Hi eveybody, so I think I’ve fixed some things around here. For some reason there was some automatic rewriting of my main url (chezplum.com becoming chezplum.com/blog). Seems it blocked some feedreaders, and I’m hoping this was the reason for the bug in my pattern-download system. (if you still have any trouble uploading a pattern, please […]

After just finishing one “bandwagon knit”, I’ve just started on another one: The moment I saw the February lady sweater by Flintknits the other day in my bloglines, I started looking for my needles and appropriate yarn ! When I started, there was 6 projects in Ravelry.. there’s now over a hundred, and it’s in […]

The Dancing Poppies stole is coming along nicely. I love working on it both because of the yummy yarn and because I don’t have to “think” on that project. Also pictured is a new project/pattern I’m working on, for a kid’s pixie hoodie sweater with long sleeves. Of course you’ve noticed that I started on […]

We saw my niece last week-end. I’m so glad she used her new blankie right away ! :-) I started some little flowers because they’re so gorgeous. Might use them to patch a pair of jeans, or maybe as appliquà©s on a cushion or something. Tweaking the pattern lightly, details on Ravelry. I finally got […]

So, I’ve edited the Roselette pattern and sent the new version to all the people who bought it. If you haven’t received yours, please contact me ! Check also your spam folder… altough I really hope it didn’t get notified as spam !! :-/ (basically there was a mistake in the shells section causing the […]

Yesterday I had a sudden revelation, triggered by the great feedback of one my testers for the Violaine top. I’ve found a better way around the little design challenge involved by changing from crocheting in rows then in rounds (for the top bodice section) and yet keeping the same look… I’ve tried it on the […]

I just asked Prune to take pictures of my nearly-finished Violaine top. She kind of did okay for a 3-year old… ;-) Plus I need to leave some suspense before the final photos of the finished top..! :-P I would have been finished except I had to frog once more.. It needed an extra round […]

Getting closer on the Violaine [vee-o-lene] top. I’m really happy with the top part now but I’m not sure the bottom lacy part captures the spirit of the Roselette very well.. So I might frog some again… I have just started a second one with some old stash yarn to see if the changes I […]

Last week I worked on math a couple nights. Then I started ripping about half of the Violaine top. I guess I’m altogether excited about this design and afraid to see it turning not as it should… I added a couple rounds to it yesterday night during our SnB meeting though. I’ll try to stick […]

I’ve started a new little thing, will you guess which pattern it is ? :-P It started as a granny square. It seems to become a hat… And yes, I’m using one of my new wooden hooks. Just as I thought it’s not my fastest hook but the pleasure of hooking with such a beautiful […]
