So many things have happened since my last recording!
We spent two months in the Baltics, visiting family, and after we came back to France, it was time to move into our first home!
We moved in a little over a month ago, and have much work to do!
One of the first thing that I tackled was my little atelier. I now have a knitting room of my own, a special place to design, create and store all of my woolly bits!

Wow I think I never saw something like this, specially at the moment you finished your room. The mood, colors, you, how you love your things and home…. And music…. Almost brought me tears. I never watched any of your videos. But this one is a video-pearl on KZread. Beautiful home. It’s a dream. Thank you. 😊

Thank you so much! And that is just the beginning! We are so many plans for it!
I was thrilled to see you posted two new videos! Congratulations on your new home--it's absolutely a dream inside, with all the nature decorations and your won crafting space (definitely want that when I get my first space) and Iris has grown so much! And I was so happy to see your adorably furry companion! Cats and knitting and nature... what more is needed? Congratulations on everything you have built and thank you for all the wonderful work you have done and for sharing with us in such a beautiful, heartwarming, and inspiring way!!! I also wanted to say that the Selbu pattern sweater you have on towards the end of the video (fixing the door decoration) is gorgeous!! Will you ever release a pattern for it? I would buy it in an instant but I understand if it's just a little personal project all for yourself ^_^ All the best and happy holidays from a longtime viewer!!
Your new space is absolutely lovely!
So lovely Melody, thank you! Congratulations on your first home, it looks just beautiful. You always make your living spaces shine with personality, warmth, and cosiness, it's a pleasure to "visit" your new house. Loved seeing all your knits in one place in the new studio. Are you still in France? I wonder if you will get snow where you are living now - that would be just perfect! All the best, xx

Hi Melody, what a lovely surprise and joy to see you, I have been looking out over the months for a vlog from you, I did not get a notification about this vlog but you just appeared when my page refreshed! So happy for you that you have found and bought your first home, I remember mine, so exciting! Though we have only owned two. Noticed you have a kitten, and I could hear your daughter talking, it must be so lovely creating your home. Your knitting , garments are as beautiful as ever, I’ve missed your presence here! You look very well, happy and content . Suze. 🥰😽🧶 x

Lovely to see you and your lovely new home. I was wondering what the spray you used on the yarn and sweaters was and if it was for preventing moths.

Thank you so much Elizabeth! It’s not for moth per se, but it smells like heaven which means that it’s probably hell for moths hahaè
Bonjour Mélody. Je tricote à l’anglaise, j’ai essayé de tricoter à l’a continental mais sans succès. Je tricote à l’anglaise en lâchant mon aiguille comme vous le faite. Je ne me sens plus complexée de le faire et à présent lorsqu’on me demandera comment je tricote, je dirais que je tricote à la Mélody. Très belle vidéo. Bon baiser de Brest.
@Mandarines
Жыл бұрын
Oh mais il ne faut pas complexer! Nous tricotons tous différemment et cela reflète notre héritage. Au contraire, je pense qu’il faut être fier de la manière dont nous tricotons. Rien ne nous empêche d’essayer une autre méthode, mais vraiment je ne comprends pas les personnes qui « jugent » la manière de tricoter, c’est vraiment ridicule.
Good to see you back. How is your family?

Hello Melody, your home and videos are so lovely. Thank you for sharing your life. I tried to join your Patreon today and the website said you weren't accepting new signups at this point. Is there anywhere else that I can access the pattern for your Linden Cardigan?

Just found your vlog. You have pretty knit sweaters in neutral shades of beige & brown. How do you start a knit in the round? Is it different than using 2 knitting needles?
@Mandarines
Жыл бұрын
A warm welcome to you! Oh it’s absolutely amazing to knit in the round. It goes very very fast and most of the time you don’t have to purl which I know is not everyone’s cup of tea. Maybe try to check for tutorial on KZread to understand the mechanics of knitting in the round. It’s a game changer really :)
