Prune went a birthday earlier today. That of course meant bringing a present for the little girl. But I don’t like buying yet more plastic and/or brand toys or dolls … So I just got a little HelloKitty booklet of cards and stickers, and figured we’d make something cute by ourselves. We started making a […]
Today Prune’s teacher was on strike, the whole school was closed and both girls stayed at home. Since I’d like to learn and make felt adornments for my art-yarns, I took this occasion and offered them to make felt beads for a necklace for Prune’s teacher. (not sure she’s the kind to wear necklaces, but […]
Kate Jacobs is everywhere these days, which sadly reminds me how I still can’t read “Knit two”. Last summer I was given the first book, “Friday knitting club”, took it with me on holidays, didn’t have time to read it BUT forgot it there. 500 kms away from here. Luckily my friend Emily later lent […]

I am lucky to be featured on 2 blogs these days: While Lime&Violet featured the Vroomies pattern in their Advent Calendar, head out to Tina’s blog to read my interview as part of her Knitting Contrisstas series. Lots of cool other interviews too, so honored ! :-D Have started working on a new hat (until […]
I first met Laurel through Ravelry in the Fiber Swap Club. She’s the one who sent me the beautiful Merino roving I used for my mini-shawl. She’s lucky to have a very crafty husband who makes all sorts of tools, including hackles which Laurel sells in her Etsy store on top of her fiber goodies. […]
Do you know that blog, “Dark Roast blend” ? If you don’t it’s worth a look. Tons of beautiful images, funny or weird, each time on a different theme. The blog owner contacted me a few days ago for permission to use my pic of the Psycho Tomato I crocheted from Ladylinoleum‘s great pattern. Of […]
Tada, our “dayjob” website MonEscapade is finally online, Yay ! So now the big job begins, finding new listings for the site (B&B and gŕ®tes owners in France) and marketing the site to get a decent PR (pagerank) asap.. will keep me busy for a while, I tell you..! :-P So, while I’ll be working […]
Yay, after a little practise yesterday I’m getting the hang of it ! So glad I found the videos on Youtube too, it’s funny how I had a totally different idea of how it worked.. I especially liked this video, and also this picture tutorial. So far I’m using the park and draft technique. And […]
My grandmother used to knit a lot. I’m not sure if she’s the one who taught me or if my mum did. But I remember seing her often with needles and yarn, knitting stuff for her numerous grandchildren. Then she got parkinson’s desease and gradually could not do a lot of the things she used […]
