Cria from Ysolda, first step into knitting a cardigan just for me

It looks very difficult at first but if you follow the instructions, it is actually very easy and the result is wonderful.

MORE TO COME...

Fun on the internet...☺

Lately, I am having fun with the following web sites.

   It is a great web site that let you make boards of all you favorite stuffs on the net. It is awesome, I love it.







It is like Ravelry and Etsy together. Love that you can find the pattern at the same time as the finish product. Moreover the site is full of great workshop and online classes.


Then while researching some new technics, I found out my blanket was listed on a couple of great website. I thought I would share it here.

Great web site full of tips. I love their tutorials, project ideas and inspiration.

New fine alpaca baby cardigan

One of my dreams is to make clothes for children. Here is the first piece of the 2012 collection.

I have just finished a new pattern for a new baby cardigan in the finest alpaca/wool blend.

Why alpaca for children clothes?

Because alpaca is the one of the warmmest, softest and lightest yarn. It is also a stronger, non scratchy yarn, ideal for multiple washing and sensitive baby skin.

The cardigan is available in 7 different colors, 4 sizes

Sky, mustard, rasberry, taupe, fox, mouse, navy

3-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months, 18-24 months

The first sample can be seen here

Soon available in the Etsy store

Un de mes rêves est de créer des vêtements pour enfants. Voici la première pièce de la collection 2012.

Je viens juste de finir un nouveau modèle de gilet pour bébé dans un mélange alpaga/laine ultra fin.

Pourquoi de l'alpaga pour des vêtements d'enfants?

Car l'alpaga est une des laines les plus chaudes, douces, et légères qui soit. C'est aussi la plus résistante et la moins irritante,  idéale pour les peaux sensibles des bébés et les nombreux passages en machine.

Le gilet est disponible dans 7 couleurs, 4 tailles

Ciel, moutarde, framboise, taupe, renard, souris, marine

3-6 mois, 6-12 mois, 12-18 mois, 18-24 mois

Un premier exemple peut être vu ici
