We’re not moving any more. They said other people were on higher priority than us. Which is ok, I just was a bit upset about the way they did it, all at the last minute and not even calling to cancel. We’re lucky to have such nice and understanding landlords..
Still waiting for my Kureyon to arrive, and I can’t even work on the capelet either: broke the plastic hook after row 4.. Argh !! So I’m waiting for a new one as well…
I’ll show a pic of the Pink Malabrigo instead… Made some progress on the back, should start the collar decreases soon.
Yesterday was “Artisa” day, the big Craft Fair in Grenoble I usually go to every year. My friend Anouchka couldn’t come, she’s pregnant with number 2 , yeah !
Anyhow, this year was a good year, I saw a lot of really nice people, was a nice change !! I wasn’t even sure to go back after last year… (Until I got a free pass from one of the potters I bought stuff from last year .. ;-P)
I bought this skirt from a fantastic lady, too bad she doesn’t have a website yet, I really love the things she makes !! It might not show on the pic, but the skirt in made in a heavy upholstery type velvet, with strands of boucl
That skirt is so cute! And I’m in love with the belt; I may have to try making one. 🙂
The skirt looks lovely, and warm. If you hadn’t said I would have guessed it was suede. The Art’Gens site is interesting. In the UK there is a movement called Childrens Scrapstores which organisations involved with children can join and get access to all sorts of ‘scrap’ Often really interesting stuff that is being thrown out by industry. I also used to visit a textile recycler before they changed their policy and stopped the general public coming in. There I could buy old (some new)clothes by weight. I still have about 250 silk shirts that I intend to do something woth some day. Also jumbers to felt and cut up. I LOVE recycling.
How are you getting on with the felting book? Or have you only really had a chance to look at it so far. You could do your own book pretty soon.
