I loved knitting every stitch! From the first to the very last, this little bolero/gilet was truly refreshing and re-energizing.
I really enjoyed knitting this shawl and the result is even better than I had imagined. A LARGE, warm, comfortable and sunny light shawl, perfect to go with all my clothes.
One of the things I love most about my work as a designer is seeing YOU reinterpret my patterns. Here are a few examples to inspire you the next time you’re looking for a two-tone brioche shawl pattern. — PS: If you’d like to have your photos included in future Jolis Tricots, don’t forget to share them on IG!
Just before the vacations, in December, I really wanted to put a new project on my needles. A simple, no-brainer knit from a single skein. And for once, not a sock. While browsing Ravelry, I found the pattern for Heidi Alander’s Eyeblink shawl. Lots of stockinette, an easy-to-follow rhythm of increases that form a pretty crescent shape, and a lace repeat that’s ultra-simple yet still interesting to knit. Charming prospect, isn’t it?
I’m always eager to see what a pattern knitted in a different wool and color will look like. With lace and twists all the more so this time. And I love them all! 😍 Which version is your favorite?
On December 8, I took part in my first knitting event as an exhibitor! And let me tell you, I loved it! All the details about this day and all my purchases in detail 😉
This is not a triangular shawl. It has no foam-stitch edging. But I love him with love. I’ve called it Falling Slowly and you can find the pattern on Ravelry.
Clouds and drops go well together, don’t they? While they may not be your best friends when they’re in the sky (or falling on us), I’m pretty sure you’ll love wrapping them around your feet. I’ve called this pattern Soaked to the Skin and it’s available for free on the Knotions website.

Being a solopreneur can sometimes feel like being a one-woman band, where you have to do everything yourself. Which can be complicated… and fun!
I hate it when fruit all decides to ripen at the same time, don’t you? Let me introduce you to the majestic Clafoutis!
Sometimes colors “speak” to me and I immediately know which ones to use. And sometimes this is far from the case. I’d originally chosen colors that looked good together “on paper”, but clashed when knitted together. I was pretty sure of myself every time and almost started knitting straight away, without making any samples. In the end, I’m glad I took the time to test them out, and it’s proof once again that making samples can save many hours of work!
