ETA: Thanks for all the comments, I chose the top right pic which seems to be the most favorite.. and I agree with all your comments :-D I sent a copy of the pattern to kristen. I booked a slot for a featured Crochet pattern on Ravelry next month, and am trying to come up […]

Just in time before we switch to the month of May, here’s this month’s Fiber Giveaway ! No time to prepare some pretty fiber for you as I had in mind this month, so I’ll snatch something from the store instead: Here’s 2 oz of Fine South African wool in Very girly colors with pink, […]

April is around the corner now, high time for March’s Fiber Giveaway !! (Now CLOSED – come again next month for April’s Fiber Giveaway !) No I didn’t forget about it, but truth is I discovered this month that the postal rates for international small packages have doubled (insert rant against terribly illogical rates of […]

Yesterday I started spinning my Fiber Swap Art batts. As you can see, I love color ;-) Needle-felted some flowers, beads and oddments, and spun using the autowrapping and foreign objects techniques from “Sit and spin“. I love that the batts contain all sorts of fibers and textures (including chunks of locks) which renders beautifully […]

So I finally saw a feature on WordPress allowing me a choose a smaller size for my pics (or maybe the feature was added lately, because I really feel like I had looked and couldn’t find anything), so I finally took the time to update my Gallery !! :-D Which brings me to this: I […]

Whoops, didn’t mean to take so long to post .. Week-end was busy with friends and it’s already tuesday ! :-P Here’s the promised pic of that fiber I blended on my Hackle. As usual, I carded the remaining fiber with my handcards. Pretty, no ? I tried to practise with my hand-cards the other […]

I designed this pattern ages ago, as a present for my friend Christine’s daughter. Now my standards have evolved in terms of crochet patterns so I thought it was time to turn this early work into a free pattern. I hope the (very few) people who bought a copy won’t feel bad about this, (or […]

Here’s a little photo frame I made with the girls for my mum’s birthday this week-end … It was easy, quick and fun. I wrote a little tutorial to make a similar photo frame with felt appliquà©s if you want some fun too…! :-) Plus Mother’s day is still a week or so ahead here […]

I know I said I’d be knitting again, but you guessed it, I’m still crocheting.. ;-P Yesterday I skeined this huuuuuuuge hank of Fleece Artist Merino (there’s 800 m in there!) given by the generous Stephanie when I wrote the “knitting from the french” article. And started a Dancing Poppies Stole. I really need a […]

So I just took a couple pictures. Here’s the Violaine top in progress so far : It’s a bit wrinkled from being crunched in my little bag. I’m overall very happy with the general looks which leads me to think I’ll probably get a really nice end result. However there are still many things I […]
