Tricot'13

Tricot'13
Yep, that was a first for me, a common project by La Droguerie, with Tricot 13.However I am sort of disappointed after having dreamed and knitted so much, because as expected I runned out of yarn. Nothing or not much left to end this coat. To be continued,...

Summer in April...

Summer in April...
Hello! Weather was beautiful, the house was working well and we had great time. Now I see why southern girls sew more than they knit, for obvious reasons. For 15 days, it was summer in April, how lucky! I came back to rose yarn today... Have a great week!...

Wish list
The weather here is not so good, and let me plenty of time to look around what I wish to buy for our house or to offer. Of course there is also moments where I can knit, who knows what size I will finally obtain for that sweater... What do you think?...

White - First communion

White - First communion
Nothing was simplier, but it asked me time though. My sewing machine quit about half an hour from being done. I finished it by hand... It will be completed by a nice, white dress. The ugly weather outside forced me to consider taking back a one year old...

Vanilla!

Vanilla!
Yesterday I received a beautiful surprise from Enora, who lives in La Réunion, many (many!) sweet and fat vanilla pods. Her mail was so perfumed that our living room smelled vanilla the hole day! I made vanilla yoghourt in new, blue pitchets I got from...

September and its post-summer delights... A mirabelle pie from Nancy, a fir cone (maybe I'll be able to grow a tree from it?), and a scratchy scruby bath perfect after sun and sea. From right to left: beautiful soft blue soaps from Graine de Pastel, black...

Weaving

Weaving
I use leftovers from former projects. It takes a long to prepare and plan, but once on the loom weaving goes very fast! Pour tisser, j'utilise les restes de mes projets... Un reste de pull pour enfant, de gilet Rowan, d'écharpes au crochet. Une fois passé...

Cochenille Rose

Cochenille Rose
When the weather allows it, it becomes a joy to spin and dye. I used alpaga, lamb wool, CVM wool and the gorgeous cochenille for the rose dye bath. I don't know yet whether I'll use this for weaving or knitting! Dès que le temps le permet, c'est un vrai...

Pottery

Pottery
A ray of sunshine, and simple pleasures are illuminated... A bouquet of leaves collected by children at the park, small artichokes, a hand-made colander. Thank you Geneviève for your pottery lessons! I love this unperfect shape under beautiful, white...

Fir Cones...

Hello! Last week I started to line a hand spun, dyed, woven scarf. It's a beautiful scarf with mohair, dyed with cochenille, but it scratches a little the delicate neck of my daughter. I had a silk coupon which is perfect with this gorgeous rose! Have...

Starting a new weaving project

Starting a new weaving project
My weaving is over, yet I'm starting a new one with handspun yarns. Will this trick work? I mean, to tye each new thread to an old one? And will I succeed in weaving soft handspun yarns...? J'ai terminé mon tissage, il doit y en avoir pour près de 4m,...

The end of the end of summer #1
Summer is reeeally getting old here in Paris. Sometimes in the afternoon, it's still hor but in the morning cold and gray. Fruits of summer and autumn are getting mixed and I sometimes wish I already have a new shawl. I picked up a worsted organic merino...

The end of the end of summer #2

The end of the end of summer #2

Textured Shawl
It's already over, the textured shawl didn't last long. Only 5 little skeins were left, organic merinos from Treliske. Well I am really sorry about the pictures due to grey and grey sky. But I assure you that the shawl is just appropriate for today, and...
