I had 2 skeins of Kureyon in that 147 shade. Hooked away thinking I could still make it a bit shorter as it’s okay-ish with 6 rows of shells. But I’m short of 3 shells to finish that 6th row !!! :-/ Would anyone have tiny remnants (15-20 g) of Kureyon 147 (lot A) by […]

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 […]

If you’re only a knitter, sorry for the lack of knitting content lately.. It seems my brains are so excited by all the new poosibilities offerered by crochet that I just can’t stop ! Some of my older readers may remember that “Mouchelette” top I knitted for Prune ages ago. The pattern is still waiting […]

I need more Malabrigo merino worsted for future projects… so I thought I’d try and swap/sell that HipKnits aran weight silk…. Have a look on Destash for details ! Also, look at my pink Scarflette in that “button up” Treasury !! :-)

Yesterday night I finished the pink scarflette: chose a set of pretty vintage buttons (they’re mostly glass buttons!) and sewed them on. Here’s the photos ! Far right picture is a (bad) preview of that new crochet scarf I’m working on. I have so many projects in mind with this mix of yarns… Not a […]

I used to read A LOT. As in I’d read any book I found in my teens. (and btw that’s how I read “Jane Eyre” in english when I was about 13, after having already read it in french.. Side note for all those who ask that “How come you speak such good english” question.. […]

So, my Plumetis is officially done ! The weather is finally turning to nice again (nearly turned the heater back on yesterday, it was freezing !), hopefully we can do some nicer outdoor pics soon ! I’m now working on the sizing, let’s cross fingers I can handle this… ;-) As I said before, I’d […]

but the fancy scarf is done. I just need to add tassels at the ends (thanks for the right word BH !!), snap a quick pic, and get it mailed out asap !!!! Hopefully I’ll get that done today, and shall post a pic then. But the actual reason I couldn’t wait and HAD to […]

Yeah !!! I was starting to think it would never arrive, but I got my package from the Crafster “my country doesn’t have this” swap yesterday morning !! And look what elizabeth sent me ! The 2 skeins of the Rowan “all seasons cotton” I had asked for (this way I’ll be able to check […]

I got this in the mail today: the awesome needlecase Melissa sent me, along with an assorted v. cool stitch marker. And speaking of stitch markers, I just started using one of these little guys yesterday, and I think I’m addicted ! Not that I NEED it – I’ve just cast on for a nb […]
