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 […]

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.. […]

So here I was this morning. Thinking “Phew”, I’ve nearly got all of it in there ! (except the crap of course, which shall stay in my plasticy 5-drawer thing; and the rest, still stored in Grenoble.. ;-) ) Please ignore the mess btw, it’s an in-progress pic… But I still had that feeling, like, […]

Yeah ! Can you believe Emmie started a knitalong on Crafster for the Isabeau purse ?!! She made a very nice one too, as well as dancingbarefoot : see the new pics in my Gallery ! Which reminds me, I can’t wait for the first pictures of the totes, and more shrugs … I’m thinking […]

Good, so all the festivities are over and we can now go back to normal life.. ;-) P got new mittens, and DH a new hat (although he may well get others, that one is far from perfect. but at least it’s a hat, and it fits this time) and I now feel like making […]

Really, it’s not on purpose but it seems all my fos lately are in blue-greenish tones.. Not for lack of other colours in my stash though.. ;-) On saturday, I finally decided on the perfect use for that cotton yarn that I had been saving for a long time for THE right project (..plus what […]

Well, this is the beginning of my “fancy scarf”. And I know it doesn’t exactly look like a scarf, but hey, we’ll say it’s a “fashion not function” scarf !!! Actually, I meant to knit it instead of crochet, but seing my motivation for knitting lately, AND seing how late I was for this project, […]

… Yeah I know, it’s been been over a week now. But I made the conscious decision that I wouldn’t post until I had finished the Isabeau handbag at last, you know, the carrot thing… So anyhow, I did finish it yesterday, and then Blogger was down most of the day (which gave me some […]

So after 12 hours in the car yesterday, crossing pretty much all of France (from the ocean to like 60 km from the swiss border – that’s where we live !) we’re Home again ! I had like 60 mails in my inbox yesterday..!!! AND a great package waiting for me from Winnie, who sent […]
