Chez Plum

But plum and lime is even better ! So I’ve finally just rearranged the colors of this blog “àma sauce”. Now that looks a bit more like me. However, I still need to fix some stuff with Laurent later today as I know not everybody will have the “Wendy medium” font, so I’ll [...]

Just a few words to say that I’ve been able to find new homes to quite a bit of my stash lately so I’ve just added more again. This time, more single skeins, but not only. It’s here.
Oh, and also this morning I made my very first stitch markers. They’ll probably get more even [...]

Woohoo, I got Yahaira’s package this morning, so that’s more yarn that I can use for future designs or projects ! (lovely lichen color Mission falls cotton+ camel GGH “Aspen”)

… plus look at the AWESOME suprise she added: 600yds of the most beautiful bamboo, especially hand dyed by her for “chez Plum”. Isn’t this [...]

I found this top in a french mag yesterday and thought that was super pretty. Real easy design, and all in garter stitch, but on oversized needles. Somehow I’d be tempted to make one for myself, like in a real dark color (black / navy blue), but would I wear it (I tend to [...]

So here is my friend Rachel modelling her new shrug…

I also knitted her something else, but Shh! it’s a secret.
We had a cool week-end, went to a BBQ, chatted about NZ with a german gal(!), then met with some cousins on sunday. Prune had a great time playing with a toy kitchen(for a change, she [...]

So the shrug pattern is coming along nicely (mostly thanks to my awesome proofreaders!). Can’t wait to see wether the larger sizes “work” too.
Also, this already dates back to a few days (but I was too busy with the shrug to post anything), look what I found the other day when I went shopping for [...]

I’ll show my most ridiculous (hopefully ever though !) FO : My new “Kenny” remote control…!!!
I really needed to “baby-proof” the remote as one of Prune’s favorite game is to throw it on the ground (then batteries out = not very cool for a baby). So I had grand plans for a really chic cozy [...]

Okay, so I’ve been kinda tagged by Christine,.. that’ll be an occasion to reveal a bit more about me.
10 years ago: Man, I was slowly recovering from the huuumongous surprise of Laurent (my partner) finally falling for me after running after him for over 2 years in vain. Hmm, at the time I was [...]

…Well I really suck, I did it again !! This time comments were allowed, but only to members of my blog (ie, me!). Thanks Yahaira, once again…
Right. We came back yesterday night, after 5 days training for our next life as lizards, relaxing in the warm shade of the trees, listening to the “crrr-crrr” of [...]

Well there’s one good news, and one bad news. Good news is I’m leaving in a couple hours for 5 days on the Riviera (actually inland, but still real close to St Tropez…Isn’t that flash ?!!) So that’ll be 5 days of siesta, swimming pool, beach, bike rides, bbq and petanque… Cool!
But bad news is [...]
