Snug and warm – Knitted baby blanket

April 25, 2015 by nadel&gabel

And there it is, my best friends newborn girl. Of course this didn’t happen out of a sudden 😉 … so I had time to prepare. And I used long winter evenings to work on this knitted baby blanket.   For long I had admired those beautiful colourful blankets from The Purl Bee (find the crochet pattern here). Now I finally had the chance to knit one myself. It’s kind of the easiest knitting project you can imagine. It’s a […]

Pimp your bathroom – Tawashi scrubbies and washcloths

November 12, 2014 by nadel&gabel

Once started crocheting I couldn’t stop anymore. In the new little crocheting book, that I had bought lately, I came across so called (eco) tawashi. And although you might think “Oh yes, old hat!” … I hadn’t heard about this trend before. I wanted to know more and read myself through the internet and the world of cute crocheted cleaning scrubbies. Originally tawashi describes a brush/sponge to wash off dirt. As I learned, it became very popular over the last […]

Azulejo style – Handprinted napkins

November 29, 2013 by nadel&gabel

When I came across those beautiful handcrafted wooden stamps from Blockwallah (in Germany sold by Rayher) at one of my latest visits to my favourite craft shop, I just couldn’t pass. So many different patterns – and aren’t all of them just amazing? I really had a hard to decide which to take! After some first trials on paper (great handcrafted christmas wrapping paper!) I really wanted to use it on fabric and create this beautiful tiled look. Doesn’t the […]

To keep you warm – Crocheted house slippers

November 2, 2013 by nadel&gabel

Hadn’t it just been summer? And now the chilly days of winter are coming closer and closer. In some parts of southern Germany we already had snow a few weeks ago! Hey, what’s going on?! November has just begun and winter had finally given up this year as late as April! Is that what climate change will mean for us? But you’re adjusting … Now my wardrobe is shifted again: warm clothes in the front – T-Shirts in the back […]

My Eigenwerk – Felted mini coin purses

November 3, 2012 by nadel&gabel

Concerning felted accessoires I am a bit torn: They can be very stylish or cute, but then what I see often looks to me more frumpish and kitschy. So, for a long time I hesitated to do some felting myself. I stopped hesitating and finally gave it a start with a little project – a mini coin purse in grey and pink/purple. My intention was not to create a felted colour shock but to keep the colour reduced to little […]

Recycle – Small folded paper envelopes

October 9, 2012 by nadel&gabel

I’m a bit in a recycling/upcycling mood lately. However, this little project wasn’t really intended… I was just about to throw away another DIN B4 envelope when I saw the rising pile of waste paper and thought about how to reuse at least a bit of it…
