I mean, did you see that ?!!! Yeah, the swatch !!! It may not look like much at first but WOW ! This is the proof that Gedifra “Wellness” is THE perfect substitute for my “Cotonina” yarn, the one I used for all 3 Isabeau patterns (shrug, purse & totes). Lime is cotonina, and olive […]

Seems it was more of a false alert in the end. She’s still super low but hanging in there despite it all. Hope she won’t wait until due date though, as the 3 next week-ends were booked with family, friends and weddings… This week-end we drove again to my parents and celebrated the girls birthdays. […]

So we’ve tried it all this week-end, the foot massage, grocery shopping with p under the rain (!), the mini-hike, vaccuming and cooking for our friend’s visit, and then to top it off a 2.5 hr drive (on a bumpy country road!) to my parents.. I sure did have a lot of contractions, but still […]

Booh. I was getting all ready so it’s a bit frustrating now. However, I did have a few contractions again last night and she’s so very low now that I’m not losing hope. I try to keep moving as much as possible, walk, vacuum, clean up the flat ect… And we’ll try a mini-hike and […]

So, I’m supposedly only due in a full month. (june 17th). But yesterday I woke up at 5.30 half-damp with sweat and had contractions every 8-10 minutes till 6.30… Then it just so happened that I had my monthly appointment with the obstetrician that morning. And he said… huhu, yep, could be very soon !! […]

“You’re in” she said. Who ? Amy from Knitty !!! … so watch for my first ever to be published pattern in the upcoming summer issue of Knitty… :-D (all I can say it’s an “extremities” issue, stuff for hands, feet ect..)

The crocheted baby set is finished and sent. Till she receives it she’s now got it, so here are the (clickable) pics : So the hard-to-guess second item was actually a “baby-book”, with fabric pages on which you print pics of familiar faces for the baby… Hope you’ll see what I mean. Obviously the one […]

I should have two FOs to show pretty soon. Yes, you did read correctly, two !! The crochet baby set only needs a bit of finishing, and I’m halfway thru the second sleeve of the lime cardi. I’m trying to concentrate on those and not work on anything else till I’ve finished… For now, here’s […]

…but the kids just had so much fun ! And prune wouldn’t stop asking for the “kis” until we got them out. Attempts to walk with the skis were fun, but the sledge works surprisingly well on the grass !!! (can you tell p loved having a friend to play with?) We had a gorgeous […]
