<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Die
zweite Staffel der „Great German Sewing Bee“, ach was, „Geschickt
eingefädelt“, ist angelaufen! Ich habe die Kinder früh zu Bett
gebracht und mir einen ganzen Fernsehabend reserviert. </span>
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Über
die letzte Staffel hatte ich viel Negatives gelesen, was ich so nicht
nachvollziehen konnte. Dass wir Deutschen weder so höflich noch so
diplomatisch noch so kritikfähig sind wie die Briten, ist aus meiner
Sicht eine Tatsache und kein Problem, macht aber natürlich eine
andere Atmosphäre im deutschen Fernsehen als wir es vielleicht von
GGSB gewohnt sind. Trotzdem gefällt mir die Sendung (bis auf die
knappe Hälfte der Sendezeit als Werbepause, mal ehrlich, VOX...??).</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Ein
paar interessante Typen sind immer dabei. Mit gefiel dieses Mal
besonders die Russin Tatjana, trotz (oder wegen) ihrer ungewöhnlichen
Art. Ich finde es zum einen immer toll, super routinierte
NäherInnen beobachten zu können, mich interessiert aber auch ihre
so ganz andere Ästhetik, die nicht in die üblichen Schemen
hausbacken – retro – modern passt.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Außerdem
oute ich mich als Inge-Fan! Inge Szoltysik-Sparrer hat mich schon in
der ersten Staffel mit ihren tollen Kleidern und ihrem scharfen Auge
beeindruckt. Einmal nähen können wie „Pingel-Inge“! … Bis
dahin muss ich mich darauf beschränken, von ihren Kritiken zu
lernen.</span></div>

<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Überhaupt
muss ich die Sendung schon aus Prinzip schauen... Dass Nähen im
privaten Reality-TV angekommen ist und damit auf einer Stufe steht
mit Kochen und Häuser renovieren oder was es sonst so gibt, muss
gefeiert werden, oder?</span></div>

<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">We
have a German sewing bee on TV! I for one am happy for this, and
reserved my entire Tuesday night for a (one woman) viewing party. In
the end, the show was one hour long AND there were so many commercial
breaks I'm not sure the program was more than half an hour
altogether.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Never

<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">(A few things I made this year.)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It's
definitely inspired by „The Great British Sewing Bee“ and last
year there was a lot of negative feedback online due to the
comparison. I think the differences to the British show are at least
partly cultural. Germans are more blunt and a lot less diplomatic
when giving or receiving criticism. The British are exceptionally
kind and corteous, and there was quite a bit more bitchiness and
competitieness on the German show.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">One
reason I'm rooting for this show is simply that it exists, that it
makes sewing as natural a part of private station reality TV as
cooking or house renovating shows.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Part
two is that sadly, I never figured out a good way to watch the Great
British Sewing Bee. Hey BBC, get on board with Youtube, will you?!</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Part
three is that I adore the resident sewing expert, Inge
Szoltysik-Sparrer. She owns a couture atelier, wears the most amazing
handmade dresses, and is rather blunt with her critique of the contest
garments – which is tough on the contestants I'm sure, but I learn
quite a lot watching and listening to her.</span></div>

you have a favorite DIY show? Is there such a thing as an American or
Australian sewing bee on TV? Do tell!</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mein Sohn ist
handarbeitsmäßig schwer benachteiligt, seit er lieber anzieht, was
die großen Bekleidungsketten so bieten (und ich mich weigere, genau
das nachzunähen – dann lieber kaufen). Deshalb habe ich mich
gefreut, als er sich ein genähtes Kostüm gewünscht hat, bzw. das
gewünschte Kostüm in seiner Größe nicht zu kaufen war. (Achtung
Marktlücke: Kinderkostüme gehen oft nur bis Gr. 146 oder so, für
Erwachsenenkostüme ist er noch zu klein und vor allem zu schmal.)</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ich habe diesen
herrlichen, stoff-fressenden Schnitt (5 m!) entdeckt (Burda 2483) und
ausnahmsweise nicht selbst konstruiert und zusammengetackert, wie ich
es mit Kostümen gerne mache. Als ich seinen wehenden Saum von ferne
sah, war ich sehr zufrieden über diese Entscheidung, der Schnitt
gibt wirklich ein ganz tolles Gandalf-Kostüm her!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Da ich normalerweise
nicht mit Einzelschnitten nähe, sondern aus Zeitschriften abpause
(runterladen, drucken und kleben stelle ich mir auch nervig vor),
hier mein Fazit: mehr Spaß als Abpausen macht das auch nicht.
Interessant war auch, die Infos wie Maße oder Schnittplan auf den
Bögen zusammenzusuchen!</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ich habe viel
geändert, mein Sohn ist knapp 160 cm groß und hat 16 cm weniger
Brustumfang als die kleinste Herrengröße. Ich habe alle Änderungen
gleich am Schnitt gemacht und je 4 cm vorne und hinten an jeder Seite
(also quasi in der Mitte der Teile) an Weite weggenommen,
Halsausschnitt und Schultern angeglichen, Ärmel und -loch nach
Augenmaß verschmälert. Für die Längenkürzung hatte der Schnitt
Markierungen, das ist natürlich toll (und bei diesem Schnitt ein
bisschen überflüssig... egal!). Die Passform ist super (und ich
dachte nachher, hätte ich das nicht so genau an seine Schultern
angepasst, hätte er es noch ein paar Jahre länger tragen
können...)!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Weil's so schön
war, habe ich die sichtbaren Nahtzugaben durch Rechtslinksnähte
(habe ich bei der deutschen Sewing Bee zum ersten Mal gehört, heißt
das wirklich so?) und mit Schrägband versäubert. Als Material habe
ich Baumwollleinen von Stoff & Stil, in „Stein“ glaube ich,
genommen. Das war die perfekte Schlammfarbe, auch wenn Gandalf im
Original einen etwas bläulicheren Ton trägt.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Beim Schnittmuster
ist auch ein Hut dabei. Der Schnitt sieht normale Einlage vor, und
dass man die Spitze evtl. mit Füllwatte ausstopft. Ich konnte mir
nicht vorstellen, dass das genug Stand gibt und habe einen Rest
Schabrackeneinlage genommen, den Hut komplett gefüttert, und die
Einlage auf das Futter gebügelt. So konnte auch die Futterspitze,
ohne die steife Einlage wenden zu müssen, einfach in den äußeren
Filzkegel geschoben und alles mit der Krempe verstürzt werden. Hat
super funktioniert!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Letzten Endes war
das Kostüm nicht die reine Freude, es regnete beim Zug, und Schirm
tragen und bücken nach Kamelle geht mit so einem Gerät auf dem Kopf
leider schlecht. In der Schule gab es aber Bewunderung für meinen
Gandalf, und mir hat das Kostümenähen Spaß gemacht!</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ich setze das mal in
Anführungszeichen, weil es natürlich „amerikanische Ureinwohner“
heißt, was dieses Kostüm aber gar nicht darstellen soll, sondern
ein ganz klischeemäßiges „Indianerspiel-Kostüm“. Genäht hatte
ich es auch nicht für Karneval, sondern schon für unsere
Ballettaufführung im Dezember, die unter dem Motto „Peter Pan“
stand, und in der Geschichte kommen eben auch (so genannte)
„Indianer“ vor.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ich hatte mir ein
paar Zeichnungen gemacht, wie das Kostüm sein sollte – länger als
ein Oberteil, aber so, dass man beim Tanz nicht darauf kniet (der
gezackte Saum war die Lösung), und ohne viele Verschlüsse für den
schnellen Kostümwechsel. Weil der offene Ausschnitt störte, habe
ich ein kleines Häkchen angenäht.</span></div>

versäubert, und dann Oberstoff und Zierstoff zusammen rund um den
Ausschnitt und Schlitz mit einem selbst gebastelten Beleg verstürzt.

