pain au chocolat



the yarn came last saturday...im a little disappointed with them. the quality, the color..i wanted slate gray and it's almost like purple. i'm usually pretty forgiving when it comes to internet purchase. i don't like to make a big fuss and deal with extra shipping. so all i can do is hope that when i open the package, it's at least close to what i expect to see. well yet another disappointment. anyways, i'm sure it will be alright. it's not end of the world. by the time im done with it. i'm sure it will be well loved and worn. i started swatching several kinds of cable stitches, haven't found anything i like so far. the yarn is definitely lacking a little substance for aran stitches.

on the bright side i do have some exciting news...let see if i get this right... nous allons chez frances en moins d'un mois..hmmm should i say..nous voyageons à frances en moins d'un mois. i really can't wait :) i've been listening to this over and over today, day dreaming about sitting by the side walk of a cafe eating a piece of pain au chocolat :)

It's so disappointing when the real colour doesn't match the on-line one.

Where abouts are you going in France? We shall be there too at the end of May/beginning of June!

Vous allez en France dans moins d'un mois? I also plan on going this year (more near the fall). I've never been to France although I've always wanted to! Bon voyage!

How fun! Are you going to go to La Droguerie and buy the Veste Croisée pattern kit?

Ah France!! I can't believe it's been a year already since I went to Paris and I've never finished blogging about my trip. Enjoy!

Enjoy France, we love it and are going again this year to Brittany. I love the slow pace of life in France. Everything shuts in the afternoons, the roads are perfect for cycling and the food is lovely!

I'm only guessing, but you're going to France for a month in a month? If you are that sounds awesome! Let me know if you drop by London :)

Wow. My French is old and decrepit (about 18 years ago), but it is still good enough for reading.

I hope you have a great time during your trip. What parts of France?
