hello, just a quick note to say we’re leaving this afternoon for an extended week-end in my parent’s bungalow on the Riviera. Wish us some sun and warm weather.. :-P Of course I’m taking my spindle with me and some colorful fiber. Those were spun from my Pancake and lulu kit. Love them but not […]

Also pictured is a new project/pattern I’m working on, for a kid’s pixie hoodie sweater with long sleeves. Of course you’ve noticed that I started on […]

I know I said I’d be knitting again, but you guessed it, I’m still crocheting.. ;-P Yesterday I skeined this huuuuuuuge hank of Fleece Artist Merino (there’s 800 m in there!) given by the generous Stephanie when I wrote the “knitting from the french” article. And started a Dancing Poppies Stole. I really need a […]

We saw my niece last week-end. I’m so glad she used her new blankie right away ! :-) I started some little flowers because they’re so gorgeous. Might use them to patch a pair of jeans, or maybe as appliquŕ©s on a cushion or something. Tweaking the pattern lightly, details on Ravelry. I finally got […]
