Hi Starfalz! First what in the world kind of spinning wheel do you have that you are afraid will mangle your kid or did you mean that you were afraid the kid will mangle the spinning wheel. I could see a walking wheel maybe mangling a kid. It does have that icepick like spindle. I have had puppies chew up my drive belt and rough up the corners of my foot pedal. The device I own that I would be terrified to have in the vicinity of a toddler are my Viking combs.

I should be shearing at least one sheep tomorrow. Probably one of the brown ones.

Yay shearing! I have a Fricke wheel, but my kid doesn't have an appropriate sense of danger and a spinning wheel with holes in it would be asking for danger.

Yes, I wouldn't let my kid near my combs or my hand cards. *shudder*

Ooooh, Frickes are lovely wheels, they've got a gazillion ratio choices. Or twelve.  Okay, maybe five. Whichever, they're nice wheels.

Oh, wow. You people are amazing. I have found my crafty people <3.

Sorry if this has been asked/done before, but has anyone tried to make Lalli's hat? I love hats, and I want that one.

If anyone has attempted this and has patterns/advice to share, I'm all ears!
I've found a couple hats on Ravelry that could do the trick with the right slight modifications. I'll find the links to the patterns I'm thinking of and post for you.

This is not SSSS related in any way, but I was wondering if there was anyone out there that might be able to translate this pattern from German to English?

Please? With sugar on top?

I think just 5 (it's hiding up in my closet right now so I'm not going to check). But they handle the wide variety of what I want to do well. Right now I just spin a little on drop spindle to feel like I haven't forgotten how to spin, but it takes much longer to feel like I'm getting anywhere.

So many nice handicraft works! You are amazing.

I couldn’t resist buying these two SSSS coloured yarns and trying to crochet the logo. It’s just a quick work, so the result is... a little rustic.
I was too lazy to cut the yarns and join them again when changing colours, but I’ll make a neater piece now, that I have the pattern.

Hey there WellAnFree!

Do you still need help with the translation of the pattern? (After all 9 days passed since your post.)

I wouldn't say I'm an expert or anything, but I'm native German, studied English, and I knit - so if the problem's not solved yet, I would give it a try this weekend.  :)

Squeee!

Yes, thank you, that would be lovely. :D  I've been finding the right yarn for this pattern, not focusing on the translation yet.  (There is no way the yarn used in that pattern is worsted weight.)

Thanks so much.

I'll try my best.  ;)

So first things first.
Here's for the yarn: We Germans don't have a standardised system for yarn weight (although by now some companys start to use the American System, because it's less ambiguous).

The yarn they used here should be: 3 [Worsted/10 ply]: 45% Wool, 40% Mohair, 15% Nylon (according to revelry)
Knitting needles would be 3.5mm and 4 mm [US 4 and 6?] and
a crochethook 3.5mm [US 4/ E?]

They suggest to try a gauge first:24 stitches and 24 rows (using the cable pattern I'll provide a little later and 4mm knitting needles) should provide you with (approximatly) 10x10 cm [about 4x4 inches].

My lokal shop and German amazon still sell this exact yarn, but I think the company's going for a new product line (they don't have it in stock in their own online shop).

In the pattern they provide two sizes: 36/38 (approximatly small) and 42/44 (approximatly medium to large), the data for the larger one is in (brackets). You'll Need about 150g [~5.3 oz] or (200g [~7oz]) of yarn.

I hope that's any help so far - I'll be back later with explanations on the pattern.

P.S. you're very welcome  :D

So here I go! ^^

I'm not 100% sure if I used the right technical terms... ^^'

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hvn1lad5tlovkzj/Kimono-jersey.pdf?dl=0

If there are any questions left feel free to ask (or if anything doesn't work - it's the first time I used dropbox).

Have fun and show me some pictures!  :D
