My first piece of summer knits this year: the Jackie Bandana. Made of cotton and linen blend it's the perfect little scarf for chilly evenings and AC's gone wild

Thank you 💛 Knitting really is my escape from the real world ☺️

My life is a bit overwhelming right now. I'm facing some changes this year and this is good, but still exhausting at times. Therefor I particularly enjoy quick and simple knitting projects these days like my current WIP, a Jackie Bandana
🧶

Displayed on a brown woolen blanket are a ball of jeans blue DK weight sock yarn attached to half knitted sock and a cappucino.

I'm in desperate need for a quick no-brain-just-knitting-project to calm my nerves and fingers. Luckily, ribbed socks made of DK yarn are in my top 5 favourite projects and do the job every time 🧶

The pictures shows a bunch of items on a wooden table: a cappuccino in a pink mug, a tube of hand cream, two pieces of pastries on a plate on top of a book about interior design, and ball of grey yarn attached to an unfinished knitted sleeve.

I'm kind of stuck with my Maggie Cardigan. So I cleared my schedule for the rest of the day. The goal is to finish knitting this sleeve. Fingers crossed!

Oh je! Aber es wird sich lohnen, wenn du es dann lieber und häufiger trägst! 😊

That sounds promising. Thanks a lot! 😃

Gerne 😉

Thanks a lot! The pattern is Blouse No.2 by Myfavouritethingsknitwear and the yarn is Drops Belle. Hope that helps! ☺️

In a weird way, it is comforting to learn that even native speakers might struggle with this and that this might be more of a time barrier issue than of a language barrier issue. This encourages me to keep trying. Thank you!

Thank you! I'm afraid that the slang used in Mark Twain's books is a bit too old for Urban Dictionary, but I'll keep it in mind for more recent books.

The pictures shows a book and a Kindle reader. The book is James by Percival Everett and the Kindle displays the cover of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.

Before reading #james by #percivaleverett I decided to re-read #huckleberryfinn first to refresh my memory. First time in the original English version (I'm German), and I'm struggling with the dialect. Do you have any tips and tricks for better understanding besides reading it out loud?

The blue scarfs are a bit more playful, and I like that for a baby hat. Both look really nice, though!

The book The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi and a cafe latte in a big colorful cup on a grey cloth.

The Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi might be the most difficult read for me in the last year. But it's worth it as it shows the perspective that at least I haven't seen much in the media until recently in great detail and with lots of background information.

There is no gauge indicated for the cable section? Then go with the needle size to achieve the given gauge. And with cables I would definitely recommend to wash and block the swatch to check the gauge after blocking. Hope that helps somehow 😊

Dankeschön 🥰

😅 It took quite a while, to be honest. It became veeeery meditative, though 😉

Yes! It's dark gray, which makes knitting a little less annoying 😉 Thank you!
