Yay ! My article “Knitting from the french” is now online !! Published in stephanie’s super cool new magazine, Knitting fog , also featuring a fantastic lacy dress free pattern, and an interview of Julie Anderson ! In my article, you’ll find a dictionnary of french to english knitting terms, and the pics link to french free pattern sources.
And look at what we got last night?!! P seemed to love it, she even went “exploring” into knee-deep snow (for her!). That’s great, we both LOVE snow too. :-D
In other news, here’s the beginning of a lacy scarf I’m making. Part of the said stashbusting operation. This yarn had tried to be the Meg Swansen scarf from the fall VK, but I was so afraid I would be short of yarn I frogged it and started again with this lace pattern which I had already been eyeing for a while. And the good surprise was, it’s super easy too ! Only a small section to remember, I loooove that ! This was all knit in the train to and from Uni yesterday. :-D
Also, it doesn’t show as well on that pic, but the yarn is really cool, it changes colour a bit, from yellowish to some reds mixed in the green… I think it’s going to look nice. I’ll probably add some picots edging for finishing, we’ll see.
..And finally, last but not least, I had my first ultrasound this morning. Yess…, cause I’m 2 months and a bit pregant.. !!
I’ve known for a while now, but I just didn’t want to tell too early. Thought this would be a good occasion.. ;-) Apparently all is fine so far, 2 arms, 2 legs, … and only one baby ! ;-)
I was actually glad to have this opportunity to “see” the baby-in-the-making (apparently it’s about 10 cm long), cause between p and going back to school ..and not being as sick as for prune at all (which is good !!) .. sometimes I really forget I’m pregnant. Except my back is starting to ache these days.. Plus of course the boobs thing .. ;-)

Blessings on the new life you are carrying.

Hey Maenwyn, did you mean “in french” ? Cause it is indeed a good question (there’s no equivalent to that classification in french, you just go by the needles & gauge), I’ll add something about that in the article !!

Yes, I meant in French. I’ve been thinking about this for a while and didn’t have anyone to ask. We mostly speak English and Spanish here in Missouri.
It’s a great atricle.

Thanks for the link to Knitting From The French(Strangely enough, I mostly learned to knit in French. I was an exchange student in Lyons. I still have all my lean to knit boods in French!
I couldn’t find a private email, but I wanted to mention your sidebar is “broken” in Netscape Navigator. On my browser, there is a bland space to the left or the content, then the sidebard is shifted down below all the articles.
I think the problem is the text doesn’t wrap, so the sidebar ends up wider than the space you budgeted. Then, navigator shifts it down!
