Ahoi – lookbook

I had all the designs for this collection in my mind for a long time. And they all tell about my longing for the little island – Juist. For the colors, the rhythm of the tides and the seemingly endless vastness, welcoming you to feel one with it.

Ahoi - seaside sweaters features 5 pattern: A tunic, a sweater, a croped cardigan, a long cardigan and a sweatigan. All avalable as single patterns, too

Find the e-book on ravelry

Ahoi!

Cruise (ahoi)

The final pattern of Cruise (ahoi) will be out on ravelry on December 10.

The last clue

We had a wonderful day at Wolleria Berlin, casting off the Mystery Sweater Cruise!!

The first clue

The cast-on party of the Mystery sweater KAL at Atelyeah in Moenchengladbach was so much fun!

Clam (ahoi)

Clam is a cute tunic and the first of the Ahoi e-book pattern!

Prisoner of yourself

©ANKESTRiCK, Rosemarie Trockel, "Prisoner of yourself", 1998 + Detail, Hamburger Bahnhof 2014

I saw this work of Rosemarie Trockel last year during the exhibition "Wall works" in Hamburger Bahnhof Berlin. I hope to see the film "I don't kehr" one day, a documentary about her work by Thomas Schmitt.

Again

Finally I've started to redo some of my older designs. Can you identify this one?


©ANKESTRiCK, again 2015

At the end I discovered a new way to do the "seams" more equal and with more knitting fun and I think it will be needed to rewrite the pattern with my knowledge of today.

review: ANKESTRiCK Trunkshow at mylys in Hamburg

It was such a lovely afternoon with my lovelies in my favorite yarn shop. Thank you girls!!!!!!

I brought something old, something new! (it's still nameless), something borrowed, and a lot of blue to the church :) and like a wedding the day ran so fast and there was so much to talk and touch, that we only manage to take a few photos:

Frauke and Katrin. Aren't they the cutest Whippet twins ever?:
