Cette semaine

coucou, Emily est en croisière cette semaine, donc sauf avis de partantes, a priori il n'y a pas de rdv tricot cette semaine..

RDV de cette semaine

Coucou, juste un mot (un peu à la dernière minute, oups !) pour dire qu'on a avancé le rdv de cette semaine à ce soir mercredi au lieu du jeudi habituel ..

Juste au cas ou on aurait des visiteurs surprise !! :-P

Soirée d'hier- SnB night

Soirée Tricot-thé en anglais hier soir avec Emily et une nouvelle recrue, Mary, venue des environs de Bourg St Maurice .. Une excellente soirée, très très sympa, et on a même sorti les aiguilles ce coup ci ! (même si perso je n'ai fait qu'un ou deux rangs, il faut que je me trouve un tricot tout droit pour ces soirées sinon à chaque fois je me trompe, c'est dur de compter en même temps qu'on papote !!)

Merci à Mary pour sa visite, on espère te revoir dans le coin de temps en temps, et on viendra peut-être te faire un coucou fin aout !




Yesterday was our SnB night and we had a new recruit : Mary from around Brg St Maurice spent the evening with Emily and I. We had a great time chatting away .. and Hey, we probably already crossed paths in Wanaka, NZ a few years ago.. also Look, she made an Isabeau purse !! First time I meet in person sb who's knit something from my patterns...;-P

I'm so happy I've met those ladies (along with Berry, the 4th lady of our SnB, not there yesterday), it feels great both to make new friends and occasionally to talk about knitting, Etsy and all the blogosphere in general.. And Mary even showed us some tricks, it was nice to share knowledge..

Too hot to knit.

Last night, Sylvie and I met for a night of knitting. It'd been awhile since we'd seen each other so we spent most of the night chatting away. I had yet to start knitting a new project and was not thrilled that I brought wool yarn with me. It was too hot last night to touch wool. Really too hot to do anything, but sit still. I enjoyed sipping Orangina's and catching up with Sylvie. :)

P.S. Here's a photo of the scarf I gifted to someone yesterday afternoon before meeting Sylvie.

Oui je confirme on s'est gelé les fesses jeudi soir !!
Tricoter dehors en terrasse parraissait pourtant une bonne idée !

..sauf l'autre cretin aussi qui a essayé toute la soirée de démarrer sa mobylette à grands renforts de pétarade.. ;-)

Mais bon tout ça c'est pas grave parce qu'on a passé encore une très bonne soirée à pipeletter, tricoter, échanger des recettes de cuisine.. :-D

En revanche, AVIS : les 2 prochains rdv risquent d'être reportés,

A priori rdv de nouveau le 19 juillet ! (ou par là, il faut que je regarde quelle date est jeudi!)

C'est juin?

Last night, Sylvie and I met up again after I was gone for a couple weeks. Hopefully, someday soon the entire group will get to knit/crochet together (we missed you Berry!). This time, we decided to sit outside our meeting place and knit. Since it's summer and the nights are (supposed to be) warmer, than let's enjoy some knitting outdoors!

We froze our butts off.

We were drinking tisane and zipping/buttoning up our sweaters as far as possible in order not to freeze to death. But, it's June?

I'm currently working on a present for another volunteer I work with. A scarf. I missed her birthday while I was on vacation. It's time for me to branch away from scarves. But, I have no idea where to go...

Un cadeau pour ma mère.

Last night, was my first night with the Tricot Thé knitting group. I had a great time chatting and knitting. I did make a few mistakes that I briefly named after Sylvie (I name all my mistakes after the person who was talking to me at the time), but she quickly helped fix them so now they no longer exist. It was great to have a knitting expert nearby when I did make mistakes and couldn't figure out how I made them or how to correct them. This is a photo of a scarf I just finished today and will be giving to my mom when I see her next week while visiting the US. Sadly, the mohair in the yarn made me sneeze and I'm afraid it'll make her sneeze too. :(