(native) Indians in America, just Native Americans, that's what
they're called in Peter Pan, and in carnival it's such a stylized
costume that I'm not sure it has anything to do with the real Native
American clothes!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nähen für's Yoga von Elisabeth Schenk und Albina Buchter, erschienen 2014 im Christophorus Verlag, zu haben für 14,99 € (D).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nach Büchern zu nähen, ist eigentlich nicht meine Art. Noch weniger, wenn es um schlichte Schnitte geht, die vermaßt sind oder in irgendeiner Burda meiner Sammlung schlummern.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So kam es trotzdem dazu:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In den Sommerferien fing ich an, (zu Hause, nach DVD) ein wenig Yoga zu üben. Das gefiel mir so gut, dass ich es bis heute beibehalten habe. Diese Disziplin muss belohnt werden! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bis dato hatte ich auf einer alten Gummimatte meines Mannes, mit einer alten Krabbeldecke als Auflage und zusammengeschusterten Turnsachen geübt. Dann schaute ich mich im Netz um, was man/frau zu Yoga so trägt. Sagen wir mal so, je jünger desto weniger, und in meinem Alter eher so biodynamische Pumphosen zu fantastischen Preisen. Fantastische Preise müssen nicht sein, aber eine Pumphose wollte ich auch. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Kleiner Exkurs zu meiner Burda-Sammlung: </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Ich spotte ja gerne ein wenig, wenn wieder ein Independent-Schnittmusterhersteller etwas herausbringt, was Burda schon längst mal hatte (und ich bin inzwischen überzeugt, es gibt nichts, was Burda nicht schon mal hatte!). </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Aber: meine Burdasammlung, obwohl ich kaum noch Hefte kaufe, belastet mich. So viele Schnitte! Das muss alles archiviert werden! Und wenn ich ein Schnittmuster für eine Hose (Rock... usw...) suche, habe ich hundert Modelle zur Auswahl! Leider muss ich diese hundert Modelle auch alle sichten, vergleichen, und eine Auswahl treffen!... Dabei will ich eigentlich nur nähen.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Ich spiele daher ernsthaft mit dem Gedanken, meine Burdas alle abzugeben und mit dem jeweils aktuellen Ottobre-Heft (welches meinen Hang zu biederen Basics zu 80 % abdeckt), Einzel-Kaufschnitten nach Bedarf und ja, vielleicht auch mal einem Download mein Leben zu erleichtern (und meine Regale zu leeren). -</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So. Pumphose in meinen Heften suchen wollte ich also nicht. Ein Einzelschnitt von... KwikSew, glaube ich? - existiert, kostete aber ungefähr so viel wie dieses Buch. Das ein paar einfache Yogakleider, aber insbesondere viele Accessoires enthält. Das Meditationskissen interessierte mich auch, und vielleicht das Bodenkissen, das zwar keine Hexerei ist, aber ich fühlte mich <strike>faul</strike> geerdet und war froh, dass mal jemand anderes abgemessen und die richtige Reihenfolge bzgl. Reißverschluss erdacht hatte.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Herausgekommen sind ein Meditationskissen, ein Bodenkissen und die Yogahose. Ohne Schnitt auch noch eine neue Auflage für die Gummimatte.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Zur Füllung für das Meditationskissen wollte ich auch etwas erfahren, das Buch empfiehlt Dinkelspelz. Letztlich hatte ich aber noch einen halben großen Sack Styroporkügelchen (ursprünglich auch Stoff & Stil) übrig, deshalb habe ich diesen verwendet.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Das Bodenkissen ist mir ein bisschen größer geraten, weil es eben dieses Maß als Kissenfüllung/Schaumgummiblock bei Stoff & Stil zu kaufen gab. Die Kissenhüllen habe ich beide mit Stoffresten gedoppelt, da meine Stoffe nicht übermäßig stabil sind (mit dickem Dekostoff ist das vielleicht anders) und ich so hoffe, die Haltbarkeit zu verlängern.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Die Schnitte sind alle sehr einfach (Hose: ein Schnittteil) und an der kurzgefassten Nähanleitung kann ich nichts aussetzen. Auch Grundbegriffe und kurze Erklärungen sind enthalten. Ein ganz blutiger Anfänger findet mit Schlafbrille ("Augentrost"), Pulswärmer u.ä. gute Einsteigermodelle. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I started a small, at home Yoga practice just for me, and made a few accessories and a pair of Yoga pants from a book. I doubt that it is available in English, so I'll keep this short and sweet!</span></div>

zum Me-Made Mittwoch
stelle ich mein neuestes Projekt vor, das Titelkleid der BurdaStyle
9/2012. Ich kriege nicht die Kurve, meine Handarbeiten alle
vorzustellen, und so kann ich nur den Initatoren des <a href="http://memademittwoch.blogspot.de/" target="_blank">Me-MadeMittwochs </a>danken, die mich wenigstens ab und zu inspirieren, zu
bloggen und zu teilen!</div>

Mein Kleid ist nicht
aus Spitze, sondern einem sehr stretchigen Baumwollstoff, gefüttert
mit unstretchigem Viskosefutter.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Ich habe
zugeschnitten in 38-38-40 und musste oben noch ein bisschen wegnehmen
und unten die Nahtzugabe auslassen. So sitzt es gut und hat Luft und,
mit dem etwas kürzeren Saum (bei mir sonst meist kniebedeckt) –
ein bisschen 60s-Flair.</div>

Meine Änderungen:</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Ich habe die Ärmel
nicht gefüttert, so dass ich die Kante unter dem Arm mit dem Futter
verstürzen konnte, was mir besser gefällt als die Versäuberung mit
Schrägstreifen. Den Besatz habe ich weggelassen und bis zur
Ausschnittkante gefüttert. Den Reißverschluss habe ich von Hand
eingenäht, obwohl ich lieber mal Nahtreißverschlüsse üben sollte!

Well hi there! I

I made the cover
dress from BurdaStyle 9/2012, using a fabric I'd had in stash forever
(woven cotton with lots of stretch) and a rayon lining (no stretch).</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I used sizes 38 on
the bust and waist and 40 in the hips. I then took out a bit more on
top and especially the waist and used minimal seam allowance from the
hips down.

I didn't lengthen
the bodice this time, and the bust is sitting a bit high but still
o.k. I think. I straightened the shoulder seam for my square
shoulders and, for the first time ever, took out a small wedge in the
upper back from nape to shoulder blades, because my dresses often
gape a bit in the nape. This worked a charm!

The dress is a bit
shorter than I usually make which emphasizes the 60s silhouette and
looks quite nice I think. The only other adjustment I made is not
lining the sleeves which gave me the option to cleanly finish the
lower armhole without using a binding. I omitting the facings and
lined the neckline right to the edge. I also handpicked the zipper,
although I should really get comfortable sewing invisible zips one of
these days.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's
a lovely pattern, fun and fast to knit and not too hard (I only made
one mistake in the first hat and fixed that right away). I cast on
one pattern repeat less and it still came out a tiny bit wide (fine
for my big head though), so watch out for that if you knit one for

action, too, so I call it a success. For details you can also have a

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 100%;">I'd
originally bought the burgundy ponte fabric for last year's Christmas
dress that never came to pass. This year I didn't have time for
pattern copying and whatnot either, so I made a very rough rub-off of
a RTW long-sleeve (right onto the fabric), eyeballed a couple of
darts, roughly drafted a skirt from my measurements and yet another
RTW piece, eyeballed the neckline, added a facing and called it a
day.</span><br />
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This
was real stunt sewing, and the funny thing is it worked! It's not a
perfect dress by far, the bust darts are too high, the back darts are
strange and there's some puckering in the side seam, but I like it, I
wear it, so that's that.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<br /></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A
lovely and generous person who knows me well but doesn't know a thing
about sewing (and has no access to my pattern stash!) took himself to
a magazine shop, went through all the sewing magazines there and
decided to buy me an Ottobre subscription (all six issues! Ladies'
and childrens'! Yay!) because „it seemed to be the best pattern
magazine and most like your style“. Yup. Totally right. I think I
may like the back story even better than the gift itself which is
saying a lot, because I LOVE the gift!</span></div>

Liebe Freunde der

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
heute trage ich ein
Jerseykleid in herbstlichen Farben, genäht nach Plan (das kann nicht
lange gut gehen!), da ich feststellen musste, Jerseykleider sind das
perfekte Alltagsoutfit und ich brauche mehr davon!</div>

Ich habe diesen
Schnitt gewählt, weil ich mein Oberteil nach dem gleichen Schnitt
(<a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2012/03/i-still-sew-you-know-sie-naht-doch-noch.html" target="_blank">hier</a>) <span style="line-height: 100%;">oft und gerne trage

<span style="line-height: 100%;">Außerdem habe ich
die Seitennähte und Ärmelansatznähte mit durchsichtigem Gummiband verstärkt
(vor dem Zusammennähen auf die Nahtzugabe einer Seite genäht),
sonst wäre das Kleid wohl noch 10 cm länger. Die Schulternähte
ebenso, obwohl man da auch einfach einen Streifen nicht dehnbaren
Stoff mitfassen kann.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Ändern wollte ich
die Länge (es sollte kürzer werden), tatsächlich hat sich der
Stoff aber um genau die 5 cm wieder ausgehangen und mir gefällt die
Länge jetzt ganz gut.</div>

