Once upon a time

I really have a fascination with fairy tales, ok the comic book series “Fables” to be honest, and knit designs inspired by them.
So much that I just put three patterns (Frau Holle, wilde Schwäne and the newly published Sterntaler) together as an ebook. There is still one pattern to be added to the collection later.

The Sterntaler knee highs are some of my favorite knee highs, warm, not too complicated to knit and the patterned part is not obscured by shoes or boots 🙂
The foot and calf part are completely adjustable to your size and the knee highs even look good in a variant or self patterned yarn thanks to the large stockinette part.

If you bought any of the single patterns or want to buy the collection after buying a single pattern you get 40% of the ebook.

Frau Holle Clue 1

So first Clue is up.
And some have already finished knitting it 🙂

This lovely Version is from Nadelhexchen:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this from Lotta2009:

The first one is rather simple and a nice easy start that will get more lacy and complicated as the KAL progresses. Don’t panik, still managable lace just more of it then in Clue 1.

Frau Holle

Last year a friends asked me to design her a lace shawl that started with plain stockinette stitch and ended in lace, the transition should be organic and not in stripes or too random.

So after a lot of charting and re-charting and getting new ideas I finished knitting my prototype of the shawl in may.

And now after a lot of test knitting and editing and puzzling all the parts together I started my very first self hosted mystery KAL.

The shawl is inspired by snow fall and thous named “Frau Holle” (Mother Hulda in english) one of my all time favourite fairy tails as a child.
