Ebbelwoi is the word for “Apfelwein” in my native Hessian dialect, which is a rather tart kind of apple cider. It’s typically served in a special grey stoneware jug with a blue pattern calleWesterwald pottery, named after the Kannenbäckerland (literally jug bakers’ land) in the Westerwald region in southwest Germany. I personally prefer English...

STROBILUS is a fun project to practice your colourwork skills. The mittens are worked bottom-up in the round using two colours. The pattern is easy to remember and you only have to weave in a few floats on the thumb gusset. Choose two shades from De Rerum Natura’s vast colour palette and get playin’!

This pattern is also available as part of a kit containing a skein of the original yarn (Tulliver Yarn Blueface/Masham DK, enough for one pair, free choice of colour) and the pattern: https://www.tulliver.de/yarn-shop/dinkel-mittens-kit/

ESCHER THREEFOLD is a cowl worked seamlessly in the round, using a provisional Cast On and Grafting to join both ends. It looks the same inside and out, upside and down. Choose three (or more!) colours from De Rerum Natura Ulysse’s vast colour range and watch the Escheresque metamorphosis unfold.

This design is one of the 12 modern, minimalist patterns featured in JEWELS, the third book in the European Nature series by Making Stories which combines ethically and environmentally-friendly made yarns with modern, minimalist knitwear designs. JEWELS is available through our webshop and selected stockists.

Get cozy! The Winkelgasse Wrap is an extremely versatile accessoire sure to keep you warm during chilly winter nights, while skiing, or in front of the fireplace. It can be modified for any gauge and size, from a children’s scarf in sock yarn to a full-size afghan in chunky yarn. And the best thing? The fabric is reversible! What’s not to love ...

Think of those single skeins of super soft and squishy yarn in your stash. You know which ones I mean. They have the perfect fiber content, yardage, and colour, but you could never afford a sweater’s worth, so you only buy one at a time and never quite know what to do with them (other than admiring them every now and then).

Long rows of cushy garter stitch form the main body of the Elva Shawl, making it ideal for walks in the late autumn sunshine (or any other occasion!). The beautiful yet easy lace pattern running along one edge gives a little bit of interest without being frilly. The shawl knits up fast and is a great project to try your hands on lace.

The Marius Fingerless Mittens are a modern take on the well-known and loved Marius pattern. Knit in two muted shades and embellished with a subtle embroidery in duplicate stitch, these mittens play with the tradition and give an up-to-date feel to a great classic.

The Brua Cowl is worked entirely in knit and purl stitches and has an easy-to-remember repeat, making it perfect for beginners or if you crave a quick and mindless knit. You can adjust the size to your preferences and the amount of yarn you would like to use.

A fun and easy design to add a pop of colour to dark days. The mittens are worked in stranded stockinette to prevent cold hands during adventures in the wild. Take advantage of Jamieson & Smith’s wide colour range and work in high contrast colours as I did or make a muted version with different shades of the same colour. The pattern looks g...

A nice, simple design for autumn. Worked in knit and purl stitches, the pattern adds interest without being frilly. Perfect for people who like it elegant, but not too fancy.

Note: The design seems to take more yarn than I expected. If you want to make sure to have enough yarn to finish the cowl in its original size, buy another back-up skein.
