“Camargue” is a triangular area of Provence in the south of France. With the Rhone delta and salt wetlands, it’s famous for its pink flamingos, white Camargue horses and black bulls.

This marinire style sweater has been on my mind for a long time… Cascade yarns went along with my project and sent a batch of lovely “wool 220” for me to play with. The idea was there, but I swatched with all sorts of crochet stitches to find the perfect textured stripes: I wanted an […]

Classic hardwearing socks, with […]
The Open Spaces coat is the perfect mix of style and comfort, when you want to be nice and cozy in the winter. Crocheted with Super bulky yarn, it is amazingly quick to crochet with all these “open spaces” (chains are soooo much faster to make than full stitches). The hood is totally optional, so […]
Starting something completely new (to me)… Crocheted socks ! Socks… I tried to knit them ages ago. Then tried to crochet them.

Every once and again, crocheters will ask me how they can crochet one of my designs.. but in another size. Let’s focus today on how to do that for kids and pre-teens. For instance, this week, Karine S. asked: “Hi Sylvie do you sell a pattern for a dancing poppies sweater in sizes 6 years […]
