Right after I finished Oscar’s Wyatt, I begun to knit a cardigan for Capucine… The pattern was in my pattern-to-knit-one-day list for a while : Arlo, by Michèle Wang in the BT Kids Collection from Brooklyn Tweeds and I used De Rerum Natura Gilliatt… I think this yarn has a perfect quality-price ratio for kids garnment !

After Capucine’s Vertices, let’s continue to go back in time… This time, may I present you asweater I knitted for Oscar…

In the next few articles I’m going to publish here, I will try to cath up on some projects I knitted in the last few months (years ?)… Let’s begin with a shawl I made during Spring 2017… Yes, 2017 ! No, I’m not late…

I met Lilian and Marjolaine through Angèle (from Madlaine) during Spring 2017. They are fonding members of the association Une Figue dans le Poirier and supports really beautiful values. As luck would have it, this encounter was the perfect thing for me, at the perfect time, and it seemed like the obvious thing for me. Since then, we have set up and are working on multiple projects together, but not only. A true, real friendship has developped between us and I am proud to have count them as close friends… I think I will tell you more about them and their association (with an interview maybe ?), because it is a project I really like and support, but that is not the subject today. In December, during a meeting at their place, I discovered the firsts knives forged by Lilian, in his forge he had just installed in their place. I loved instantly this high-quality hand-crafted work and I told myself I would someday buy one of his knives. That’s when Lilian offered me a deal : he would forge me a knife if I knitted him a hat ! As you can tell, I accepted !

What happened before : Cosy (you) During Winter, Capucine kept growing (No ? Yes !)… So, early in March, wanting to anticipate a little, I decide to knit her a new cardigan, one size bigger (8 yo for my 5-years-old girl…), in a thinner and lighter yarn to make a spring-summer cardi.

Back in October, Capucine also needed a new sweater… (Pictures were taken last week, tough, completely off-season…) Why do kids grow up ? I barely finish one sweater that they already need a new one one size bigger… Who am I kidding ? I love knitting for them, it’s fast, and, as long as they appreciate it, I should enjoy it because, some people say it doesn’t last long…

Let’s go back in time a little, a few months, more precisely in October, when Fall was here, cold settling in and Capucine and Oscar desesperately needed new sweaters for the coming winter ! I dove into my (long) pattern-to-try-one-day queue on Ravelry : different patterns from Brooklyn Tweed Kids collection were there and I was thinking  I wanted to make one of them…

In March, I was lucky to test knit the lovely baby set created by Karen (Oomieknits) : Mavis. She published it in April and I’m a wee bit late to show you my project. It is not because I didn’t finish it : it was a quick knit, but I didn’t took pictures of it until yesterday (we were on vacations before)… But here it is !
