The Banjo Bag is now being tested. The pattern should be ready by next week or so… after I do a little swatch to check gauge… Yeah I know that’s usually what people start with!! ;-) I also plan a matching beret with the same colours if I have enough of the black yarn.. (a […]

I really should get started on a translation tonight but can’t resist showing you yet another FO: I sent this “Banjo Bag” today for the “Dà©tournement de mode” swap. It will be showcased at the “Crà©à© attitudes” Salon in Paris next week before going to its final recipient. Let’s hope she likes it ! I […]

If you’re only a knitter, sorry for the lack of knitting content lately.. It seems my brains are so excited by all the new poosibilities offerered by crochet that I just can’t stop ! Some of my older readers may remember that “Mouchelette” top I knitted for Prune ages ago. The pattern is still waiting […]

The scarf is finished, and blocked. Yay ! :-D After taking about a million photos this morning, here are some semi-decent ones… Funny how it now looks more like a shawlette, … or at least that’s how it feels ! It’s very warm anyway, and I’m really quite pleased with how both turned out. I’ll […]

I finished the choker last night. Pretty and so comfy !! :-) I’ll most likely list that one on Etsy beginnning of next week and I’m curious to see if people like it ! (btw, how much do you think I can ask for it ?) Let’s hope I’ll have enough Malabrigo for a second […]

I used to read A LOT. As in I’d read any book I found in my teens. (and btw that’s how I read “Jane Eyre” in english when I was about 13, after having already read it in french.. Side note for all those who ask that “How come you speak such good english” question.. […]

This post is going to be full of Maud… She turned one Year last week (Happy Birthday !!) and seems to grow fast these days !! (we also noticed an “acceleration” after prune turned one). She now crawls and should be walking very soon. Also, I keep loosing her sun hat so I decided I’d […]

I finished the plum and green booties, then started another pair to fit smaller feet. Kind of newborn-3 months. And now I end up loving the second pair best ! So much so that I’m going to rewrite the larger ones again… and keep photos for later when they look perfect !! ;-P (and yes, […]

Little Maud is nearly 8 months now, and she’s just changing so much suddenly. She’ll stand on her legs whenever she can (= whenever we hold her in that position.. ;-) , and she starts “talking” and babbling too. She’s interacting/playing much more with her sister and that’s so cool to see… I can’t wait […]

Want to read my interview on Craftzine.com..?!! Ha Ha, my first ever interview, can you tell I’m excited ? :-D We came back yesterday night from our (extended) week away, and Yes, we were lucky: it snowed !! I got to try my brand new telemark shoes (yeah !!), did some nordic ski in the […]
