Hey, I'm Ppppawa (She/her, they/them. Français/English)

A fiber enthusiast who tries to convince everyone to pick up a crochet hook and some pretty yarn. I'm in no way trying to be an "influencer", but I'd like to share the things that makes me happy so that the internet is not just a room full of angry people screaming at eachother.

If that's your vibe, feel free to join me in my yarny adventures.

Update on kiddo's birthday crown.

I got a big bowl of spaghetti-ends to deal with, but 2 more appliques for the birthday crown are (almost) done, including this police car that I frogged So. Many. Times. and finally eye-balled something and it looks *good enough*.

I repaired a toy today. We couldn’t simply throw away Didier. He's family!

My repair isn’t pretty, but I did my best. It’s part of his story.

I found the perfect backing for the blanket I'm making for my kiddo's teddys. I love that I can shop in my stash & scraps.

I will join the two with a crochet border.

Blocking my colour work practice: a tiny blanket for my kid's teddys/dolls/amigurumis

I freehanded some variations inspired by daisies. Very retro.

Time to work on another more time-sensitive WIP: The traditional birthday crown for my kiddo to wrap up their second year on this big ol' rock. (I'm in total denial)

Working on some free-handed apliques.

Less sentimental post.
Say hello to Edith!

She's my new knitting supervisor (I'm exhausted of frogging), and is named after the great acadien musician Edith Butler.

I've finally started the christmas stocking for my small kiddo in the style of the ones my mémère made for the whole family.

She can’t knit anymore, and I haven’t been able to see her for... a few years now. This project is very sentimental, and my skills are not doing this pattern justice, but I'm feeling closer to her 💛

She may not remember me, but I'll always cherish her memory.

Not a yarny post, but I took some time to unwind this afternoon, and went for a walk with kiddo (as per their request).

We stopped by a street library and found this cute lil book for them. They loooooove books.

Sometime, you need to put crafting on pause to enjoy the fresh (freezing) air outside, and add a little bit of whimzy to your life.

Now, back to the regular broadcast: working on my tunisian crochet shawl!!

Update on my shawl. Finished the transition between the greens and the reds (summer and fall).

Back onto the tunisian knit stitch before winter starts.
