Home

We've home and tomorrow the kids will be at school again. Twins are getting in primary school for the first time!! This summer, I've been weaving, sewing, knitting... and even embroided. I've woven several baby blankets that I may sell on etsy or here....

Moving slowly...

There are many things moving here, but lots of them are moving slowly. Like the fylingdales (ravelry link, a great model), waiting after a fair isle project and Ysolda's doll. The wool is Green Mountain Spinnery Mohair and I love it... I don't use a spare...

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...

The end of the end of summer #2

Yes! Summer is still ending... Proof: this tomatos from the garden. The new shawl is delicious, you'll find it here on Ravelry and here in french. As it ends with garter sticth, I'll use it as an alibi for Tricot 13... Oui! L'été n'en finit plus de finir......

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...

Heavenly

What do you do when there is only 9 skeins left of a delighfull Jamieson's "Fjord" tweed? And that the weather gets really really cold and rainy in Paris... at least for a few days. Each skein is only 25g (2 oz), and it is either too much or too few to...

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...

Fir Cones...

... are spreading on cotton. I knit my fine lace cardigan when the weather is hot, and otherwise a very warm sweater from "A Fine Fleece". Maybe you'll see them both in September. I wish you pleasant summer holidays if you get some! Des "pommes de pain"...

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...

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...

hand sewing

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...

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...

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...

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?...

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!...
