Chouette: Wool 100%

Last week I saw this film: Wool 100%  directed by Mai Tominaga. So yeah, the film is a little weird and obviously not to seat on the sofa with a big pop-corn aside but totally recommended to watch it while knitting.

Has lot of sweet moments, it is like a fairy tale in a crazy way.

I’ll let you the trailer for you to decide if follow the craziness of Tominaga or not.

Another poncho made to order

I’m loving more and more doing special orders…. first because they are all customers coming back, and afterwrads because they know what they want…

I worked with cotton and fantasy yarns, and even cotton seems to be more for summer, this in particular gave me all the sensation of being in winter (and also the weather in Paris, but this is another story…)

So if you are fancy a beautiful and original garment you know that you can have your original one… it took me 10 days to have the yarns, knitting it and sell it…

A funky poncho

I loved the idea of making a collection of ponchos with different styles for this summer and once I had them finished I realized that it can be a good garment for any season… it depends with what other clothes you combine it…
So this is made in a vivid pink cotton that reminds me a “framboise ice-cream” and I mixed it with other fibers, I think is really trendy… isn’t it?

A custom poncho

This is the first time I make something to order and in a virtual way… and I have to say I’m overwhelmed with the experience!

A client who bought a bag from my shop at Dawanda last year ordered this poncho she saw I had sold out two months ago.

It was great not only because I love when a client come back, but also I love when they know what they want.

So… I bought the yarns and they arrived really fast from England. I started to work after she approved the colors (I sent two options and she could choose) and she decided the palest ones (I agree this is a beautiful combination…) pale green cotton, lilac ribbon bamboo and a crazy yarn full of texture and colors… lovely!

So, here it is… and now the poncho is going to live in Austria… thanks to this kind customer

Knitting outdoors

The last weekend the weather was lovely in Paris (sometimes with clouds around, but that’s normal here)… so we went

 to the park in our neighbourhood and enjoyed being there… I always regret not to having a termic bottle for my “mate” (is an argentinian beverage) because it’s hard to conceive going to the park and not to drink

them!! So, I take the chance to show you a little bit of one of my new project (it is a “springy” shrug in this vibrant and lovely blue cotton) and it

 seems is going to be fantastic to wear…
