The Crinkly Scarf

Thursday, October 28th, 2004

Question: What can I do with one ball of Colinette Mezzotint in the Morocco colourway?

Answer: How about using it to knit Marie’s crinkly scarf?

[NOTE: True colours are much nicer than they appear here on your monitor]

I loved the crinkly look of her “echarpe étroite” (narrow scarf) and decided to make my own not-as-narrow version.

Here’s my […]

Another Knitless Weekend

Monday, October 25th, 2004

Ever since coming to Burgundy, back in October 2001, I’ve wanted to run the 10 K portion of the Marathon des Grands Crus.

So, instead of missing it again this year, I impulsively signed us (my husband and myself) up for it last weekend.

There it is. FCEK Cardi #6, Double Cables Cardigan, Double Duck, Bleu Canard, Blue Duck…

Pants that fit.

Life in Dijon doesn’t get more exciting than this, folks!

Now I feel silly complaining so much about not finding clothes to fit me.
I guess I wasn’t looking hard enough.
I got these at H & M and even hemmed them myself.

Watch Out Phildar

Tuesday, October 12th, 2004

There’s a NEW yarn shop in town!

A few weeks after the second Phildar shop closed in downtown Dijon, a new yarn shop has opened to take its place.

If you’ve ever been to my Dijon site you’ll recognize Planète Laine from my Best of Dijon list.
I used to have to go to Paris or drive an […]
