"Helen je trouve votre collection extraordinaire ; des oursons adorables et des carrés tellement beaux et originaux : du bonheur à venir pour des enfants."
"Des carrés absolument magnifiques Diane : ils touveront où se placer sur une couverture sans problème et apporteront de l'éclat. Les deux du bas plairont beaucoup aux enfants et je trouve celui de droite très joyeux."
"Belle collection Karen : j'adore en particuler les roses et les verts : j'ai essayé les aiguilles circulaires et même réalisé quelques couvertures complètes avec : je ne nie pas les avantages qu'elles apportent mais moi qui déjà emmêle beaucoup les…"
"Bienvenue Teresa : vos carrés sont d'une beauté et d'une qualité incroyables. Chez KAS chacune apporte sa touche et son talent personnels et notre diversité est notre richesse."
"Vous pouvez être TRES contente Patricia : votre couverture est une merveille lumineuse et inspirante comme l'introduction de Bev de ce mois-ci. Votre laine est vraiment magique ! "
"Des chapeaux magnifiques Karen (comme toujours) : oui et merci mais nous nous inspirons les unes et les autres et c'est aussi ce qui fait notre force et nous permet de continuer. Sans le forum je me sentirais seule dans mon coin mais les…"
"Merci Amy pour ce mois violet durant lequel les magnifiques jacarandas nous ont accompagnées et soutenues et merci aussi pour avoir traduit et publié dans les extraits du mois mon texte - poème inspiré par l'histoire de KAS et la couleur Rose. "
"Merci beaucoup Bev pour cette belle et inspirante introduction au CoM novembre : le jaune va illuminer les jours gris de l'automne dans l'hémisphère nord et puis cette couleur se marie magnifiquement avec le gris ..."
"Patricia, je vois que le violet continue de vous inspirer avec bonheur : j'adore votre fil et vos carrés faits de points différents, leurs couleurs évoquent pour moi des pierres précieuses. Je trouve le carré en bas à droite particulèrement beau et…"
"Eva, toutes vos créations sont belles, variées, originales et si parfaitement réalisées ! : c'est toujours un immense plaisir de regarder vos photos et vous faites tellement de bien aux enfants qui reçoivent vos cadeaux."
"Ces jouets sont adorables Arlène et j'admire votre talent : les tricoter demande beaucoup de temps et une attention soutenue. Je "craque" pour la robe et le chapeau de la poupée et l'harmonie des couleurs = 2 enfants heureux de recevoir un cadeau."
"Excellente façon de joindre l'utile à l'agréable et de passer en douceur du violet au jaune Sharon. Vous avez superbement réussi ce que je considère encore trop souvent comme une corvée ! Bravo."
I have got the beanie pattern to send to you but it seems that we aren't friends, even though we both accepted each other!! I find this website quite difficult to navigate. I am unable to attach the file from my computer so have copied and pasted it on here.
Originally I made this hat with 7.5mm needles throughout but it came out too large, so decided to try with 6.5mm for the ribbing and 7.5mm for the rest of the hat. The hat fits me, it also fits a 3 year old, and a 7 year old, the fit was much better than using the larger needles. Hope this is clear.

Mireille,
I am unable to send the pattern at the moment, we are at our house in Spain. We leave here on 4th December and arrive in the UK on 8th December. Once I have unpacked and have everything sorted ( shopping etc) I will send it to you.
I was unable to send a message to your inbox because, I think, we aren't "friends", i have sent a friend request to you. Once you accept, it will be easier for me to send a copy of the pattern plus the original page from the internet (not available now!).
Regards
Diane

Please feel free to add a comment or two to photos or discussion. This site is a little challenging at the beginning but with a little practice it is very easy to navigate.
I look forward to seeing some of your work on the Forum

Bonjour Mireille et bienvenue au forum.
Comme vous pouvez voir, tout est en anglais sauf quelques renseignements généraux et modèles de carrés dans les French Pages.
Bien sur, vous pouvez toujours m'envoyer un message si vous avez besoin d'information. Certains de nos membres parlent français, mais pas beaucoup.
J'aimerais dévéloper un peu plus les French Pages, mais manque de temps et mauvaise santé m'en ont empêché.
