April is around the corner now, high time for March’s Fiber Giveaway !! (Now CLOSED – come again next month for April’s Fiber Giveaway !) No I didn’t forget about it, but truth is I discovered this month that the postal rates for international small packages have doubled (insert rant against terribly illogical rates of […]

This morning I finally (after my car’s breakdown last week) got to visit Claudia and her brand new (to her) Louet S10 wheel. First task was to assemble it, and somehow manage to get the tension right to be able to spin some yarn.. That took a good hour probably, after changing a couple bolts […]

I really thought I was going to try my hand on a wheel for the very first time this week, as my friend Claudia bought one (a Louet S10, same as the one I plan on buying as soon as we move to a larger place) and invited me to try it with her, .. […]

The pattern for the Last Minute Butterfly Headband is up, you can download your copy here ! :-) I finished the second one this morning: this one will be for us, and I love it on Maud ! :-D Now some info on the pattern: – This is an ideal last minute present for a […]

Just a quick post to send a shoutout to Emy, who still hasn’t sent me her postal adress so that I can send her the blue Mini-batts. I’ve checked my spam folder and didn’t see anything, can’t comment on your blog, and apparently my messages are rejected as “containing spam or virus content”. :-/ In […]

So, I’ve been resting a lot this week, taking naps, spinning some, reading some, and slowly going back to normal life.

Hi, just a note to say hi, I got back from the clinic today. Thanks for all the well wishes ! The operation went fine, now I’m just quite tired. So don’t worry if I don’t post much in the coming week… :-)

So I’m leaving this afternoon for the clinic, where I’ll be operated on tomorrow morning (french time). Thanks for all your well wishes, I hope I won’t be too tired when I get out on friday… Of course I’m taking some crochet and knitting with me, along with a few good books… :-) I’ve started […]

So I counted all the people who chose each batch of fibers, and asked laurent (my favorite Random Number generator ;-) to choose one number between 1 and 17 for the blue lot, and another number between 1 and 9 for the green one… So here are the winners of February’s Fiber giveaway: Emy wins […]

Sorry it took so long…The revised pattern for the Roselette top is finally available, with additional instructions to fit a 6 year-old! :-D If you already purchased the pattern just send me a note and I’ll send you an updated copy. (most of you should be receiving a note about this from Ravelry anyway) Yesterday […]
