Plume’s Ermeline, and numbers

Posted: Thursday, March 25th, 2010 @ 10:40 am in Crochet, WIP, chezPlum Patterns | No Comments »

Working on Plume’s Ermeline cardi makes it easier to work on all those numbers, as I get to use them right away :-)
The good feedback I got on Ravelry is also a great motivation. And yes, I am already thinking of an adult version: Of course I want mine too. With a hood of course [...]

Choosing names

I need your help.
I initially named this new design “Ermeline”, then thought it would be a unisex garment and switched to “Armel”.

I’ve just created a Facebook account ! Add me as a contact if you’d like :-)
I’ll try to announce the new patterns there, contests, new vintage spindles coming in.. and any other relevant event :-)
And speaking of vintage french spindles, I also finally took the time to go through all of them, pick the ones [...]
