I can’t tell you how many times I’ve started and then restarted this project.
Well, yes, actually I can tell you (the front piece, at least, would’ve been finished by now had I kept knitting without ripping out).
After my successful swatch I became obsessed with all that stockinette stitch where instead those drop stitches should have […]
I sure wish I had more of it.
Look what I finally figured out tonight while watching Gangs of New York.
By the way: Who else here agrees with me that Leonardo DiCaprio was especially sexy in this role?
My problem was in the first row of the pattern:
I got confused by the instructions […]
As you can see from my photo, I’ve given up on the drop stitch design in my Licorne top.
Part of my anxiousness to get this project on the way was that I was hoping to finish it by this weekend.

So, I went ahead and started making my Licorne vanille project.
I hope I can keep up with all that row and column […]
Just last week I was complaining about the cold weather in France.
Well, the weather seems to have changed as quickly here as it does back home in Massachusetts.
We finally have some perfect summer weather: 80’s and sunny.
Perfect weather for sorbet and thoughts of last year’s record-breakingly hot summer when I made my own […]