Genäht habe ich mit
meiner Wald- und Wiesenmaschine. Falls es jemanden interessiert,
welche Stiche ich benutze, um einen Jerseystoff ohne Overlock (aber mit spezieller Nadel - mit Kugelspitze) zu
nähen:</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 100%;">Die
Ausschnittnähte (mit Einlage verstärkt, bei diesem Schnitt muss der
Ausschnitt nicht dehnbar sein) und die Schulternähte (mit Gummi verstärkt) mit ungedehntem Geradstich.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 100%;">Die Seitennähte,
Ärmelansatz und die Taillennaht (alle mit Gummi verstärkt) mit
gedehntem Geradstich. Wenn der Stoff nicht so schwer wäre und ich
kein Gummi verwendet hätte, hätte ich hierfür einen Stretchstich
meiner Maschine benutzt.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 100%;">Für die
Teilungsnähte des Rocks habe ich einen solchen Stretchstich benutzt,
ich glaube aber, ungedehnter Geradstich wäre besser gewesen. Bei dem
wilden Muster und der Stofffülle fällt ein evtl. Überdehnen jetzt
aber nicht mehr auf.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
- Die Säume nähe
ich immer mit Dreifachzickzackstich. Ich finde es völlig o.k. oder
sogar ganz hübsch, ich muss keine Nadel wechseln und die Säume
überstehen schadlos jede Dehnung.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

Der Stoff war ein
Schnäppchen von Karstadt, Baumwolle/Elastan für 4 € den Meter.
Eigentlich hatte ich einen dunkelgrundigen Blumenstoff gesucht, der
hier ist ein bisschen wilder, aber die Farben passen genau in mein
Beuteschema.</div>

Und er passt perfekt
zu meinem Strickmantel, den mir meine Freundin letztes Jahr gemacht
hat. (Ich weiß. Auf dem Freundinnenmarkt habe ich das große Los
gezogen.) Ich hatte einen Mantel in diesem Muster (Birch Leaves) bei
<a href="http://allures-und-couture.blogspot.de/2012/10/me-made-mittwoch_23.html" target="_blank">Catherine </a>gesehen und war sofort verliebt. Jetzt habe ich auch einen.
Mein Schatzzzzz. Wenn ich damit aus dem Haus gehe, fühlt es sich an,
als hätte ich meine Sofadecke dabei!

I'm wearing the
first me-made garment I'd planned (!!!!) for fall. Knit dresses are
becoming my go-to outfit for every day. Wear them with a cardigan or
knit jacket and feel like you're in pajamas and bathrobe all day long
;-) !</div>

I chose this pattern
because I'm wearing the top I made (<a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2012/03/i-still-sew-you-know-sie-naht-doch-noch.html" target="_blank">here</a>) <span style="line-height: 100%;">which is essentially
the same pattern a lot. Also, the high neckline and moderately
swingy skirt are practical for my everday life.</span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 100%;">I swapped the sleeves for the ones from pattern no. 5
in the same magazine, shortened to bracelet length.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 100%;">I lengthened the
bodice by 1 '' and shortened the skirt by 3 ''. In the end, the
fabric was dragging itself down so much that I think I ended up at
the original pattern length. I like it, so I left it.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 100%;">Re: the heaviness of
the fabric, to stop the dragging and growing I added clear elastic to
the side seams, the armhole seams, the waist seam and, since I was at
it, the shoulder seams (normally I just use a strip of non-stretch
fabric).</span></li>

Der Schnitt ist der gleiche wie bei <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2009/07/brigitte-skirt-and-giveaway.html" target="_blank">diesem </a>Rock. Ich habe aber ein Futter (gleicher Schnitt ohne Taschen, einfach verstürzt) hinzugefügt und den Schlitz hinten als Falte genäht. Beim alten Rock ist das die Schwachstelle und schon mehrfach eingerissen, dies ist stabiler.<br />

I made the pattern <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2014/09/skirtrock-brigitte.html" target="_blank">once before</a>. This time I added a lining (same pattern as the skirt minus pockets) and changed the slit into a fold. The old slit had ripped almost straight away; this is better.<br />

Hello friends,<br />
<br />
my knitting journey continues so I thought I'd share a picture of my latest work-in-progress.<br />

<br />
<br />
It's <a href="http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/us/pattern.php?id=3271&lang=us" target="_blank">this </a>(free!) cardigan pattern by DROPS in <a href="http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/us/yarn.php?id=83" target="_blank">this green yarn </a>(Big Fabel), also by DROPS. You can follow my knitting adventures <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/booklook" target="_blank">on Ravelry </a>if you're so inclined.<br />
<br />
And, aren't I clever? I took the picture before I made the first big mistake in counting my pattern stitches. :-)<br />
<br />
Happy knitting (and sewing)!<br />

Hallo!<br />
<br />
Im Urlaub habe ich fast zwei Strickjacken fertig bekommen, die zeige ich bei Gelegenheit.<br />
<br />

<br />
Zum Herbst packt mich immer die Sehnsucht nach Folklore (Trachten sind hier nicht wirklich ein Thema). Deshalb habe ich mir <a href="http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/us/pattern.php?id=3271&lang=us" target="_blank">dieses Strickjackenmuster </a>von DROPS ausgesucht (das es glaube ich nur auf Englisch gibt? oder ich habe die Übersetzung nicht gefunden) und stricke mit <a href="http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/de/visgarn.php?garn=BigFabel" target="_blank">DROPS Big Fabel</a> in Grün.<br />
<br />
Besonders clever: mein Foto machte ich kurz vor meinem ersten dicken Fehler im Muster ;-) !<br />
<br />
Wenn Ihr mögt, könnt Ihr Euch auch meine Seite <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/booklook" target="_blank">auf Ravelry </a>anschauen.<br />

I got to fulfill my lifetime dream of
seeing the Bolshoi ballet. They performed „Le Corsaire“, a very
classical production with gorgeous costumes, beautiful orchestra
music and solo dancers that defied all laws of gravity and
physiology. The theatre building is almost blinding in its glamour
and I hope I fit in in my selfmade dress (also shown <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2009/12/holiday-sewing-and-happy-new-year.html" target="_blank">here</a>).

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I also saw the house in which Tolstoy
lived for about twenty years. It's a museum now and the most amazing
place to visit. The author's and his family's daily life are
perfectly documented in the rooms and objects exhibited – their
furniture, clothes, toys, tools, documents, photos and painted
pictures, musical instruments and... Lots of crafts!</div>

Ich stehe noch ganz unter dem Eindruck
eines wunderbaren Wochenendes in Moskau.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Meine Liebe zur russischen Kultur kann
ich auch auf einem Nähblog nicht ganz verbergen
(Matrjoschka-dekorierte Nähobjekte <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2009/08/bag.html" target="_blank">hier</a>, <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2009/07/matryoshka-girls-skirt.html" target="_blank">hier</a>, <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2011/02/me-made-curseder-fluch-plus-girls.html" target="_blank">hier </a>und <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2013/05/girls-matryoshka-skirtmatrjoschka.html" target="_blank">hier</a>,

<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Jetzt aber bot sich mir die
Gelegenheit, einen meiner ganz großen Träume wahr zu machen und das
Bolschoi-Ballett zu sehen!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Gegeben wurde eine ganz klassische
Inszenierung von „Le Corsaire“, dreieinhalb Stunden Ballett auf
höchstem Niveau, mit wunderbarer Orchesterbegleitung und
prachtvollen Kostümen.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Das renovierte Bolschoi-Theater
erstrahlt in unglaublichem Prunk und Pracht und ich hoffe, dass ich
in meinem selbstgenähten Kleid nicht allzu sehr aus dem Rahmen
gefallen bin.

