I’m pleased and relieved to announce that into the deep sea (woods) pattern is live now, at last!
The test knit was over a week ago but I couldn’t take nice pictures to show you both the Sea version and the Woods version of the sweater. That’s finally done on a less cloudy day and the pattern is available on my website and on Ravelry.

Okay, I said I’d catch up with my delay in posting, so when I publish a design, I should write a post about it, right?
I published Alexandre II a few days ago on Ravelry. This is a boys cardigan, worked from the top down, with stripes on the body and sleeves.
But why II, the second, you may say?
Because, of course, Alexandre I does exist.

I know I’m a couple of posts behind about my designs. To catch up with my delay, I’m going to talk first about my Tabbies pattern that I recently re-knitted, about their making-of and after.
Tabbies socks were born of an urge of having socks wearable with the thongs I wear in warmer months. But wearing thongs with socks sounds a fashion faux pas to you?

I’m really really happy to announce that Grown-up Starry pattern is out now!
As you may know, I began designing it in 2016, after publishing Starry pullover for girls. With the experimental armhole, the disaster (I haven’t shared this but the first set-in sleeve simple I knit got felted after blocking!), the journey was long but I finally arrived at destination, and am feeling relieved.

Hi everyone!
I have to say again long time no post, but I’ve got good news this time: the sweater I was making with De Rerum Natura’s Albertine in the last post was done, here’s how it looks like!

Some of you may know this, I have a new pattern published on Ravelry.
It’s a pullover pattern for babies and toddlers (6 months to 4 years) and you who know my daughter turned 10 could wonder why I made a sweater for tiny tots.

When I published Starry pullover – a beaded Christmas pullover for girls -, some knitters asked me if there would be an adult version. I said to myself “Why not?” and began to imagine what it would look like.
The grown-up Starry should be of course in Quilted lattice stitch. It should have waist shaping and a larger neck opening for a feminine silhouette. And the sleeves? I don’t know why but I thought immediately that they should be long. And this is so to speak the starting point of experimentation which lasted a couple of months.

Since we moved into our house 2 years ago, my daughter wanted a knitted blanket. Our new house is indeed very old (built in 1900’s) and it’s colder than in the flat we lived before, which was much older (1850’s!) but heated also by your neighbors.
But a blanket is huge and means lots of time and work. Like all of you, I want to knit many things in winter – often much more than what I can -, and I selfishly avoided saying Yes last season.
But this winter, we had a couple of cold waves from Northern Europe – brrr! – and I had to admit that she needed a blanket.

I’m at last pleased to announce that my Starry pullover is now available, on this website or Ravelry.

Yeah I know it’s not seasonal at all, but I’m introducing you the pullover I knitted for my daughter for last Christmas (lol), because I’m going to look for the test knitters shortly.
