right and left" and then I knit different patterns - Pearly, right-left squares and of course very different stripe width. When I was wearing the sweater for the first time in a restaurant on holiday, a lady came to my table, who wanted to buy me the sweater necessarily. At 350 euros, I still refused with "No - my unique" and she had given it up then. "
Material: "Circular knitting needles 3 and 3.5 Schachenmayr" Regia silk "4-ply, colorful rests, about 550g in size 38/40."
