Just a personal post so I don’t forget those millions things I want to do next.. – Finish editing the pattern for the “Wee Booties” (I realised I’m not having fun making those any more and happened to have a request for the pattern, so there it goes!) – Write the tutorial for my Crochet […]

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 […]

Not that I plan it that way but I’ve noticed that whenever I try and like a new design, I usually end up with several items around the same “theme”. Like my 4 Isabeau patterns… Same goes with my other designs although it doesn’t show yet: many items are still unfinished (as that cardi that […]

I don’t know about you but it seems I never have the time for anything this year !! With prune starting school I was supposed to have “more” time for myself, but so far it hasn’t worked much. The laundry pile never stops to grow, I hardly ever watch tv at night.. and of course […]

Finally I managed to finish my new Mittenettes !! They’re very warm and quite pretty (even though not as plum-colored as I first thought). I now need to make a matching hat with the remaining hank !! (Please excuse the funny look, I’m holding the camera remote-control in my mouth.. :-P ) I also have […]

I did it again. Knit 2 left mitts… Ripping until thumb increases and restarting. This goes to show I probably should never attempt any complicated stranded mitts, it would be so frustrating to have to rip and reknit something that actually takes time to knit !!! :-P

Actually I couldn’t resist and casted on right away the other night for my new pair of Cactus mittenettes ! Technically I should be finished. But because this is handspun, one end of the hank was slightly bulkier, making the cuff of my first mitt a bit larger. They’re so quick to make that I […]

We’re eaving tomorrow at dawn (so the girls sleep for at least part of the long trip) for 2 weeks in Lacanau. That’s near Bordeaux, by the ocean. Nice… Let’s just cross fingers we can have an appartement with the view on the ocean !!! I may check my email in a cybercafà© every so […]

Kewl, seems my Orangeade Booties made it to Etsy’s Front page today in this Treasury List.. :-D Title of that list is actually “So beautiful- Beautiful iitems from European sellers”, and indeed there’s lots of nice stuff there..!! I’m flattered ! :-D

Just found this cool aplet (is that how you call those ?), Spell with Flickr. The best is you can actually change each letter until you like the one you’re getting… :-) Yesterday was Prune’s very first “day” (actually only a couple hours) of school. Yes, kids start school at 3 over here, which is […]
