Yesterday afternoon we had an outing to La Roche Courbon, a local chateau.
The weather cooperated and stopped raining just as we arrived. The guided tour was very interesting but did make me realise how rusty and primitive my French is, I must look for a class to join again soon.
Today we have been doing some more patchwork knitting. Here are some of the samples everyone has been working on.
Before dinner Mummy and I went for a little walk up the road. This is the view back across the wheat field to Le Vieux Monastere. The three right hand windows on the ground floor before the corner are the workroom where we are having our workshops. My bedroom is the first window round the corner upstairs. It is pretty idyllic as you can see 🙂
Love this post! What pattern is the first picture? I love modular knitting (:
Thank you 🙂 The first type of module is based on a 2×2 rib. The shapes are reversible. You start with an even number of stitches and put a stitch marker half-way along your row. Then every row, keeping in your 2×2 rib work k2tog on the 2 sts immediately before the marker. Carry on until you run out of stitches!
Happy modular knitting!
