Oceane


My little knitting savant daughter was so excited that y'all liked her purse. She wanted me to tell you thank you.

Some of y'all who have been reading my humble blog for a while know that I love French Girl patterns. I re-discovered this pattern and yarn in my stash over the weekend and whipped it up in less than three days. I apologize for the sorry excuse for a picture. Here is a better one. I'm so excited to be able to carry the entire French Girl line. I think this will make a nice store display.

Pattern: Oceane by French Girl
Yarn: Rowan Linen Print #349
Needles: Susan Bates #19 staights
Comments: Gorgeous pattern, well written, and a quick knit. This would be a good first lace pattern. This pattern would be gorgeous in Kid Silk Haze using a double strand.

That is so pretty! Now, that is a more practical scarf for my locale than the big ol' wool thing I'm working on now! I seem to have delusions that I live somewhere cold.... I do believe I must make Oceane!

I didn't realize at first from the picture how big it is -- that's lovely! And just the right warmth level for you folks down in Texas. :)

Oceane is gorgeous!! Beautiful lace and the yarn is so pretty. That would be a perfect airy wrap for Hawaii, too. ;-) With all that you have going on, I'm amazed that you still find time to knit! You and Sheryl are amazing! Take care, Amy! :-)

Is there a french girl book? Or is it just a line of patterns? I thought you posted about a book once, but I can't remember ;) You've got me all intrigued now. =)

Interesting that elegance many times means simplicity married to delicate.

LAH-ver-ly =o)

Very nice! I love lace scarves. And your daughter's purse is amazing. I'm counting the days until Sydney is coordinated enough to knit (without killing herself or her brother with the needles).

Don't you just love stash shopping? Oceane looks great. You are a walking French Girl billboard! ;)

(I hope this means Yarntopia will be carrying these patterns.)

I sent my sister your website for the store. She is having kittens!!! She lives off Mason at Provencial. You will be on her way home. She is already promising pressies.
Let's see...open in April? I will have to plan a spring visit to sis.