Das Kleid habe ich schon <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2009/12/holiday-sewing-and-happy-new-year.html" target="_blank">hier</a> gezeigt. Aus gecrashtem Polyester-Taft war es das perfekte

Hallo liebe MMMler,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
heute wollte ich gar nicht mitmachen
beim Me-Me-Mittwoch, ich trug an Selbstgemachtem nur meine <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/search/label/Miette" target="_blank">Miette</a>
(wie eigentlich immer, eine geniale Idee, graue Wolle zu
verstricken!).
</div>

Dann aber ging es nach draußen und ich
warf wie eigentlich immer seit letztem Herbst meinen selbstgenähten
Regenmantel über... halt... da war doch was... selbstgenäht!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Also präsentiere ich, acht Monate nach
Vollendung, endlich meinen Regenmantel nach Ottobre 5/2012/19 (Winterjacke "Luxurious Flowers"). Die Bilder sind z.T. von heute und
z.T. vom letzten Jahr.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Der Mantel war echtes Bedarfsnähen,
ich hatte mir seit Jahren mit einem grottenhässlichen Regenteil vom
Lebensmitteldiscounter beholfen und als der Reißverschluss
kaputtging nahm ich das als Zeichen...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Die Materialien (beschichteter Nylon,
aufbügelbares Abdichtungstape, reflektierender Keder) bestellte ich
bei <a href="http://www.extremtextil.de/" target="_blank">extremtextil</a>. Das war meine zweite Bestellung dort und ich bin
sehr zufrieden. Es gibt zwar keine hübschen beschichteten
Designerstoffe (mit denen ich auch kurz geliebäugelt hatte, aber: zu
teuer und zu bunt für ein Basisteil), jedoch eine große Auswahl
Funktionsstoff und Zubehör zu vernünftigen Preisen. Zum
Reißverschluss muss ich anmerken, dass ich ein schicken Teil aus
antikisiertem Metall gewählt habe, was ein Fehler war. Metall ist zu
schwer für so einen Nylonmantel mit dünnem Baumwollfutter, ich
hätte Plastik nehmen sollen.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Zum Schnitt kann ich nur sagen:
Vorsicht vor der Kapuze. So lang und spitz dass Schneewittchens
Zwerge neidisch würden und der arglose Träger im aufgesetzten
Zustand nichts sieht. Vorne sind die Ende übereinander gekreuzt was
bei entsprechendem Stoff und Futter hübsch aussehen mag, aber auch
nicht wirklich praktisch ist. Trotzdem ich die Kapuze verkleinert
habe, ist sie dadurch so weit, dass sie Wind oder Radfahren nicht
stand hält. Hätte ich das gewusst, hätte ich eine elastische
Kordel eingenäht, jetzt glaube ich aber nicht, dass ich alles noch
mal aufmache. Vermutlich habe ich mir einfach ein blödes
Schnittmuster ausgesucht.</div>

Den Saum könnte ich noch mal
absteppen, bisher ist er nur mit dem Futter verstürzt. Abgesehen
davon finde ich den Mantel aber sehr hübsch und da ich meinen
Kleidern eine treue Seele bin werde ich ihn bestimmt 20 Jahre lang
tragen.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
A few years ago, it may have been after
the huge success that were my unexciting brown linen skirt and my
boring gray wool skirt, both of which I wore to death, I decided to
sew what's practical for me. (When I don't want practical I sew pink! and! colorful! for DD, highly recommended :-) )</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
That includes not sewing what I can but
have enough of, or where my fancy takes me, but filling the holes in
my closet.</div>

I did have a raincoat. Which was cheap,
ugly, unflattering. When the zip broke it was the last straw and I
decided to make another one. I researched pretty laminated cottons
(sigh) but couldn't justify spending that kind of money just on the
fabric. And who am I fooling, I'm much more of a solid-color person,
except maybe in summer when my love of patterned skirts runs wild.
And this is a raincoat.</div>

When making DD's raincoat (still
unblogged, what a shame) I ordered sealing tape, reflective tape and
other notions at <a href="http://www.extremtextil.de/" target="_blank">extremtextil</a> which I highly recommend. They have all
sorts of functional fabrics and materials for making outdoor/sports
clothing, backpacks, tents, what-have-you. At moderate prices.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So I ordered a waterproof, breathable
nylon in a pretty rust color, reflectice piping and seam sealing
tape. For the lining I used a dotted cotton in the front/back/hood
and slippery rayon lining in the sleeves. Sadly, I bought a regular
(metal) zipper which is really too heavy for this material and drags
a bit alough it's pretty. On DD's coat I used a heavy duty plastic
zip which was a much better idea.</div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The pattern is Ottobre 5/2012/19 (winter coat "Luxurious Flowers") which I
mainly used because I had a deadline (travel) coming up and wanted to
get going instead of searching my 101 pattern magazines. I'm not sure
the asymmetrical shape is so great, and I have to issue a warning:
the hood as is is huge. It hid half my face and had a longer tip that
snow white's dwarves. It was strange, unpractical and unflatterin.
Although Ottobre recommends this pattern „also“ for
outdoor/functional fabrics there was nothing functional about the
hood.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I redrafted it which is okay. It
doesn't fix the basic shape which means the end of the hood cross in
the front and fall apart when you open the coat which shows rather
more of the lining than I find pretty. Also, this construction makes
the hood a bit loose. When it rains and there's a wind or I'm riding
my bike the hood won't stay on. I should have added rivets and a
drawstring (like in DD's raincoat – this makes me realize what a
well-thought out pattern THAT was – also Ottobre, by the way).</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Last of all, I should have added a seam
at the hem instead of just bagging the lining. It balloons a bit. I
may go back and fix that; I doubt I'll fix any of my other
complaints.</div>

All that said, I love my raincoat! It's

plan on wearing this for 20 years at least!</div>

Me-Made-Mittwoch schon wieder
ungeschminkt (ist das jetzt schlimm oder gut, dass mir das egal ist?)
und in der immer noch nicht gespannten <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/peggy-sue" target="_blank">Peggy Sue</a>. Die heute gut ist,

Ich habe Größe „S“ gestrickt und
finde sie, vor allem oberhalb des Bündchens, zu weit. Das Garn ist
auch ziemlich mollig (Schurwolle, „Karisma“ von DROPS). Ich
musste einmal Garn nachbestellen, und so fühlt sich mein Jäckchen
jetzt auch an: ziemlich schwer, dick, weit. Ob ich so ein warmes
Schaf über ein Sommerkleid ziehen werde, bezweifle ich!</div>

Ich muss auf jeden Fall noch dazu
lernen, was die Größenwahl angeht. Die kurzen Ärmel
machen die Jacke auch nicht richtig nutzbar für die kalte Jahreszeit
(hätte ich längere gewollt, hätte ich noch einmal Wolle
nachbestellen müssen). Vielleicht motze ich auch nur, weil ich mich
erst an das neue Teil gewöhnen muss – das geht mir oft so. <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/search/label/Miette" target="_blank">Meine Miette</a> lag erst ein paar Wochen ungeliebt im Schrank, und zur Zeit

I'm a bit disillusioned with my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/peggy-sue" target="_blank">PeggySue</a> (still unblocked, ahem!) at the moment. It's too wide for my
taste, above the waist at least (am I dreaming or are a lot of
knitting patterns designed for the well-endowed lady?). I had to
order more yarn which should have given me pause, because I made it
from pure wool and now it's like a big, warm wool blanket! Which has
its place but not necessarily in spring, and I doubt I will wear this
over a light summer dress.</div>

Then again, the short sleeves (and
short sleeves it was or I'd have had to order more yarn yet again!)
don't make this very practical in the cold either. Today I layered it
over<a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2013/11/womens-shirtdamenshirt-ottobre-woman.html" target="_blank"> this longsleeve</a>; not sure if it's a great look. Although this is

weit war ich auch vor Ostern, war aber zum Finale in Urlaub. Wir
sehen uns zum Finale der Herzen! (Und: sieht meine neue Püppi nicht

Das
Kleid habe ich aus einem Meter Baumwolljersey zusammengeschustert, als mir
aufging, dass meiner Garderobe dringend Jerseykleider fehlen. Als
Schnitt habe ich wieder das alte T-Shirt abgenommen (wie <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2014/02/mmmtop-knipmode-special-ss-10101.html" target="_blank">hier</a>, das
Teil trage ich trotz seltsamer Bauchnaht ständig!). Hüfte
vermessen, die nötige Weite zugegeben und, soweit der Stoff es hergab, verlängert. Da das für mich echt kurz ist, habe ich mir den Saum
gespart! Die Ärmel musste ich auch anschneiden, trotzdem gefällt es
mir gut, und ich hatte quasi überhaupt keinen Verschnitt!</div>

Speaking of anything-alongs/group
efforts, ahem, I missed the Spring Cardigan Knit-Along deadline.
Actually my cardi was done, except for buttons, dangling threads and
blocking. Oh, and I have found the post to answer all the questions
there ever were on blocking, <a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/2014/03/blocking-a-little-sweater/" target="_blank">here</a> on Yarn Harlot. If you're clueless
like me, go read it! Now I understand!</div>

But! We have a new roommate who is

buttons (Dutch fabric market!). Also presenting a fabric draped on
her and looking so good that I who never wasted a thought on maxi
skirts now might need a maxi. Go figure.</div>

And! Me-Made-Wednesday. I made this
dress from a scant meter of cotton knit material a few weeks ago. I
had thought a bit about what my wardrobe needs (must be in the air
with all the wardrobing posts going round?) and the answer was: more
knit dresses. So there. I used the rubbed-off-t-shirt-pattern (like
<a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2014/02/mmmtop-knipmode-special-ss-10101.html" target="_blank">here</a>, and I wear that shirt all the time!), cut on the sleeves for
lack of material, left off the bottom hem for the same reason,
measured my hip width and added as much width as needed in as much
length as I had fabric. Ta-daa! Dress!</div>

