Intro; 1. Thank yous; 2. Sewing Projects; 3. Knitting Projects; 4. Spinning Ventures; 5. Literature
1. Thank yous:
– My friend and fellow podcaster Rebecca (rebeccawip on Ravelry) gifted me the new and very lovely Rosy Days collection by Cecily Glowik McDonald, to make the start of term easier 🙂
– Martha kindly sent me the beautiful Acer Cardigan, a design by Amy Christoffers, as a thank you for the podcast.
2. Sewing projects (5:37):
– First I mention the Knitmore Girls, as Jasmin and Andrew are expecting as well.
~ 2. a. Planning a wardrobe: my motto is Functional, Fitting, and Fun!
– Functional: shades and styles that work together. Check out the Pattern Review contests, where they often have wardrobe contests (not at the moment though), whose rules can help you build your wardrobe on other occasions.
– Fitting: your occupations, your complexion, your shape, your personal style – it has to be you!
– Fun: in making and wearing these designs and fabrics. You will get so many moments of joy wearing your wardrobe and remembering the making of these clothes everytime you put them on.
– Jalie Patterns.
– My blog post on Paris addresses to shop for fabric; the shops I mention in the podcast are Tissus Reine and Le Marché Saint-Pierre (Tissus Dreyfus), both of which were grimly deficient in knit fabrics when I visited.
– Mamzelle Fourmi (= “Miss Ant”) online fabric shop. French, and offers good quality fabrics – hurray!
– My first maternity top is Jalie 2788. Pictures forthcoming very shortly.
– I also just adapted Simplicity 2580 into a maternity dress.
I can share my detailed wardrobe plans in a separate blog post, if there is some interest.
3. Knitting projects (32:00)
– Finished project (knit in the Peak District): Cardigan à empiècement arrondi (= “round yoke cardigan”). From Astrid le Provost’s Tricots intemporels pour bébés (= “Timeless knits for babies”). Knit with Guéret merino wool, by Fonty (French brand).
Similar designs in English are: Round Yoke Toddler Sweater; Seamless Yoked Baby Sweater; Baby Willow Set.
– Sunnyside Baby Cardigan by Tannis Lavallée. I’m knitting the lace version, in the alpaca by La Droguerie.
4. Spinning Ventures (42:50)
5. Literature (51:04)
Currently listening to a Librivox recording: The Semi-Detached House, by Emily Eden. A fun, lighthearted novel of the late 19th century, wonderfully read by Elizabeth Klett.
I would love to see your wardrobe plan, I am excited to see you wardrobe pieces as well! Congratulationson your baby.
