My life as a designer, one stitch at a time 🧶🐑 The most-read posts of the month, my non-conclusive test of embroidery on knitting, my learning to write a cardigan pattern, my readings on darning, Elsa’s shawl, and all the projects I have on the needles.
It’s possible to read and knit. The sentence I never thought I’d write. I’ve changed my mind and now think it’s just as possible to do Knitflix as Tricolivre. If you’d like to try your hand at knitting, here are a few ideas to make things easier for you.
I think the reason I love knitting socks so much is because I have a passion for heels. Transforming a simple yarn into a finished piece, giving it shape through decreases or increases and volume with shortened rows is still as magical for me even after all these years.

The minute cake is the cake that will taste like my summer vacations for the rest of my life, I think. I’ve been trying to find this recipe for a long time but haven’t been able to put my finger on it. My madeleine de Proust XXL version.

I recently discovered a passion for bird photography and realized that knitting is a hobby that can be endlessly combined with other activities, such as birdwatching. Knitting is a great way to have fun while doing something useful, creating your own bespoke wardrobe and staying warm.
When I knit, I choose patterns that look complicated but are actually easy to memorize, and I take the opportunity to admire birds in their natural habitat, whether in a park or from my window. I’ve recently been able to observe many different species.
Some of my knitted creations have even been inspired by these little birds over the years 🐤
Over the past few days, I’ve been curious to find out which of my previously published patterns are your favorites. So I’ve been running my
