Once Again: It's Time for the Mairlynd Advent Calendar


The holiday season has returned to my hometown of Bonn: Christmas markets are open, the air is filled with the scent of roasted almonds and beeswax. Here—and in so many other places around the world—the Advent season is beginning. It's the perfect time to slow down, reflect on the past year, and, of course, make new knitting plans!


Advent is not just a season for peaceful moments with hot tea and gingerbread, but also for secrets and a touch of magic. The idea of mystery inspired the name of my latest design: Memory Code. Find out everything about your new, cozy knitting companion in today’s blog post.


And of course, you’ll also get all the details about this year’s Mairlynd Advent Calendar. I can hardly believe it myself—this is already the 10th edition! It’s my way of bringing you a little joy and saying: Thank you for your enthusiasm and support through all these years.

The Mairlynd Advent Calendar


The perfect opportunity to stock up on knitting projects for the new year or to treat someone special to a little joy.


There’s nothing quite like the excitement of anticipation. Thinking about Advent calendars always brings back childhood memories for me. But the countdown to the holidays isn’t just thrilling for kids—it’s just as exciting for us knitters.


Starting today, for the next 24 days, there will be a new pattern with a sweet little discount every single day! You’ll find some of my most-loved designs, as well as brand-new releases—and I can’t wait for you to discover them.


Let's get started today with the brand-new pattern for a super cozy and beautiful shawl: Memory Code. And in the next paragraph, you'll find out exactly how the Advent calendar works.

Here’s How It Works:

Use the code "celebrate" to get your Advent Calendar discount every day. Today, December 1st, you'll receive 15% off the Memory Code pattern on Ravelry. And with the same code, you can also enjoy 10% off the Memory Code knitting kit here on mairlynd.de, as well as on the entire color range of Pascuali's wonderful Sayama yarn, which you can also find in the shop.


So, whether you choose just the pattern (on Ravelry), the complete kit, or pick your favorite Sayama colors—simply enter the code at checkout, either here on mairlynd.de or on Ravelry.


But beware: Each pattern is discounted for one day only, so be sure to visit my Instagram channel daily to get your dose of knitting inspiration.



So Much Love for Texture!


I love playing with textures, and for my new design, I let my imagination run wild: Memory Code – a sophisticated knit/purl pattern that resembles a secret code.


The textured surface reflects the light, revealing new facets depending on your perspective.


The modern, geometric design is a real eye-catcher and impresses with its versatility. With its rhythmic pattern, it offers an exciting knitting experience from the first stitch to the bind-off.


Knitted from Sayama by Pascuali, a luxurious DK yarn made from a high-quality blend of wool and llama, Memory Code delights with its soft, warm drape. The texture is beautifully highlighted while the piece retains its shape – a cozy accessory for chilly days or a stylish statement for any look.

"The subtle pattern, reminiscent of secret codes, makes Memory Code a special companion. A design that invites dreaming and reminiscing." – Melanie Berg

Impressions from the Test Knit


The Mairlynd test knitters have truly outdone themselves again. Whether warm or cooler tones – each one has added their own unique touch to the shawl, turning the pattern into their very personal work of art. Here are a few of their enchanting versions of Memory Code.

Dear Nancy,

Thank you so much for your sweet message—it means the world to me to know you’ve been following along since the very beginning! It’s truly knitters like you who make this Advent calendar so special. I’m thrilled you’re enjoying it again this year. Merry Christmas to you, too! 🎄✨

As for the scent of beeswax at the Bonn markets, you’re absolutely right—it’s candles, lots and lots of them! There’s something so warm and nostalgic about that honeyed scent filling the air. It makes the markets feel extra magical, don’t you think?

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season filled with cozy knits and special moments!

Warmly,
Melanie

I’m pretty sure I’ve been following your Advent calendar from year #1. I look forward to each day and what pattern will be presented. Thank you and Merry Christmas. Curious as to the scent of Beeswax in your Bonn markets. I think candles….LOTS of candles!
