Chez Plum

Haha, so excited and impatient to post the first pics of my totally finished Violaine top !! I just love it, so funny to see the three of us in the same sweater !! :-P

Actually I’m so happy with it that I may have to keep it…!! I was thinking of [...]

I just asked Prune to take pictures of my nearly-finished Violaine top. She kind of did okay for a 3-year old… ;-)
Plus I need to leave some suspense before the final photos of the finished top..! :-P

I would have been finished except I had to frog once more.. It needed an extra [...]

I wish Etsy had stats on how people found my shop.
I also wish they’d let us know when one of our items is featured in a Treasury…

I don’t check the Treasury much these days but I just thought I’d have a look tonight and Bang !
My Dancing poppies scarf is here, in this “Wrapped up [...]

Getting closer on the Violaine [vee-o-lene] top. I’m really happy with the top part now but I’m not sure the bottom lacy part captures the spirit of the Roselette very well.. So I might frog some again…

I have just started a second one with some old stash yarn to see if the changes [...]

Here it is !!
I hope you’ll like it as much as I do. I’m [...]

I’ve started a new little thing, will you guess which pattern it is ? :-P

It started as a granny square. It seems to become a hat… And yes, I’m using one of my new wooden hooks. Just as I thought it’s not my fastest hook but the pleasure of hooking with such a beautiful tool [...]

So here is the Roselette top for my friend’s daughter. I gave it to her this afternoon and it’s so pretty on her. I’ll need a picture soon.. (and btw, it doesn’t show but prune has chicken pox. She’s very worried about all these little buttons, poor her !)

I used two strands of [...]

I broke several hooks lately (including my favorite ever bone hook) so I tried to refurbish my stock. Look at the set I received this morning. There’s a 4.5 mm, a 5 mm (made of Olive wood no less!), a 8 mm and a 10 mm. Can’t wait to try them and see if [...]