<br />
Yesterday, I took 45 minutes (I timed myself) to fix a tee shirt DD would never wear, although she loves white tees, the print is cute and it's a gift from a favorite aunt.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvAOrSx18yr1rVNQ3cpJtD_4zq22KVKlZq7UaNgmV72WNDKGBiZjiKOKD2kJUUlM8JcJm6wnl8c0CFesiI0InrFmdZ1gwk8qTrxYROWxXC1Z4pl5tIIRkow_UCeMNSuZNca1hta1285ZI/s1600/14.03.14+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvAOrSx18yr1rVNQ3cpJtD_4zq22KVKlZq7UaNgmV72WNDKGBiZjiKOKD2kJUUlM8JcJm6wnl8c0CFesiI0InrFmdZ1gwk8qTrxYROWxXC1Z4pl5tIIRkow_UCeMNSuZNca1hta1285ZI/s1600/14.03.14+001.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Offending tee's on the left)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Why wouldn't she wear it? Well, the shape of the tee's settled firmly in the 80s of the last century. A tight neckband and a boxy cut. Although slouchy tees are making a comeback, they don't look like this, and on DD's very slim form it looks like she's wearing a sack. Not cute.<br />
<br />
I did something like this <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2012/10/mmir-t-shirt-refashion.html" target="_blank">before </a>when I recut an old t-shirt of mine for DD. This time, though, I took a few pictures to document the process. Just in case someone other than all you pro sewers happens along ;-) !<br />

<br />
Put a well fitting tee (here: one that still fits but only just) on top of the souvenir tee. Mark (or eyeball) the overlap on the sides and armhole. Don't cut off all the overlap; you need seam allowances for putting it back together!<br />

<br />
Cut off the neck binding. Re-cut the sleeves (I left the sleeve hem intact).<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
If you're lucky like me you get enough scraps from the cut-offs that you can make a neck binding from it. Otherwise, I'd just turn under the neck.<br />

I know there's a lot of miracle machines and techniques out there for knits. I just use a regular old sewing machine and whatever stitch takes my fancy. Since the fabric isn't very stretchy I didn't use a stretch stitch (which takes forever to sew) but a regular zigzag stitch, legth and width 2. I read you're supposed to use a longer length and smaller width but for me, that just leads to popped stitches.<br />

Es handelt sich um ein Souvenir-Shirt des Töchterleins. Wieso diese Art T-Shirt nicht mehr gern getragen wird muss ich wohl nicht erklären, oder? Ich kann aber berichten, dass meine Tochter die überarbeitete Version gestern gleich angezogen hat. Ein voller Erfolg!<br />
<br />
So habe ich es gemacht, in einer 3/4 Stunde:<br />

Ein einigermaßen passendes Shirt (hier: schon ein bisschen knapp) auf das Souvenir-Shirt legen.<br />

Anzeichnen (oder merken), wie viel an den Seiten und Armausschnitten übersteht und abschneiden. Achtung: etwas Nahzugabe stehen lassen für's Zusammennähen!<br />

<br />
Das Halsbündchen abschneiden. Wenn man Glück hat wie ich bleibt von den abgeschnittenen Seiten so viel übrig, dass man daraus eine neue Einfassung basteln kann. Ansonsten: Nahtzugabe nach innen wenden und Halsausschnitt einfach säumen.<br />

Die Ärmel neu zuschneiden nach dem Muster-Shirt. Ich habe den Ärmelsaum gelassen und von oben neu geschnitten. Ärmel- und Seitennähte schließen. Unten säumen. Fertig!<br />

Ich benutze ja keine Overlock, Coverlock oder was es noch gibt. Shirtstoff vernähe ich je nach Stretchigkeit mit einem Stretchstich (bei sehr dehnbaren Stoffen) oder Zickzackstich meiner regulären Maschine. Hier habe ich Zickzack mit 2er Länge und -Breite genommen. Mit längerem Zickzackstich habe ich kein Glück, die reißen mir immer. Ob das dann aussieht wie gekauft ist mir ehrlich gesagt piepegal; wer sich anderer Leute Säume so genau betrachtet hat ganz andere Probleme ;-) !<br />

Ich bin beim unteren Bündchen meiner <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/peggy-sue" target="_blank">Peggy Sue</a>, bei der
achten von insgesamt 11 Zopfmuster-Wiederholungen (uff).
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Nicht so sicher bin ich mir gerade, ob
ich noch einmal ein Zopfmuster stricke, jedenfalls so eins, das die
Maschen mehrfach verdreht, mir relativ feinem Garn. Vielleicht mal
eine schöne dicke irische Strickjacke?</div>

Meine Hände sind von der Kleinarbeit
etwas strapaziert/verkrampft und ich habe festgestellt, nachdem ich
abends einmal zu weit von der Sofaecken-Lichtquelle weggesessen habe,
dass sich ein paar Fehler eingeschlichen haben und mir schlicht die
Traute fehlte, das Ganze aufzuribbeln (wer weiß, ob ich die Maschen
noch mal aufgehalten bekomme?).

Von anderen habe ich gehört/gelesen,
dass sie parallel immer ein schwieriges und ein einfaches Projekt
vorhalten, je nach Stricksituation. Vielleicht ist das die Lösung.
Oder vielleicht ist das der Anfang vom Ende? Bisher habe ich meine
Strick-/Garn-/Projektdisziplin noch knapp im Auge (Garn nur für die
nächsten zwei Prjekte im Haus, für das nächste Projekt Muster
gestrickt aber nicht angefangen), was man von meinen Nähprojekten
(ca. 5 gleichzeitig in Arbeit, manche davon seit Jahren) und
Stoffbergen nicht behaupten kann.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Außerdem soll das Stricken ja spannend
bleiben. Eigentlich wollte ich demnächst mal mehrfarbig probieren.
Übernehme ich mich? Oder brauche ich nur besseres Licht? Wie haltet
Ihr es mit der Zahl und Schwierigkeit Eurer Strickprojekte?</div>

I'm about 4/5ths through with my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/peggy-sue" target="_blank">PeggySue</a>, and although I'm loving the look of the tiny cables I'm not
loving knitting them. My hands cramp and I'm wishing for a nice fat
Aran cable, twisted just once, instead of having to switch stitches
three times within a single, DK weight, cable twist.</div>

I also made a couple of mistakes when
knitting in suboptimal lighting, and I'm too chicken to frog it. It's
fine, just not relaxing, and I'm wondering whether I should start an
easier project to switch to when knitting conditions are less than
perfect.

<br />
Schon wieder <a href="http://memademittwoch.blogspot.de/" target="_blank">MMM</a>, ein guter Grund zu bloggen und meine fertige Miette sowie ein neues Shirt zu tragen.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Ich war faul und habe das Top nach einem alten, bereits kopierten Schnitt genäht. <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2010/05/me-made-may-days-8-9-and-top-knipmode.html" target="_blank">Das alte Top</a> trage ich immer noch oft und gerne.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Ich hatte den Schnitt ein zweites Mal aus etwas labberigerem Jersey (ohne Lycra vermute ich) genäht, und das ist nicht mein Favorit geworden.<br />
<br />

<br />
Heute habe ich (zwischen ersten und zweiten Fotos!) endlich die Knöpfe an meine <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2014/02/fjka-2-miette.html" target="_blank">Miette </a>genäht und fühle mich sehr wohl darin.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Auch in letzter Zeit genäht, ohne Schnitt bzw. abgenommen von einem Kaufshirt und brutal gestückelt ist dieses hier:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf-MyKBG4eIh-75vSaH6SUNZ8wYuwuuyYhgC1OvFzo5liyz6znij-DgXzkkP6m8XCWfHBbw30j67Xjv4eEC_duGEtCPt0oTpo6fS4NXD9D_xAbMK6wMoy77_mzgzgLNRmd7sBA5HKvXuM/s1600/2014-02-26+14.021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf-MyKBG4eIh-75vSaH6SUNZ8wYuwuuyYhgC1OvFzo5liyz6znij-DgXzkkP6m8XCWfHBbw30j67Xjv4eEC_duGEtCPt0oTpo6fS4NXD9D_xAbMK6wMoy77_mzgzgLNRmd7sBA5HKvXuM/s1600/2014-02-26+14.021.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Nicht so geeignet für geizig gekaufte 0,5 m, ganz im Gegenteil zu dem Kniptop, das wegen der separaten Passe bei einem halben Meter Stoff eine gute Hüftlänge hat!.<br />
<br />
Der Rock ist auch ein alter Favorit, <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2012/07/skirtrock-burda-122009-123.html" target="_blank">hier </a>besprochen.<br />

