Well, I can’t really show what I am frantically working on, but I am frantically working on it, be assured. At least, when I am not eating and sleeping, which I do an awful lot these days.
I have 3 deadlines in the near future, only one of the pieces is complete, one about half and the third is playing “2 steps forward, 3 steps backwards” with me. And then there’ll be all the patterns to finalize.
As always, when I have to stick to certain projects in order to be able to meet my deadlines, this is when I have the most ideas for future designs. I keep taking notes and making sketches which I put in a folder for later. It’s torture not to be able to at least swatch any of them right now.
Cecilia is done, too, but I still don’t have any buttons.

For the last couple of years, since we have kids really, we rented holidays homes like those you can find on Gîtes de France.
I think all of them, or at least most of them, had some crochet in the form of doilies. Even though I am personally no fan of doilies, I always found that they added some cosiness to the place. Here’s one of those we found this last holiday near Bayeux.
And don’t get me wrong, I love to see those, and I can totally appreciate every minute of work and the craftsmanship that went into it. It’s just that I wouldn’t know what to do with a doily in my own house.

Sorry for the long absence. Some little piece in my computer died and took my network and so my Internet connection right with it. A couple of days later, we went on a holiday to Normandy. Now I am back home, back on the Internet and am trying to catch up on e-mail, blogs, Ravelry etc.
Also, yarn for 2 projects with looming deadlines arrived during my absence. So I am rather busy.

I just finished a big project, a sweater; here are some of the ends. It’s all done. But I won’t show you. I have it submitted somewhere, so I can’t. But the husband will be very happy indeed, his grey sweater is seriously falling apart now and he desperately needed a new one.

Gerade fertig geworden, der Pulli für den Mann. Allerdings kann ich im Moment nicht mehr zeigen, da ich ihn zur Publikation eingereicht habe (weiß noch nicht, was daraus wird). Aber der Mann wird sich freuen. Sein grauer Pulli geht immer mehr kaputt und er brauchte dringend Ersatz.

Un pull terminé. Mai je ne peux rien vous montrer car je l’ai proposé à un magazine (je ne sais pas encore ce qui va se passer avec). Monsieur va être content, son pull gris tombe de plus en plus en miettes et il avait vraiment besoin d’un autre.
