Newsletter December 2014: Happy New Year!In the shop:I am happy to present my latest design, the knitted cowl Solfège:
Designing a knitted item is a fun little adventure for me (though I’m not giving up crochet anytime soon).This is a very simple stitch pattern, all in knit stitches. The buttons make it possible to wear the cowl in many different ways.More information in the shop.I am selling a new book – Madder Anthology I by Carrie Bostick Hoge:
This might be of special interest to my customers in Europe where the book is not so easily available.More information in the shop.I am carrying a new, superfine yarn, the 100% merino cobweb: 
At 1,500 m per 100 g skein, it’s an exquisite yarn for projects light as air. Currently available in cream and light grey.More information in the shop.On the blog: 
The big event on the blog during December was the Advent Calendar, which ran from the 1st to the 24th. Thank you to all who contributed to make this a success!A podcast episode in French: episode 35.Happy New Year 2015!As longtime subscribers will remember, the last newsletter of the year doesn’t contain a tutorial – it’s just a moment to reflect on the year that has passed, and on the year to come.2014 was a very eventful year, starting with the switch to a new web shop in January! During the first half of the year, I also participated in quite a large number of shows in France. After the summer, I scaled back on this part of my activity. It was a deliberate move to get more time for both administrative and creative work, and I intend to continue in this direction in the year to come.Many new patterns were published in the shop during the year, including three of my own. 
From left to right: the cowl Oona in tapestry crochet, the little Capelette shoulder warmer and the knitted Solfège cowl.And in Interweave Crochet last spring, my Buttercream Shawl:
