Although
Tanja Osswald does have some patterns for knitting, she mostly works with crochet. But I have to admit that her fingerless mitt patterns really make me wish I knew how to crochet (I took a beginning crochet class once and tried it for a while but just never felt comfortable with it).
I mean, seriously, how awesome does
Wanderwellen look?

And I know that owl cables are used in knitting quite a bit, but look at these super cool crochet owl mitts:
Consider Owls!

But for those of you, like me, who don't crochet, Tanja does have one knitting pattern for some awesome mitts:
Mohnteilchen (which is a knitted version of the crochet version of
Himbeerwellen). It looks like there are some new things to learn to do this pattern, and I do see some project pages where knitters used two colors (which is what I really love about Tanja's designs), so perhaps at some point I'll attempt to make these myself.

I've focused on the mitts in this post because that's what really drew my attention, but Tanja does quite a few other types of accessories such as hats and shawls, so even if fingerless mitts aren't your thing, if you crochet, you should definitely check out the rest of her patterns. And if you don't crochet, maybe
Tanja's patterns will inspire you to learn!
