Crochet cat. These things are addicting to make.

In front of my shop...

#westknits comes to Paris to hang and knit. Always a good time.

We are each working on our respective homework assignments. #maximilieng #crochet #loisivethe

I’m starting to love blocking as much as weaving in the ends of a project. Knitting isn’t as relaxing for me as it was in the past but I am finding the process of knitting a project and getting through the stages more rewarding. Now I can go work on my pleasure crochet project without any guilt. My work #knitting is done!

Picked up my Giverny shawl. I've decided to make it massive so when I'm knitting on the couch I can wrap myself up. Feeling slightly frustrated with my knitting lately. I have a lot of work knitting to do and feel like I haven't knit for myself in ages. I guess it's going on seven years now since I opened my yarn and tea shop. You know... Yarn shop owners don't knit as much as you think they do. It's really frustrating and paradoxical. I hadn't touched my crochet shawl in months and just last week my sister wanted to learn to crochet so I pulled Giverny out again to give it a go. It's the first thing I've worked on in the last few months that has really made me happy. Sign I need a vacation? More like sign of me being stressed. Hopefully the stress will pass soon and I'll be able to find a happy balance in my knitting again.

Back from my holidays with a freshly cast off scarf and tan lines. Back to Paris where it's bleary and cold already. Bring on #knitting season, y'all!