It's <a href="http://memademittwoch.blogspot.de/" target="_blank">Me-Made Wednesday</a> again, and I'm me-made all over!<br />

<br />
<br />
I made a new top from an old pattern. <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2010/05/me-made-may-days-8-9-and-top-knipmode.html" target="_blank">The original top</a> is still going strong after almost three years! (I also made this once in a not-so-stable knit and don't love that one.)<br />

<br />
<br />
I also finished my <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2014/02/fjka-2-miette.html" target="_blank">Miette </a>and even added buttons... after the first photos were taken ;-) !<br />

<br />
<br />
And you might recognize<a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2012/07/skirtrock-burda-122009-123.html" target="_blank"> the skirt</a> - it's an old favorite that still gets worn a lot.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCP96DRk7npEGs_KRpVoSlmIHfQ_y93GtvXM3GV8IM8miiYymIVijr3nmuDdOUk60kwKIVYn5q1xU_JuNWrkCo0ttn0VxjIZX-qoBO78mo6RXlTJGB5YghmdmbrH5h7wDYC8oH9DEpTjY/s1600/2014-02-26+14.023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCP96DRk7npEGs_KRpVoSlmIHfQ_y93GtvXM3GV8IM8miiYymIVijr3nmuDdOUk60kwKIVYn5q1xU_JuNWrkCo0ttn0VxjIZX-qoBO78mo6RXlTJGB5YghmdmbrH5h7wDYC8oH9DEpTjY/s1600/2014-02-26+14.023.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Lastly, I made a second shirt - a rub-off from an existing one. Patched together since I only had a scant half meter of fabric.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf-MyKBG4eIh-75vSaH6SUNZ8wYuwuuyYhgC1OvFzo5liyz6znij-DgXzkkP6m8XCWfHBbw30j67Xjv4eEC_duGEtCPt0oTpo6fS4NXD9D_xAbMK6wMoy77_mzgzgLNRmd7sBA5HKvXuM/s1600/2014-02-26+14.021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf-MyKBG4eIh-75vSaH6SUNZ8wYuwuuyYhgC1OvFzo5liyz6znij-DgXzkkP6m8XCWfHBbw30j67Xjv4eEC_duGEtCPt0oTpo6fS4NXD9D_xAbMK6wMoy77_mzgzgLNRmd7sBA5HKvXuM/s1600/2014-02-26+14.021.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Half a meter is, interestingly, enough for the Knipmode top in a generous length since that has a separate yoke piece.<br />
<br />

Ihr Lieben,<br />
<br />
der Frühling muss mich beflügeln, den Fluch gebrochen haben, was weiß ich... jedenfalls habe ich meine Miette beendet (bis auf Fäden einziehen und Knöpfe, lasst uns nicht kleinlich sein), die Maschenprobe erledigt und meine Peggy Sue alias Frühlingsjäckchen angestrickt.<br />

<br />
A propos Maschenprobe, ich habe bei den letzten Projekten ein bisschen mit meiner Fadenspannung (sagt man das?) experimentiert. Meine natürliche Strickweise ist eher fest und ich habe herausgefunden, dass mir das Maschenbild dann besser gefällt als wenn ich künstlich bemüht locker stricke. Bei Peggy Sue in Karisma kommt meine Maschenprobe mit der angegebenen Nadelstärke glücklicherweise genau hin.<br />

2. Die Zopfnadel hat mich stante pedes wahnsinnig gemacht. Hätte ich mir sparen können, ohne geht (für mich) besser.<br />

I've broken the curse, or maybe inhaled too much heady spring air, anyway, I almost finished my Miette (only pesky thread tails and buttons left) and started my knit-along project, Peggy Sue in Drops Karisma.<br />

I've experimented with gauge a bit and found that I like the look of my natural, quite tight gauge best. Luckily in this case my gauge is just right for the project according to the pattern.<br />
<br />

<br />
The cardi is started at the neck with a tiny little cabled ribbing. My first cable! Surprise! It's not half as hard as it looks! Also, I cast aside the cable needle a few stitches in. I found it terribly clumsy and slow and can knit the cable pattern just fine with shifting the stitches on my regular needles.<br />

<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRZKlVWKHkWb2o6PP1GkRxKeEtV-lxU3xWUnP-b2nORnPo8n0qWPW0StLpQL8RzQlhH7GJg9aKES6syvSexkIud22fZdIhnUxZx850LzMf6v8iyLUW6HUIlIrOdysiIjsm5rhi-g2kZNEo/s320/Fr%25C3%25BChlingsj%25C3%25A4ckchenKnitAlong_V1.jpg" height="320" width="270" /><br />
<br />
So. Habe ich endlich einen Preis für den längsten Titel gewonnen? *grins*<br />
<br />
Gruppenprojekten war auf diesem Blog bisher kein Glück beschieden. Egal ob fremdbestimmt oder selbstausgedacht, zu Weihnachten oder zwecks Trenchcoat, fertig geworden bin ich nur ein Mal (und das noch geschummelt mit Fremdnähen, wo solches nicht vorgesehen war) - der Rest versandete zwischen Absichtserklärung und Alltag.<br />
<br />
Nun kommt ganz frech und frühlingshaft ein knit-along des Weges, auf dem ich sowieso schon war. Kann das noch schief gehen? (Sagt es mir lieber gleich, denn ich hätte wirklich gerne mein Frühlingsjäckchen!)<br />
<br />
Seit Beginn meiner Verwandlung zur Strickerin habe ich einen Pullover, einen Loop und ca. 3/4 einer Strickjacke (Miet<u>te)</u> fertig gestrickt. Da ich zwischen vorletztem und letztem Projekt auf Wolle warten musste und echte Entzugserscheinungen hatte, steht mein nächstes Projekt schon eine Weile fest und heute klingelte der Postbote mit der Wolle. Es wird:<br />
<br />
Das Jäckchen <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/peggy-sue" target="_blank">"Peggy Sue"</a> in Drops Karisma grünmeliert.<br />
<br />
Einen Bildungsauftrag hat das Ganze auch, denn mit<a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2014/01/flax-sweaterpullover.html" target="_blank"> Flax</a> hatte ich gelernt, nach (englischer) Anleitung zu stricken, die <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/miette" target="_blank">Miette</a> bietet erstmals ein Lochmuster, und Peggy Sue hat ganz allerliebste Zopfrippchen.<br />
<br />
Dass ich heute vom <a href="http://memademittwoch.blogspot.de/2014/02/fruhlingsjackchen-knit-along-2014.html" target="_blank">Frühlingsjäckchen Knit-Along</a> alias FJKA gelesen habe, kann kein Zufall sein, oder? Also ganz mutig, Uta, du wirst den Fluch brechen und... am FJKA teilnehmen.<br />
<br />
Wünscht mir ganz viel Glück!<br />

<br />
The German blogosphere is hosting a <a href="http://memademittwoch.blogspot.de/2014/02/fruhlingsjackchen-knit-along-2014.html" target="_blank">spring cardigan knit-along</a>. Sounds like a great idea, doesn't it, except my past projects were doomed from the moment I piped "I'm in!" at any kind of team effort.<br />
<br />
Tell me this time will be different, pretty please, because this time I came up with the plan and the pattern and had the whole project queued before I learned of the knit-along. I'm making <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/peggy-sue" target="_blank">"Peggy Sue"</a> in Drops Karisma yarn in green (quite blue-ish, actually).<br />
<br />
My hope is this will help me along on my journey to become a more knowledgeable knitter. With the <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2014/01/flax-sweaterpullover.html" target="_blank">Flax sweater</a> I learned to follow a pattern, Miette has a lacy eyelet pattern and Peggy Sue will teach me to knit cables.<br />
<br />
I seem to be a more disciplined knitter than sewer (so far) - since starting my journey to become a knitter I made a sweater, a loop and 3/4s of a Miette cardigan. I have no yarn stash and I have finished my projects before starting the next one. Is there hope for me?<br />
<br />
Keep your finger crossed and happy sewing/knitting!<br />

<br />
ich schau in den Spiegel und stelle fest: es ist Mittwoch UND ich trage Selbstgenähtes, was nach Murphy's Gesetz kaum je vorkommt. Deshalb bin ich beim MMM dabei, wobei meine genähte Bluse ein echter Oldie ist (originaler Post <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2011/06/blousebluse-burda-5-2009-115.html" target="_blank">hier</a>).<br />

Etwas Neues gibt es aber; ich habe zwar meinen Pullover immer noch nicht gespannt, aber das nächste Teil fertig, einen supersimplen Loopschal nach dem Muster GAPtastic Cowl (<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gap-tastic-cowl" target="_blank">Ravelry link</a>) in Drops Eskimo, 300 g gestrickt.<br />

