Chez Plum

Our friend Fabrice is a bit crazy, and we’ve been calling him “Poulpy” (poulpe= octopus in french) ever since he wore a dead octopus on his head during a costumed party.

So about 2 years ago when he invited us for his birthday, I knew I had to make him something special, and thought of [...]

The baby blankie for my baby’s cousin is finished, except for those darn ends to weave in.. :-P
I wanted to make a little extra present “from me” to my cousin, as the blanket is a request from my grandmother. So I made another baby Altay hat with some of the leftover yarn.
Of [...]

Sometimes I’m amazed that despite all the testing and people using my patterns, some typos will show up long after the publication of a pattern. :-/
We were away for a couple days visiting my in-laws, and I visited their local thrifstore. Found great stuff there, and a few cute skeins of yarn. Including this pink [...]

Prune’s new slippers have been finished for a while, but I only added soles yesterday night. They’re kind of foam soles, and I’m not sure they’ll last long. But at least they’re anti-slippery so that prune doesn’t fall every step she makes ;-)

Of course Maud asked for a pair too, which I made so [...]

First I wanted to say Hi to all the people coming from Craftzine ! I hope you’ll enjoy the Headband pattern :-D

I have finally finished weaving in all the ends and blocking the blankie for my friend’s baby boy. Now I just need to give it to them .. Joining the squares was a big concern before I started on this one, as for my previous one I tried an sc-seam which turned out [...]

- This is an ideal last minute present for a little girl!: [...]

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… :-)

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 I [...]

I’m usually always SO cold when working inside on the computer all day. I’d be wrapping shawls and vests and things around my neck and bury my head in hooded sweaters… but I needed something more practical, and have been hunting Raverly for the perfect cowl/capelet pattern…
As usual I found tons of cool ones, [...]
