Der „Hitchhiker“ ist eine der erfolgreichsten Strickanleitungen weltweit – allein auf der Plattform Ravelry.com wurden über 32 000 Projekte danach gestrickt! Die innovative, schräg gestrickte, längliche Form ist nicht umsonst seit 10 Jahren so beliebt: Handgefärbte, bunte Garne sehen damit besonders gut aus, und ein einzelner Strang reicht aus, um ein tragbares Ergebnis zu bekommen. Viele haben sich von dieser Form inspirieren lassen, und die Erfinderin des Hitchhikers selbst natürlich auch: In „Die Hitchhiker-Kollektion“ zeigt Strickdesignerin Martina Behm, wie kreativ sie mit dieser Grundform umgeht. Kringelkanten, Zacken- und Lochmuster, Rüschen und interessante Strukturen machen sich gut in der Hitchhiker-Form. Diese Kollektion bietet 20 Projekte für jedes Niveau – von der Anfängerin bis zur fortgeschrittenen Strickerin. Drei davon sind neu und nur in diesem Buch enthalten.In diesem Buch finden sich 17 bekannte und 3 neue Modelle von Martina Behm:Hitchhiker TrillianMagratheaLintillaBricklessNaiadaKnit Your LoveSamadhiLeftieJasmindeHeaven & SpaceBaltic SummerBuds & BumblesKnitters´ DNAMiss WinkleHalleyTivoli GardensHope & Confidence NeuBunny & Claire NeuTreehiker Neu

Strickplaner is all new! We have listened to your feedback and made it a "timeless" planner – with lots of pages for projects and notes, but without a dated planner, so you can use and keep yours for many years! What would you like to knit? All knitting projects start with this question: sweater, sock or hat? Poncho, mitten or teddy bear? Sometimes, a skein of yarn that has been living in your stash for a long time, will tell you what it wants to become. And sometimes, it is really hard to decide which yarn to use: Alpaca or Merino? Self-striping or semisolid? Handpainted or kettle dyed? It goes on with the needle size, the size you choose for the project itself and the number of stitches to cast on. And then you may decide to add a couple of increases at a certain point or some yarn overs, or to make the cuffs in a different stitch pattern. This little book will help you keep track of all your decisions concerning your knitting and knitting projects: Strickplaner – your knitting planner will help you to choose the best projects for a relaxed knitting time, to choose the best yarn and to organize your projects and notes in a clever way. If you like, you can use the timelines to plan your projects over the year. We have added information about imperial and metric units and measurements, yarn weights and types of fiber. There are pages to keep track of your yarn purchases and wish lists for everything knitting-related. There are pages for knitting books, fun podcasts and knitting events. Jot down your ideas for future projects in the “Ideas” section of the planner, and write down every detail when you cast on in the “Projects” pages. And for everything else that pops up in your creative knitter’s brain, there are lots of pages for lists, notes and sketches, complete with indexes to make sure no idea is lost. Strickplaner wants to be your trusted companion for all your knitting adventures: small enough to carry everywhere, useful and totally independent of Wi-Fi or electricity. Happy Knitting!

With more than 32,000 projects, “Hitchhiker” is one of the most successful knitting patterns worldwide. Its innovative shape and biased construction have been popular for a decade, likely because it looks awesome in colorful, hand-dyed yarns. Plus: one skein will suffice to make a wearable shawl! The Hitchhiker has inspired many other designs, and its inventor has used it as a canvas as well: in “The Hitchhiker Collection”, Martina Behm proves how creatively she uses her own construction. Loops and helixes, zig-zags and lace, ruffles and interesting structures look great in the Hitchhiker shape! In this collection, you will find 20 projects suitable for beginners and more experienced knitters alike – and quite a few that will help you acquire more skills and try out new techniques. Three out of 20 patterns are new and exclusive to the book.In this book you will find 17 well known designs by Martina Behm plus 3 new ones: Hitchhiker TrillianMagratheaLintillaBricklessNaiadaKnit Your LoveSamadhiLeftieJasmindeHeaven & SpaceBaltic SummerBuds & BumblesKnitters´ DNAMiss WinkleHalleyTivoli GardensHope & Confidence NewBunny & Claire NewTreehiker New

The ideal gift for the knitter in your life. Let them choose among the great yarn, patterns or knitting accessories curated by knitwear designer Martina Behm. 

Can the concept of an interchangeable needle set be improved any further? Yes, it can! I have been using several different needle systems over the years, and all of them had the problem that after a while, the needle tips would become loose, yarn would be caught in the screwing section or the tips would fall off entirely (a catastrophe when you are knitting lace...!). The click system by German manufacturer Addi solves this problem: You insert the end of the cable, press and turn – and the needle tip is secured for good. It won't come off, even after many hours of knitting. The mechanism is not hard to learn (it's shown in this Youtube video (opens in new window, in German – but you will see how it works!). It's a patented, true innovation and I think it's really awesome as it makes knitters' lives easier. What I also like about it: If you need to set stitches aside you can just use a connector to attach the ends of the cable to each other (this would not work with other systems!).  If you would like to make the switch to the Addi click system, this luxurious needle set is four you: 8 pairs of Addi Lace tips (sharp, suitable for complex patterns) in 3.5 to 8 mms, 3 cables (lengths 60, 80 and 100 cm) and a connector (which lets you combine the cables to 140, 160 and 180 cm). They come in a beautiful pink-purple satin case, so there won't be any chaos and you will always find the tips you need. On the back of the case there's a zippered pouch for the cables. It's also a great gift for your favorite knitter. This premium knitting needle set features different pairs of addi-click needle tips and addi-click cords in different lengths that are quickly combined to create the exact circular knitting needle you need.These needles are great quality "Made in Germany". The needle sizes are printed on the points (metric and US).