Das sollte eigentlich das ultimative DVD-Schau-Relax-Strick-Projekt werden, jedoch haben mir die Nadeln einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht. Angegeben war Stärke 9, wegen meiner engen Strickweise habe ich 10 genommen. Wie kann man mit solchen Baumstämmen nur stricken? Oder sind meine Hände zu klein?<br />

It's Me-Made-Wednesday in Germany, and I'm wearing an oldie-but-goodie, the blouse I posted <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2011/06/blousebluse-burda-5-2009-115.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

I found knitting with thick needles very uncomfortable, frustrating because this was meant to be an automated-knitting, relaxing project!<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ich habe das Jahr mit meinem ersten
fertigen Pullover eingeläutet. Eigentlich wollte ich ja
Zwischenberichte geben, aber das Strickmuster („<a href="http://www.tincanknits.com/pattern-SC-flax.html" target="_blank">Flax</a>“ von
tincanknits) ging so glatt und enspannt von der Hand, dass mir nicht
Berichtenswertes eingefallen wäre. An dieser Stelle mein Dank an die
Macher vom Stricknetz. Dort gibt es eine <a href="http://www.stricknetz.net/sonstiges/englisch/" target="_blank">Übersetzungstabelle</a>, die
mir besonders was Garnstärken angeht (die im Englischen nicht mit
Nummern, sondern mit Begriffen umschrieben werden), ungemein geholfen
hat. Auch andere Strickbegriffe sind <a href="http://www.stricknetz.net/sonstiges/englisch/" target="_blank">dort </a>übersetzt, wenn man des
Englischen nicht so mächtig ist.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Zurück zum Pullover: Am liebsten würde
ich ihn sofort anziehen, will ihn aber „ordentlich“ fertig
machen, auch um den Lerneffekts willen. Vorgesehen sind noch diese
Schritte:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Die kleinen Löcher unter den Armen, wo
ich Maschen aufgenommen habe, zusammennähen (wie? irgendwie?).</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Die Fadenenden vernähen (beim
Knäuelwechsel hatte ich keine Fadenenden, da ich alten und neuen
Faden verzwirbelt habe). Folgt man dabei den Maschen? Wie das? Fragen
über Fragen.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Und schließlich: spannen. Meine Mutter
und Großmutter, die unzählige Pullover gestrickt haben, haben nie
etwas gespannt. Ich sehe aber besonders bei diesem Pulli ein paar
Vorteile:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Das Rumpfteil ist mir ein bisschen kurz
geraten. (Weil ich befürchtete, zu wenig Wolle zu haben. Jetzt ist
ein Knäuel übrig. Typisch.) Die Ärmel habe ich lockerer gestrickt,
um mit meiner – von Natur aus eher festen –
Strickweise/Fadenspannung zu experimentieren. Außerdem sind sie
etwas beulig; ich weiß nicht, ob das an der Spannung, den Abnahmen
oder dem Kraus-Rechts-Streifen liegt. Alles das hoffe ich mit Spannen
ausgleichen zu können.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I started the year with a small
personal triumph, my first „finished“ sweater. „Finished“
because I still have to close up some little holes, weave in the ends
and block it.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I realize I haven't posted much
progress here although I'd intended differently. In all honesty there
wasn't much to write about. The pattern („<a href="http://www.tincanknits.com/pattern-SC-flax.html" target="_blank">Flax</a>“ by tincanknits)
is beautifully written and completely understandable, even for a non-native speaker and hardly-ever knitter like me!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I would have put it on right away, but
I mean not to carry over my slapdash tendencies into knitting :-) !
I'll have to read up how to close the little mystery holes where I
picked up stitches in the armpit. Or do I just sew them together
every-which-way?

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then, weaving in the tails. Do I follow
the knit stitches in doing this? How?

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finally, blocking. My mom and grandma
who between them knitted more sweaters than I can count never blocked
a thing. On the other hand I made the torso a bit short (I was afraid
wouldn't have enough yarn – now I have over a ball left, sigh...)
and may be able to remedy this a bit by blocking. In the picture you
also see that I experimented with my gauge a bit; I found that I knit
quite tightly and tried to change this when making the sleeves. I'll
try to balance this a bit through blocking. The sleeves are also a
bit lumpy; not sure whether this has to do with my gauge experiment
or the decreases – or even the garter stitch panel? I'll try to
make this smoother by blocking.</span></div>

To all of you who celebrate, I wish you a blessed Christmas season. Happy holidays and lots of sewing time to all!<br />

************************<br />
<br />
Ich habe mich aus dem Weihnachtskleid-Sewalong ausgeklinkt, um die Festtage bei geistiger Gesundheit zu erreichen, was mir auch gelungen ist ;-) . Sehr entspannend fand ich das Stricken, weshalb mein Pullover auch schon sehr weit ist.<br />
<br />
Ich bedanke mich bei allen, die mitgelesen haben. Nähen und Bloggen machen mir immer noch Spaß, aber ich muss den Tatsachen ins Auge sehen, mit mir und dem Gemeinschaftsnähen wird das nichts mehr :-) Trotzdem habe ich Eure Blogs mit Bewunderung verfolgt und wünsche Euch heute einen großen Auftritt in Euren neuen Kleidern!<br />

ich darauf gekommen bin? </span></h3>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Ein
paar Argumente liefert <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2013/11/kleider-kaufenbuying-clothes.html" target="_blank">mein letzter Post zum Thema</a>. Von der
Bekleidungsindustrie unabhängig zu sein hat diverse Vorteile. </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Man
trifft den eigenen Geschmack (Design) und erfüllt eigene
Qualitätsansprüche (Material, Verarbeitung). </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Nicht
sicher bin ich mir, ob die (nicht) ausgebeuteten Arbeiter in
ausländischen Textilfabriken etwas davon haben, wenn ich selbst
stricke/nähe, wie auf Selbermacherblogs oft gesagt wird. Dort würde
ethische Produktion mehr bringen als keine Produktion. Wenn aber
durch weniger Shopping Mittel frei werden, kann man die in ethisch
hergestelltes Material investieren. </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Was
mich zum nächsten Aspekt bringt: ich nenne das mal den „langsamen
Konsum“. Wer Kleidung selbst herstellt, produziert automatisch
weniger Stücke, schätzt diese mehr, behält sie länger und
behandelt sie pfleglicher als Kaufkleidung – jedenfalls geht es mir

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Ganz
konkret bin ich aber auf das Stricken verfallen, weil ich mich abends
oft nicht mehr zum Nähen aufraffen kann. Trotzdem möchte ich nicht
nur fernsehen oder im Internet surfen, sondern etwas Produktives,
Schönes, Handarbeit machen. Inzwischen ist mir aufgegangen (die
reichhaltige Erfahrung meiner drei Stricktage!), wie viele
Gelegenheiten es gibt, in denen man noch eine Reihe Stricken
dazwischen schieben kann – im Wartezimmer, während die Kinder beim
Sport sind...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Why
knit? </span></h3>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Well, you've read <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2013/11/kleider-kaufenbuying-clothes.html" target="_blank">my recent reflections</a>. The arguments pro
knitting are pretty much the same as pro sewing. The design I like in
the material I prefer and a quality to my liking (I hope :-)). </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Also,
slow consumption – I produce less but (hopefully) like it more and
therefore treat my me-made pieces well and keep them for a long time.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">What
sparked kniting for me right now though is that I was looking for a
relaxing and still productive way to spend my evenings. I'm often too
tired to sew at night, and knitting is a very couch-compatible
pastime!</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">(I
used to spend some of this time making cross stitch, see <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2010/11/embroidered-advent-calendar.html" target="_blank">here </a>and
<a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2013/01/cross-stitch-ornamentkreuzstich-deko.html" target="_blank">here</a>. As my eyes are aging I can't do this by normal lamplight
anymore. These days I prefer to cross stitch on my summer
holidays in bright daylight!)</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">In
the the few days I've been knitting I've also learned two fun facts: </span>
</div>
<ol>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I
had no idea how many opportunities to knit a row or two occur in a
mom's typical day (waiting rooms, sports practice...).</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I've
been out in public knitting once and had three conversations just
because of it. What a social craft!</span></div>
</li>
</ol>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">How
about you, do you knit or do you think one craft is more than enough?
Any fun conversations about knitting in public? </span></h4>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">(I'll
talk about my pattern, yarn and sources next time. I'm sure by then
I'll need to ask some advice, too!)</span></div>

