Sock’n’Roll – A bunch of hand knitted socks

January 28, 2018 by nadel&gabel

Socks enjoy the reputation to be the least creative gift. I don’t think they are, obviously 😉 Cause I gave a pair of hand knitted socks to my dearest friends for Christmas! And although Christmas is already more than a month ago now, I wanted to share them here on the blog. Winter isn’t over yet and warm feet are still in great demand! Of course we are not talking about a simple pack of regular store bought socks, but […]

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. […]

Jassa – Summer tote

March 16, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Ok, summer still is some months ahead, but spring is on its unstoppable way, trees are getting greener from day to day, blue crocuses, white spring snowflakes and snowdrops are sprouting and are heralding the new season (although they still carry ‘snow’ in their name). So, kind of naturally I feel torn again to colours. No better time for IKEA to launch their limited collection JASSA, a collection inspired of asian materials and techniques: rattan and bamboo furniture, colourful batik print […]

All black – Oilskin Explorer Tote

March 1, 2017 by nadel&gabel

When I saw Annas new pattern, the Explorer Tote, she – again – got me. I immediately could imagine the large version as a great weekender bag. I was thinking about sewing myself a new travel bag for a while. I was kind of fed up by the one I sewed about two years ago (similar to this one) which I use for smaller trips. It now felt just too much: too many colours and patterns, too floral. The new […]

The flow – Trail tote

January 29, 2017 by nadel&gabel

Panta rhei. Life is a flow. Most times it’s a steady flow, we’re floating in familiar waters. Perhaps you would prefer some more movement, a slight change of directions, but somehow it doesn’t happen. Are you even moving forward, is there any progress although you’re working for it? You can’t see it. But suddenly it’s there: It starts with a small swirl, you can sense some kind of acceleration … and suddenly things happen! Is ist just luck? Some kind of […]

One thing leads to another – Creative maker supply case

October 30, 2016 by nadel&gabel

The ones that follow me on instagram may have recognized that I’ve started a new longtime project: Handlettering. Although writing – mainly on chalkboard – is part of my daily routine, I’m definitely lacking a pretty handwriting. I had started a few rather piteous attempts in lettering, but this time, when I came across Frau HĂślle and her tutorials I decided to keep up with more honesty and endurance … and professional equipment! And what can I say? – Langsam nährt […]

Lioness – Toddler backpack

October 18, 2016 by nadel&gabel

It’s a saying: “Everyone is unique.” But that doesn’t mean that uniqueness always is accepted. Life isn’t always easy for them who don’t look “normal”, live or love other than the majority, the way things “should be”. Who are we to judge, to claim the truth, to demand assimilation?! Being obviously “different” with your red hair, protruding ears, small size, dark skin can feel like a burden, especially when you’re a kid and just want to be part of the game. Kids can be […]

That certain something – Petal pouches in japanese blue

September 8, 2016 by nadel&gabel

For me Anna von from Noodlehead is the goddess of pouches and bags! One reason perhaps is that I learned the basics of sewing mostly with her pictured tutorials. Thanks to her I can sew any kind of zipper … and I am still more familiar to English sewing terms than German ones 😉 It is also, because non (really NON) of her tutorials and patterns (free or for purchase) has led me down at any time. I would say they’re foolproof. […]
