Third edition of the “Lot et Laine” fiber festival in the south-west of France. Such a beautiful region. I was very glad to share this special moment with my older daughter this time…! Made new (crazy) adorable friends, got to see again old friends, taught a spindle spinning workshop, spent time talking about crochet and […]

So I’m a bit behind, but here’s a quick recap of the wool festival “Lot et Laine” I went to in July. The festival took place in Lot, a beautiful area of France, remote and quite a long trip from Vercors.. but it was oh so worth it ! Ladies from Cahors installed this beautiful […]

In order to double-check the pattern for my Jehanne hooded cardi before I hand it out to testers, I started a second one, this time in brown and green (=colors I had around). I’ll try to finish it before the festival in July… Crocheting as fast as I can ! :-)

July is going to be exciting, with the first “Lot et Laine” wool festival here in France on July 9-10. Of course I’ll be there, and here’s a sneak peek at what I’ll bring along: I will be teaching a workshop to learn to make felted soaps on sunday, and another workshop on granny squares […]
