Happy Easter !

Hello ! How are you doing ?

Of course Easter is the time for family réunions, chocolates, egg hunt... In addition of that, in Italy and in France (perhaps in your country too ?) it is a longer weekend than usually. It's wonderful, with three days off, we have more time to sew, knit, cook.... !!!

I've finished my blue Topiary scarf. The model is Marilyne a friend of Dany and me and a companion of our visits in Sainte Marie aux Mines for the Carrefour Européen du Patchwork exhibition. She has kindly accepted to wear the scarf so I can take pictures. 

I couldn't stay without having something to knit.  I dived into my   boxes and bags and found a very thin thread (silk and alpaca)  and started a little shawl for the spring. 

It has been knitted in no time.

I

It is transparent and lightweight. 
I like to wear such little things  on a dress or a blouse. 

















You can find the pattern on this site : http://lecomptoir.canalblog.com/archives/2009/10/13/15414571.html

 My next knitting project is...... a big scarf, a wrap !!!


I have not pattern. I started with a knitting stitch I found in the book "300 poins de tricot".

The yarn I'm using is the same as  this one I used for the little blue shawl (silk and alpaca) but in a purple color.


I don't know yet if I'll use this stitch for all the wrap or if I'll made strips with several stitches...

New year, new projects

Hi !

I wish that after a so tragic and so sad beginning here, 2015 will be for everyone a peaceful year, that freedom, intelligence and heart will win the war against blindness and hate. 

January is the time to start new projects.

We'll have all the year to finish them !  

Hum, actually I have lots of unfinished projects I started last year, two years ago, etc... 

I think that I'd feel lost if I had not several knitting, sewing, quilting projects to finish. 

I'm not worried, this time won't come as I'm always tempt by a pattern, a quilting fabric, a beautiful yarn...

I started   knitting a cable and  lace wrap. 

The pattern is "Topiary" from Michèle Wang and I found it on the "Ravelry" website.

It is  an easy pattern and as the yarn is pretty thick, the wrap get bigger very quickly. 

... 

I think that I can wear it this winter !
