“You’re in” she said. Who ? Amy from Knitty !!! … so watch for my first ever to be published pattern in the upcoming summer issue of Knitty… :-D (all I can say it’s an “extremities” issue, stuff for hands, feet ect..)

The crocheted baby set is finished and sent. Till she receives it she’s now got it, so here are the (clickable) pics : So the hard-to-guess second item was actually a “baby-book”, with fabric pages on which you print pics of familiar faces for the baby… Hope you’ll see what I mean. Obviously the one […]

I should have two FOs to show pretty soon. Yes, you did read correctly, two !! The crochet baby set only needs a bit of finishing, and I’m halfway thru the second sleeve of the lime cardi. I’m trying to concentrate on those and not work on anything else till I’ve finished… For now, here’s […]

…but the kids just had so much fun ! And prune wouldn’t stop asking for the “kis” until we got them out. Attempts to walk with the skis were fun, but the sledge works surprisingly well on the grass !!! (can you tell p loved having a friend to play with?) We had a gorgeous […]

Look out for my ad running this month on Crafster ! I’m also reorganising the site a bit… Can’t wait for the new layout !! In recent news, the lovely Emmie‘s done it again ! After the starting a Knitalong for the Isabeau purse, she’s started one for the Tote ! A new pattern will […]

Well well .. Thanks for your sweet comments guys ! And as you’re asking, the ultrasound went fine, the baby still needs to turn down (but I’m only due in another month and a half). Other than that, it’s all good. Another big baby too (estimated 3.9 kg at due date !) but it went […]

Funny how lots of us seem to have started pretty much at the same time… but today is my “blogiversary” ! Yep,made the big jump a year ago today. And I can tell you I didn’t feel very comfortable with this blogging/posting on forums thing at the time… That’s another great thing with blogging, the […]

Hope you all had a happy Easter week-end ! I was lucky we only left for Grenoble on sunday because I don’t think there’s any way I could have sent my submission in time otherwise… ! Apparently they never received as many as this time. So really… all I hope for is to know soon […]

The Knitty submission piece I mean. I’m done with the first half of it, and pretty happy. I love the process, knit, see how it could be improved, frog, reknit, rethink of yet more refinements… Did a lot of that with the chokers as well, and it’s so satisfying to see a cleaner end result.. […]

I found the darn food-coloring, in … the kitchen cabinet !???§!!! I had looked everywhere in the yarn department !!! Anyway. So I dyed more yarn on wenesday. Dyed or re-dyed. Got some lovely results too, although I still need to buy more to perfect one lot. The cotton came out a real nice green […]
