After multiple practice sessions (yellow and white swatches), my first cable project is underway. Based on the Johnny pattern by Quince & Co, my husband requested the addition of a vintage Celtic cable motif. Happiness 🤗 🧶! #knitting #knitsky #showmeyourknits #cableknit #learningtoknit

First time I made this Mallahide (on Etsy) I loved it. Made it again a few times since… 🧶 #knit

Sometimes we just need to hold something beautiful… My latest work in progress… Sweater vest for this winter in #Malabrigoyarn #worsted #merinowool ! Free pattern can be found at www.laines-plasssard.com #knitting #beautifulthings #fiberarts
Knit sweater project that is in progress. It features soft wool that is dyed in a variety of both warm and cool natural colors that resemble the browns and greens in a forest of trees and the blues of a stream or lake.

Elle est belle la Bretagne! #springtime #Brittany #Bretagne #Cotesd’Armor #myhappyplace #lilac #CapFrehel
Fragrant purple Lilac bush blooms in the warm sunshine.A small thirteenth century stone chapel overlooks the beach. Through the pine trees, the Cap Frehel lighthouse, which sits on a high cliff, is visible in the distance. In a pink stone wall, an old garden gate with rusted hinges and chipped white paint is closed. Behind it, in the garden, a purple and sweet smelling lilac bush blooms in the bright sunshine.Looking out from the Point aux Chèvres there is a view of a crescent shaped beach  to the left. The water is light blue near the beach and dark blue further from shore. The sun is shining with Cap Frehel visible in the distance.

After years of #crochet, I decided to learn continental knitting! There is still a ways to go, but I’m really enjoying the process (and my Lantern Moon needles are amazing)! 🧣🧶 #knittersofbluesky #knitting #sweaters #knitsweater #knitsky #therapy #artsandcrafts #fiberarts

Good to know! It would be sad if, after 35 years, three kids, 4 dogs, and seven countries, a sweater was the breaking point🤣

Knitting, crocheting, and especially spinning make me feel like I am participating in ancient traditions. #fiberart #knitting #crochet #weaving 🧶

This fine Roman fresco once decorated a palatial building on the south bank of the Thames in London. When the building was demolished in the fourth century, the plaster fell face down and lay undisturbed in a medieval garden until they were rediscovered in 1983 #FrescoFriday #FindsFriday
A Roman fresco painted in vivid shades of red and yellow with architectural features and a cupid standing at the centre.

I freely admit that in 57 years I have never asked myself what a “calling bird” is; I didn’t care, but now I do (and it ranks right up there with my “pain au chocolate” or “chocolatine” feelings)! #twelvedaysofchristmas #collybirds #christmasspirit #feelings #painauchocolat #chocolatine 🎄🕊️🍫🥐

Living today reminiscing about a house I stumbled on during a trip to Belgium years ago that asked people to pop their worries on a window to reduce the weight they had on us individually. We all need a bit of sharing the load to make it easier to carry.
A squished terraced house in typical historic Belgian style with a coach house entry beside the front doors. The ground level window is almost entirely covered in bright yellow post it notes that have been stuck on in both a clear pattern and a haphazard slap onto the window.
