We are halfway through our week at
Les Menuires (which for a first timer outside Australian ski slopes beginner skier is a bit overwhelming..in a good way). I am also probably half way through my scarf for Elliot. I'm calling it my sampler scarf because I'm making it up as I go along and I thought I might try out a few different stitches on it but so far I've only had the courage to use stockinette, knit and moss stitch. Oh and today I put a button hole in it so he would be able to wrap it through. The hole is super dodgy so I might need to reinforce it. Notice, I've just gone for the arty snow shot (with my phone sadly rather than my camera) disguising the button hole for now.
Despite
Mademoiselle La Droguerie suggesting that the Alpaca would be the right wool for the scarf I am having my doubts about the itchiness on a 4 year old.
My interest in knitting as my holiday sewing replacement might be waning however as I have now become fascinated with embroidery and particularly after seeing the work of
Penny Leaver Green on
Kickcan and Conkers last night. I might need to see what I can find in Strasbourg when we return...
But regardless, my list of sewing projects in the pipeline continues to grow as more and more great patterns are released. Social media is awash with excitement over the new
Deer and Doe patterns and with good reason. They are so lovely. I will probably buy the
Datura, but could easily buy the others.. particuarly the
reglisse dress.
