Chez Plum

Have you seen me ? I’m on the Etsy blog !! :-D .. well, the french Etsy blog, but still that’s nice, especially when seing the other talented ladies also giving their tips on how to sell on Etsy.

And speaking of ChezPlum patterns, The “bag a month” group on Ravelry chose to knit my Isabeau purse this month.. Cool, I never tire from seeing [...]

Hi eveybody, so I think I’ve fixed some things around here. For some reason there was some automatic rewriting of my main url (chezplum.com becoming chezplum.com/blog). Seems it blocked some feedreaders, and I’m hoping this was the reason for the bug in my pattern-download system. (if you still have any trouble uploading a pattern, please [...]