<br />
Der Sewalong ist in der zweiten Runde und ich habe ein paar Entdeckungen gemacht, die "mein" Kleid betreffen. Zur Erinnerung: dieses Modell soll es werden.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">(Burdastyle 9-2013-107)</span></div>
<br />
Als ich die September-Burda herausgekramt hatte und mir die Modellzeichnung ansah, fiel mir auf, dass ich dieses Modell vor kurzem in der Bloglandschaft gesehen hatte. <a href="http://sewinggalaxy.blogspot.de/2013/10/darf-ich-vorstellen-titelmodell.html" target="_blank">Sewing Galaxy</a> hat das Titelkleid der Burda genäht, das durch kontrastfarbene Ärmel und ohne Stern auf den ersten Blick ganz anders wirkt.<br />
<br />
Ich konnte mir auf ihrem Blog also nicht nur das fertige Kleid ansehen, sondern sie hat auch viel Vorarbeit geleistet, Änderungsmöglichkeiten vorgestellt und mir sogar ein paar Fragen beantwortet (Danke!). <br />
<br />
<h3>
Zum Stoff:</h3>
<br />
Zu meiner großen Überraschung handelt es sich bei dem Burda-Modell gar nicht um ein gemütliches Strickkleid, wie ich angenommen hatte. Burda empfiehlt Kreppsatin. Ich werde aber an meiner Idee festhalten und plane, Romanit zu verwenden. Da das Kleid eher schmal geschnitten ist, wird mir das hoffentlich zur nötigen Bequemlichkeit verhelfen. <br />
<br />
<h3>
Zu den Schnittänderungen:</h3>
<br />
Den Ausschnitt werde ich wohl so lassen, auch wenn Sewing Galaxy und die russische Bloglandschaft die Verschmälerung empfehlen. Ich finde hoch und breit ganz hübsch; ggf. muss ich noch über BH-Träger-Halter (gibt es da einen besseren Ausdruck?) nachdenken. <br />
<br />
Mit dem Ärmeln bin ich noch unsicher. Das Kleid hat ausgeprägte Fledermausärmel und ich bin nicht sicher, ob das mein Stil ist. Außerdem könnten die Ärmel hinderlich sein, z.B. wenn man etwas darüber ziehen will. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://sewinggalaxy.blogspot.de/2013/10/darf-ich-vorstellen-titelmodell.html" target="_blank">Sewing Galaxy</a> wies allerdings daraufhin, dass sich der Charakter des Kleides völlig ändert, wenn man andere Ärmel verwendet. Sie hat einen Link in ihrem Post, an dem man das deutlich erkennen kann. Ich denke auch, dass die Ärmel diese besondere Lässigkeit des Kleides ausmachen.<br />
<br />
Was meint Ihr? <br />
<br />
Dann werde ich noch meine üblichen Änderungen einbauen: <br />
<ul>
<li>lange Taille</li>
<li>gerade Schultern</li>
<li>ein Größe mehr in der Hüfte.</li>
</ul>
Der Stoff ist heute gekommen. In der nächsten Woche soll es häppchenweise an die Schnitterstellung (und vielleicht Zuschneiden) gehen.<br />
<br />
Näht schön!<br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
When I got out my September Burdastyle I realized I'd seen this dress (in the contrast sleeve version) before, on <a href="http://sewinggalaxy.blogspot.de/2013/10/darf-ich-vorstellen-titelmodell.html" target="_blank">Sewing Galaxy's blog</a>. Her dress turned out great, and she gave several tips for alterations and such.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The fabric:</h3>
<br />
To my surprise, Burda recommends crepe satin for the dress. I will stick with ponte jersey though. Sewing Galaxy agreed that it will work for the slim cut dress, and I'll feel better about omitting the zipper (which Burda does anyway, but I'd see myself struggling with a slim-cut crepe dress without a zipper). Also, remember my dress is meant for lounging, however chic!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
The alterations:</h3>
<br />
I think I'll keep the boatneck, although others have narrowed and lowered it a bit. I may have to add bra-keepers.<br />
<br />
The technical drawing shows that the dress has serious dolman sleeves. I hadn't realized that and I'm not sure whether to keep this detail or not. It's the one design element the dress has (aside from the star), I'm just not used to the look on myself. Also, I don't know whether wearing a coat will be an issue. What do you think?<br />
<br />
I will also make my usual alterations:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>long torso</li>
<li>straight shoulder</li>
<li>grading up in the hip</li>
</ul>
<div>
The fabric came today. Next week I'll make the pattern and maybe cut it out. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Happy sewing!</div>

DIY und die Unfähigkeit, einzukaufen</h3>

Meine Geschichte in Auszügen.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Vor ca. 25 Jahren setzte ich mir in den
Kopf, einen signalroten Rollkragenpullover in klassischer Weite aus
reiner Schurwolle zu erwerben. Ich dachte, so etwas müsse es doch
geben. Ich fuhr nach Köln und durchkämmte die gesamte Hohe Straße
und Schildergasse. Am Ende ließ ich es bleiben, so ein
Kleidungsstück existierte nur für Männer.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Voriges Jahr brauchte ich eine neue
Tasche. Maße und Form waren (aus praktischen Gründen) nicht
verhandelbar, dass sie aus Leder sein sollte auch nicht. Die Farbe
stellte ich mir zwar vor, war aber flexibel. Easy, es gibt ja jetzt
das Internet. Eineinhalb Jahre habe ich gesucht, und als ich dann die
Tasche fand, war es mir ehrlich gesagt egal, was sie kostete.</div>

Es ist Herbst. Das Tochterkind friert,
trotz Fleecelagen. Macht nichts, es gibt ja Pullover zu kaufen.
Baumwolle hilft natürlich nicht, es sollte schon Wolle sein. Und
schmal und ihr zumindest theoretisch gefallen. Der Baumwollwirtschaft
geht es offenbar gut, der Kunststoffindustrie ebenfalls und
vielleicht ja auch den Schafen, denn für Kinderpullover geben sie
ihr Vlies jedenfalls nicht her.</div>

<h3>
DIY and the (Un-) Ability to Buy Things</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>What comes first, that particular taste
that makes it impossible to find what one wants on sales racks? Or

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
A few bits of my story:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
About 25 years ago, I set out to buy a
pure wool red turtleneck sweater. I combed the Cologne high street
(one of Germany's biggest shopping centers), to no avail. Such a
garment existed only in men's sizes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Last year I needed a bag in specific
shape and measurements – for practical reasons. I wanted leather, I
was less fixated on the color. Easy-peasy since there's Internet
shopping now, right? It took me one and a half years to find the
bag, and I hardly cared about the price when I finally found it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Sweater weather. 2010 at the North Sea.)</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
It's fall and DD is always cold,
despite wearing layers of fleece. So I set out to buy her a woollen
sweater, slim cut for layering. Not hard, is it? Ha ha ha. Take
cotton/poly/acrylic or leave it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

Brauche ich ein Kleid? Nö. Habe ich Langeweile? Nö. Habe ich letztes Jahr festgestellt, wie gut mir die ruhige Handarbeit im Jahresendstress tut? Genau. Und deshalb probiere ich es dieses Jahr wieder.<br />

<br />
Letztes Jahr hatte ich meiner Tochter <a href="http://el-little.blogspot.de/2012/12/frohliche-weihnachten-kleidmerry.html" target="_blank">ein Kleid</a> genäht, das wird wohl dieses Jahr noch passen.<br />
<br />
Deshalb habe ich mir eins für mich ganz allein ausgesucht. Und vielleicht... füllt es ja sogar eine Lücke im Schrank. Schicke Kleider? Hab ich. Festliche Kleider? Hab ich. Gemütliche Kleider... Hmmm... Da geht noch was!<br />
<br />
Wer beim WKSA den Glamour sucht, muss jetzt vielleicht weglesen. Sorry!<br />

Ausgeguckt habe ich mir dieses Modell von Burdastyle, das mir wegen meines lange verschütteten Sternenticks besonders gut gefällt. Es ist nie zu spät, zum Stil einer 16-jährigen zurückzukehren. Oder so.<br />

Sorry for always beginning in German these days!<br />
<br />
I'm trying to be a better member of the German sewing community. German sewing bloggers were few and far between when I started blogging, so my blogging idols were all in English-speaking countries. Now there are hundreds in Germany and they are very active, organizing me-made days and sewalongs.<br />

The dress will still fit her this Christmas, so I'm enjoying a selfish sewing moment! I had to think for a bit what kind of dress makes sense to me. I'm not the type to collect festive robes only to wear them once. I have a few festive and elegant dresses but I'm decidedly lacking in the chic-but-casual department.<br />

<br />
So a knit dress is in order! I immediately thought of this Burdastyle pattern which especially tickled my fancy because I had a full-blown star obsession when I was 14. And 15. And 16. And... It's never to late for a little sweet sixteen style, right (leave me my illusions!)?<br />
<br />
Happy sewing!<br />
