Corners, Edges, Stripes
My new favorite shawl: great colors, fun stripes, interesting construction, generous measurements – and the yarn is so soft and feels so good that I think I will never take this off! “Corners, Edges, Stripes” is the striped… Read More
Smooth Sailor
This is probably the one single thing that I have designed that makes me most proud – because Smooth Sailor is whatever you would like it to be: Put your arms through the holes and wear it as a… Read More
Snowflake Party
This was the first pattern of Strickmich! Club 2016. Tiny snowflakes are my favorite things in nature: They are fascinating geometric little creatures, delicate and short- lived. When I take a walk in winter and the wind blows… Read More
Shrug & More
Easy to knit, multifunctional and interesting to look at – that’s the kind of knitting project that I am most fond of these days! Shrug & More was designed as a garter stitch shrug, but the arm openings… Read More
It’s happening!
Things are hap-pening around here: First of all – all Strickmich! Club parcels of the second shipment 2016 have left the building this Tuesday. They are on their way to our excited members, and I am really looking… Read More
Lapislazuli
A lovely, airy laceweight in an interesting color does not need an intricate stitch pattern to show off its virtues! While knitting up this shawl, you can perfectly relax. No purling required, and apart from the occasional yarn… Read More
Buds & Bumbles
Every summer I find myself suddenly without anything hand-knit to wear – even the biggest wool-lovers among us will have to admit that Merino tends to lose its appeal once it’s 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) or more…. Read More
Thousand Tulips
The wait is over! The first pattern from Strickmich! Club 2015 is now available to everyone. It is the first shawl that uses this unusual, special construction that I developed – check out Braidsmaid, Match & Move and… Read More
Jasminde
A pretty triangular shawl with a simple, geometric lace pattern and a stunning effect – that’s “Jasminde”, the third pattern from Strickmich! Club-year 2014. The pattern features actually only two different patterning rows, so it is also suitable… Read More
Rosen Bridge
This stole has been in my imagination for quite some time, and now it has come to life! “Rosen Bridge” is a long tube and offers lots possibilities on how to wear it. Pull it over your head… Read More
Heaven and Space
A couple of weeks ago, there was a big surprise at Rohrspatz & Wollmeise: A new yarn base with 20% cashmere called “Blend“, and when I got my first skein I couldn’t stop knitting on it. The result… Read More
How to wear Viajante
Every time I show and explain my design Viajante to knitters at live events, it is sort of a revelation: Ahhh, that’s the way it works! So I thought you might enjoy a little video where I show… Read More
Brickless
Als die wunderbare amerikanische Handfärberin MissBabs mich letztes Jahr fragte, ob ich eine Anleitung zu ihrem Wollclub beisteuern wollte, habe ich keinen Moment gezögert – zumal ihr Wollclub unter dem Motto “Knitting Tour” stand und so eine Art Weltreise… Read More
Lintilla
Es war viel zu tun. Aber letzte Woche kam mir plötzlich die Erleuchtung, wie ein gerüschter Hitchhiker aussehen könnte – ich hatte schon viele Rüschen ausprobiert, aber die meisten gefielen mir nicht so gut. Und dann, als ich… Read More
Magrathea
Die Anleitung für mein neues Tuch ist fertig! Es heißt “Magrathea”, und das hat natürlich auch wieder mit dem Buch “Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis” zu tun: Magrathea ist der Planet, dessen Bewohner maßgefertigte Luxusplaneten auf Bestellung fertigen…. Read More
Hitchhiker
Oh, war das schön. Ich hatte seit viereinhalb Jahren zum ersten Mal wieder ein Wochenende nur für mich, und ich war an der Ostsee (habe der Versuchung widerstanden, nach Pfaffenhofen zum Wollmeise-Laden zu fahren): Ich liebe den Ostseestrand,… Read More
