Patchwork – Another baby blanket

January 21, 2018 by nadel&gabel

Another newborn – another baby blanket. This time the idea I had in my mind was a clear, yet colourful blanket out of geometric shapes, patched together. So I went through my stash of fabrics, layed out different options, rearranged them again … until I was satisfied. I worked in blocks that I – step by step – put together. I also added some topstiching in corresponding colours. The patchworked front then was complemented with a light, but cuddly cotton […]

Autumn mode – Beloved Berlin cowl

October 22, 2017 by nadel&gabel

From year to year it has become clearer: this is my favourite season. I’m not the person for the extremes, more a temperate one. Autumn turns down the speed, not only nature is slowing down. This is the time for cocooning mode, for sipping tea, knitting all sunday long. And as Christmas is in sight there are a lot of knitting projects to be cast on. One already finished project is this Beloved Berlin cowl, designed by Isabell Kraemer. A subtle pattern […]

Lost in knitting – Lace shawl Whiteout

August 28, 2017 by nadel&gabel

The shawl designs of Melanie Berg aka Mairlynd caught my eye sometime at the beginning of the year. I hadn’t knitted for a while. Sewing just seemed to be more my needle craft: quicker, easier to adjust, more experience. Knitted socks were my entry into knitting again and I started to appreciate the advantages of this craft again, the flexibility, the relaxing pleasure to knit a few rows each evening. The patterns and yarns I discovered in this knitting community were thrilling. […]

Hidden colour schemes – Crocheted hot water bottle cover

October 3, 2014 by nadel&gabel

In the moment I loaded these pictures up I realized that all my recent posts are following the same colour scheme – mustard. Of course, it’s the colour of autumn, but I didn’t know how much I seam to be led by visual impressions. Hmm, perhaps I should start a new project: eating by colour 😉 Anyway, this post is not about food, but about my best friend around the cold season – my hot water bottle, that got a […]

Travel gear – Improved

May 11, 2013 by nadel&gabel

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go … to Nice for a few days. Actually it’s me together with a colleague and a bunch of students … hopefully no trouble but relaxed days for all of us. Of course there will be some pictures on the blog in a while. My preparation – except of listening to the old and the new album of Zaz trying to refresh the sad remains of the French I learned at school: […]

A new season and a new bag

February 15, 2013 by nadel&gabel

After a few weeks where I just couldn’t find time for sewing I finally turned the sewing machine on again. I had bought some new fabrics that I was keen to use, f.ex. this tote’s beautiful screen printed fabric from Premier Prints Shiba collection, that I bought with some other amazing fabrics at this little Etsy shop.

Perfect partners for cheese – Dulce de membrillo and quince mustard sauce

October 18, 2012 by nadel&gabel

Quince – until a few years or so, it would have been very likely that the only reaction to this name you would have earned from people was a question mark in their face, the same would have been probably the case when you would have shown them the actual fruit. “Is it a pear? An apple?” – No, quince, the fruit only some grandmothers would make jelly from. But those days are gone, nowadays quince – like other nearly […]
