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 ugly (large […]

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 […]

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 […]

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’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, […]

In a few hours it will be the end of 2008. This was a good year for me, with a lot of crocheting, lots of new designs.. and learning to spin too which was quite a revelation ! :-D Funny to see I only managed 2 knitted FOs this year ! Really crochet seems more […]

Publishing 2 posts today but I’d just rather make the most of the free time ahead for once, with both girls asleep and hopefully recovering from the cold and ear infection they caught last week. They’ve had plenty of time inside and rest but I guess they’re just tired of this first trimester of school/daycare… […]

I have lovely models for my shawl around… :-) It’s now blocked and looking pretty perfect. I finally decided against the button closure. It’s just lovely, lightweight and warm around my shoulders… In fact I’m wearing it this morning as I type this post. Oh and I realised I forgot to add details. The yarn […]

So cool, my Granny mitts were featured in Lime & Violet this week. :-D Craftzine chose instead to feature my old “Handmade gift pouch” Tutorial… Hey why not, it’s a freebie so might as well get twice more use.. ! :-P Late post this week, but we’ve been away all week visiting my in-laws. We […]

Nearly 2 years ago, like everybody else I fell in love with Stephanie Japel’s Simple knitted bodice. I don’t usually wear much white at all but at the same time two of my favorite sweaters are white mohair ones. I had this huge cone of white mohair in the stash, got gauge with it and […]
