Designed to showcase the beauty of my friend Heike’s gradient yarn, Amour Bleu-corail ( = Blue love) features lacy gradient mesh rows, cute heart-shaped front ties and a picot edging. Made top down in one piece, it’s easy as pie to make and the pattern includes many step-by-step pictures and tutorials to guide you along […]

Summer is that time of the year when you feel free to wear any cray and fun clothes ! This is the spirit of my “Bertille hooded bolero”. Made for a festive and fun summer with friends and family. Cropped shape to keep it light for the summer, but with a super long hood just […]

I’ve had requests for larger sizes for my patterns ever since I published Loup. Seemed like a good idea… except I didn’t know where to start, having heard many times you can’t just keep on increasing the sizing exponentially. Plus sizes are specific, and while my designing method is usually to create the garment directly […]

Funny how I used to loathe the color turquoise as a teenager. Turquoise was everywhere at that time, THE hot color ! Bracelets and jewelery, t-shirts and whatever. It was too much and I kind of swore to myself I’d never wear turquoise. BUT. This is precisely the reason why I try never to say […]

Because we live in altitude in the french Alps, warm woolens are a must in my wardrobe. Always looking for the perfect balance between warmth and style, I got tired of the traditional boxy sweaters and funnel necks.

I’m so glad to see how so many people also love those super long hoods. Somewhere between dreamland and Woodland… Cozy to wear, but also fitted and feminine. Just like the baby version “Lutin Marguerite“, this new elfin cardigan “Lutine des Fleurs” is crocheted top down in one piece with worsted weight yarn. It features […]

Bulky flower cardigan now has buttons… large enameled coconut shell buttons !! Took a moment to photograph this sleeveless version, and will now continue to add sleeves. Only downside being that I should have remembered: Filz = felt in german/related nordic languages if I’m not mistaken… Which explains how this “Filzy wool” is not really […]

Yipee !!! My Loup jacket WON 2015 Best Coat/Jacket in the Crochet Awards !! Thanks so much to everyone who voted for me :-) Pattern is available on Etsy, Ravelry or Craftsy.

I ended up calling this new design LOUP (= wolf in french) … because I certainly don’t feel like a Little Red Riding Hood !! ;-) A super warm and cozy winter jacket, with a large hood (as was requested by some customers) and longer back to keep my back toasty… It’s made with aran […]
