Crochet Flower Garland

Well, I really have had to hurry with this garland! Since the weather forecast says that the winter is coming back later today with lot of snow and minus temperatures again – I wanted to keep the spring feeling and hang my new garland in the window.

It was raining the whole day yesterday so I had enough time to put all the flowers together and decorate everything…I am gonna try to ignore the snow and think forward of all the warm days that will come very soon! have a nice sunday to all of you! I will do that too, maybe with some cake in the left hand and a nice hot cuppa tea in the other.

You just need a Mug Cozy

I have to say, knitted mug cozies seem to be everywhere and you just gotta love them. I even do not care if they are spelled mug cozy or mug cosy. This fall and winter I don`t drink coffee from a ’naked‘ cup. Well, making them is another story. You need to know some serious knitting in order for them to look nice.

Luckily I have friends, and Marius was able to do those beautiful crochet roses that I simple had to attach to my basic cozies. Thank You Marius, these are my favorites.

Is this Guerilla Knitting?

Well, I don’t really know. But at least my husband thinks it is as these things suddenly appear at our house. However what I know for sure is, that this will not be my last project regarding that matter.

Urban Knitting at our House

It all started when I found this great PomPom maker in a store in Cologne (thanks to Marius). After finishing all my inventory stock in wool during the first evening, I was overwhelmed when I hung up the pompoms at the tree on our porch.

It looked great, but still kind of empty. That’s when I thought, that also the trunk and the twigs of the tree needed some spruce up with the help from the knitting needle.
And there another idea just popped out: Wouldn’t it be kind of nice to have some crochet flowers ranking around our street number? And after days were I was busy with working on that porch project at the front door, and people were wondering what I am doing there?!, I can finally show you the first results of my guerilla knitting, or yarn bombing or knit the city, or whatever name you wanna give….

Vintage Bunting forever?!

Yes, I know what you are thinking: How many buntings does this girl need ?? This is not only my third bunting, I have the feeling that there are still even more to come…

Vintage Bunting

The idea was the following: I wanted to start some knitting again, and no, socks would have been too difficult for me, because I am a real beginner here…I needed something really easy, but still something I would deeply enjoy when it is finished.

So, the bunting idea it was! of course I couldn’t tell the friendly granny in the wool store what I was planning to do, for her, it would have sound like wasted time and money at all. But I am quite satisfied with my knitting skills. Let’s see, how I can improve and taking the next step on it.
