He loves me, he loves me not… I recently thought of this game where you tear off one little petal after another of poor innocent daisies. So, it's much more nature-friendly if we knit instead 😉 "Happy-go-lucky" and "sad to death" are sometimes very close to each other when you're in love - which is exactly what this little square reflects. You can use it to clearly show your own mood, but perhaps you also have a teenager around you with exactly these mood swings, in which case the square with a "whole / broken heart" is a suitable gift. It can be used as coaster or as cleaning pad. In this blog I show you how you can work the little square with a whole heart on one side, and a broken heart on the other! So, grab two skeins of yarn, knitting needles, and let’s start. Read more »

Are you a knitting beginner and would like to have a quick experience of success? Or you have been a knitter forever, but just feel like doing a small but effectful project in between? Then this is the right pattern for you 😊 In this thread I will show you how you can work the butterfly as a motif for a little coaster or a cleaning pad. You will get step-by-step instructions, so even beginners with basic knitting skills will be able to follow easily. All you need to do is knits and purls. In addition, there is also a knitting chart if you prefer working according to a chart. You can work the butterfly for yourself, but of course also as a present for a beloved one, who likes these fascinating animals, too. In Swiss dialect, the name for these flying wonders is “Sommervogel”, which translates to “Summer bird” – I think that’s quite appropriate.
