If starting a scarf seems like an impossible task, then maybe you need to start with what you have, maybe you could start with making a square...with the 8mm needles and yarn (that is the kit you would have recieved at the colour conference ) you can make a square to join with ours and together we can make blankets...if you don't have a kit, maybe we have one for you - you just need to ask - or maybe you know someone who was at the conference who would love to give it you....

Here is a scarf we've tried and tested using the Husky yarn at Monoprix it takes just 4 balls and will cost you 10€ . But of course you can get creative and choose yarns from any brand, we chose 8mm needles as it means it will go really quickly.( The sisterhood needles are 8mm so you might have to dig them out of the cupboard!) Voici une écharpe nous avons testé avec le fil Husky de Monoprix, ça prend 4 pelotes et coute 10€.

We are just a reflection, a representation of an image, an inversion of a reality truer than we can even begin to imagine. Do you see beyond the present, are your thoughts facing toward eternity? If we are merely a reflection, wouldn't it be something to be extremely reflective?! Have you noticed how reflective you are lately? Have you thought about what you might need to do to shine brighter? Are you standing in the light source? Sometimes I shine with the wind on my face. Sometimes I shine while riding a bicycle. Sometimes I shine when I find fashion books at my local library. Sometimes I shine when sushi is served on an electric conveyor belt. Sometimes I shine while laughing with a friend. Sometimes I shine while knitting in a café. Why do I shine at these things? Because I am thankful. Because I am alive. Because I know there is more to life than this. Because I know that this life is not about me. Because even though those things here and now may pass away, 3 things will re...

I know that I know stuff, but if I do nothing with what I know or what I can do then it's as if I know nothing and do nothing. At those times I probably sound like a clanging gong... So here is something I have known about for a while and as yet have done nothing with...  http://www.etsy.com/shop/choopieblu   A place where you can sell stuff that you've made, and make money and become famous for the hell of it. And so I continue with my waking and sleeping life, instead of making stuff I sleep, how about you? Lets stop with the sleeping and the administration and lets get on with making. Created to be creative, is my middle name. It'll never go out of fashion neither will you. Will you ring with me, do you have the time or inclination? Can we make something happen that will stand for all eternity...?

If you have the time, go see the film Julie and Julia. Why? Because it's sweet and enchanting, yes. But mostly because it might just inspire you to wake up tomorrow and do something to differently in order to set the wheels in motion for that thing you've been dreaming of, by doing it just one day at a time. I heard this morning from Terri Savelle , how do you eat an elephant? one bite at a time ... In the same vein as Mother Teresa said, " If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." It's no good being disappointed and disillusioned for lack of time, lack of money, lack of resources or even lack of encouragement and not doing anything as a result. Me moved, be passionate about something, let you passion drive you to things in ways you never imagined before. As Joyce Meyer recently said, "There is only one thing that I cannot do, and that is nothing" If you died today what would people the who knew you best and loved you m...

When I think about creation, I think about the beginning. Where will the idea come from, how will it develop into something worth doing? Does it really matter if my designs are as beautiful as I would like them to be? When I create something I want it to be a reflection of all that is beautiful, all that is good, whatever is pure, whatever is excellent. I want it to change my focus, from everything I am not, to everything that I can be. I want to see my creator. Creation is about bringing life to that which lies dormant, giving life where there was once no hope. So will you join me, on a journey that has no end, that will take us places we have never been before? Will you make a decision never to give up, to keep running even when it seems like it's over? This world needs many more bringers of hope. There are songs that need to be sung, pages that need to be filled with light...will you take up your pen and write? Paint pictures that speak more than a thousand words? Some g...

A dream without a plan is just a fantasy. A dream is today's fantasy for tomorrow. People without a vision perish. Write the vision down. Have a dream, have a plan, write it down (so you can see it even if you're busy and have to run quickly) and make it happen...if you aim for the stars, you may at least land on the moon...

I constantly worry about whether my blog will be perfect, and whether you will like it, and whether it is good enough, and as a result I leave out all the fleeting thoughts which remain incomplete and thus undiscovered and unknown. So I decided to change my approach. I realised some times one word can change the way you think, in an instant, but sometimes it's enough to last a life time. Therefore the word for today is definitely - change - I could write more, but I won't, I'm leaving you to fill in the blanks... - - - - - - - - - -

I would like to introduce you to a designer called Julian Roberts, I have memories of stories about him, but truth be known, I have only just discovered him for myself. I discovered Julian for real, whilst researching 'pattern magic' with a friend, this bright sunday afternoon after eating Chinese food. So bright, so new, techniques I could only have dreamed of and yet here below you will find links to this creator available and free to all. Why? Beacause he, like me, has decided that it is better to share than to hide, he has decided that he would rather share his techniques with a new and contemporary generation, than to see them die with him. Because watching others live out his techniques reveals new and different beauties that may never have been unveiled except through the eyes and hands of another. So watch, and listen but more than these shoot, shoot for the moon. You are armed with a bow, and there are arrows in your quiver. Listen to this man, be inspired ...
