Chez Plum

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 [...]

This week we went to my parents to see my brother and his family before they leave again for their home away on a sunny island.. It was my niece’s 4th birthday, perfect occasion to give her the Roselette I made for her with some variagated cotton yarn from Ebay. It’s a tad large but [...]

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 ! :-)
