Hi lovelies!
I hope you are well, and making a dent in your gift knitting (if you are gift knitting this year, that is!)
I am back here today with something a little different: A question for you.
Over the course of the last year, I took over writing most of our blog posts again, and while I love it very much, I also noticed that I tend to gravitate towards posts that I like to read – pattern inspiration posts, FO roundups, that sort of thing. Which is very much a deviation from where we originally started which was with lots of in-depth advice on knitting ("How to get gauge" is still an all-time favorite post!) and insights into how sustainable yarns are made.
I would love to get back to those topics in the next year, but as those posts require more time to research and write, I want to make sure that that is also what you want to read.
So, today, I'd love to know: What do you want to read on the blog? Comment down below with one topic or knitting-related question that you have on your mind right now – I want to hear all of them!

I like a mix but as someone posted earlier also things like a yarn review with pattern links plus it’s pros and cons. Articles such as tips and tricks for knitting socks with no nylon yarn but also wips and FO’s are nice to see too.

I always love reading about new patterns and the yarns you carry, but what drew me to you initially was your very useful information on sustainability and what that means in terms of yarns. So anything you can share with us on the issue of sustainability would be very much appreciated because you do it so well.

I like posts where you highlight a yarn and give links to patterns where it has been used.

Was ich gerne in Blogs lese:
- Portraits von neuen oder besonderen Garnen (mit mehr Hintergrund zu Zusammensetzung, besonders geeignet für…)
- neue Strickanleitungen, die ich sonst vielleicht übersehe…
- Tipps und Tricks zu verschiedenen Stricktechniken aller Art, von “how to get gauge” über “welcher Bind off ist für was geeignet” bis zu “welche Zunahmen sind für was geeignet”

Both in depth topics and pattern/yarn discussion is ok with me

About three weeks ago, I had surgery. Nothing major, and it was planned - but it was my first time undergoing general anaesthesia and facing an uncertain recovery period, both of which made me quite nervous. I knew that I was going to be in the hospital for two days, if everything went well, but then it was between one and three weeks of recovering at home, depending on how fast my body was going to heal.
Needless to say, I packed knitting for the hospital, but I didn’t feel like picking up my needles until my second day in the hospital. And then I knit. I knit, and knit, and knit. Curiously enough, I always get the urge to clear off my needles this time of the year - something about the weather changing, sweater season approaching, maybe? And this year, this urge coincided with me wanting to do something while watching copious amounts of Netflix without having to think very hard about what I was going to knit. Win win!
