Product information "Literally"
A narrow scarf with a good
length, knit out of soft and colorful wool, is the best accessory for
reading in the park, for browsing
the shelves of your favorite book-store or library or on your way to
the book fair. Almost magically, it
makes us look sophisticated and
well-read – don’t you think? This
pretty scarf is knit on the bias
with a pretty zig-zag pattern that
is created by working increases
and decreases in a color-changing yarn: Use your own handspun
or something (almost!) as pretty
like “Edition 3” or Zauberball
by Schoppel or “Lazy Lion” by
Kremke Soul Wool. Depending
on how long you would like your
scarf, you will use between 100
and 150 g of yarn. You will need
four stitch markers in two different colors and a crochet hook of
suitable size, as you will crochet
cast-on new stitches every now
and then (I show you how that
works in a video). So: Happy knitting and reading!

Strickmich! Bowl – Accessory Pouch
€22.80*
This knitting accessory bag is different: Open the zipper and it will expand to a bowl where you can see all your knitting accessories at once. With a diameter of a little less than 10 inches, this bowl holds everything you need when knitting: circular needles, dpns, crochet hooks, tape measures, needle gauges, pens and pencils... you name it! It is also suitable for small projects like socks or hats or can be used as a pencil case. Just put it on the table in front of you and go! And when you're done, everything will be well protected by the sturdy organic cotton fabric.
Strickmich! Bowl is sewn by Manomama in Augsburg, Germany after an idea by knitwear designer Martina Behm: Sturdy organic cotton fabric that will hold its shape and a reinforced bowl bottom with wool felt from German sheep who live in the Black Forest. The contrast-color zipper looks great with the Strickmich! logo tag and is made in Germany as well.
Manomama is a project by Sina Trinkwalder, who established Manomama in the old textile hub Augsburg in Bavaria, employing people who find it hard to find work otherwise. Fair pay and good working conditions are an essential part of the project.

Zig-Zags have been a vital part of
my journey as a knitwear designer: the
pattern that started it all – the Hitchhiker – has a shark tooth edging, “Baltic Summer” is zig-Zagged through and
through, “Match & Move” is one huge
Zag, and “Rockin’ Rows” also features
lots of ziggy-Zaggy. Now comes the
time for a rectangular stole with lots of
zig-zags, and just because it’s so much
fun and looks awesome: on the bias. The
yarn is a super-soft, squishy organic
yarn named “Lovely Merino Treat” that
makes the shawl extra voluminous and
warm. Use it for warmth on your shoulders on cool summer evenings and as an
extra warm scarf underneath your coat in
winter. If you like, you can use up all 400
grams of yarn by working the red contrast
stripe more often. The pattern includes
instructions on how to make the shawl
wider and longer (for which you will need
more yarn). You will need 20 stitchmarkers to make this: 10 in red and 10 in blue. If you want to make it wider, you will need even more! Colors used in the samples:Grey/white/red: Edelweiss, Isar Kiesel, Kugelfisch and Rotbuche. Blue/pink: Tiefer Ozean, Distel, Blauwal, Rosa Orchidee.

A little colorful happiness
is just what we need right now – and
a knitting pattern that is relaxed, but
will keep you on your toes. Perfect for
blending out whatever worries you may
have at the moment! You will start with
a crocheted provisional cast-on (I have
a video for that) and zig-zag your way
along until you will join the cast-on
stitches and the stitches from the last
row with a 3-needle bind-off (there is a
video for that, too). Don’t worry if you
have never done it before, it’s easy! The
cowl can be worked longer or shorter,
wider or narrower, just as you please –
so you can be part of the happy crowd
wearing it!

Zig-zags just look cool, are fun to knit and go with everything, if you ask me! This shawl unites
the sharktooth design of my most popular pattern “Hitchhiker” with the construction of “Match
& Move”: two yarns interlock along the middle axis in a zig-zag-pattern. Of course, everything is
worked seamlessly in one piece, and in the end, there are only very few ends to weave in. For “Hitch on
the Move” we chose two lovely plant-based yarns, one with color changes and one without. If you prefer, you can use a set of mini-skeins for one side and a solid color for the other – the possibilities are
endless! Please keep in mind if you change yarns with every stripe, there will be more ends to weave in.
The pattern includes instructions on how to make the shawl bigger using more yarn.Below you can see color suggestions from Kremke Soul Wool "Morning Salutation" and Schoppel "Zauberball Crazy Cotton". The shawl on the photos is knitted from two balls per color.
