A Knitter's Weekend
Karen Templer Goes to Paris
Dear Kay,
Two weeks ago, our friend Karen Templer went to Paris, on a long-anticipated trip.
Her chronicle of days wandering the city with her husband Bob is so marvelous, such a thing to celebrate, that today I simply point you to Karen’s dreamworld of a site, Fringe Association. Karen has been creating a wardrobe of handmade clothes and handknits, so it’s particularly fascinating to hear how her packing worked out in the city where chic was invented. She tells us what she wore, what she saw, and what she ate: “The Paris Review and Wardrobe Travelogue.”
Karen’s trip reminds us all that Paris is a city like no other, a place where love and beauty are celebrated every day. Also: baked goods.
Love,
Ann
You two and Karen are my first stops of the day. I loved her post!
Ditto!
Double ditto!
Fringe Association is wonderful. Thank you.
P.s. I tell every knitter I know to check out Modern Daily, also wonderful.
Did you notice that she even looks great in those above the ankle length floods she likes? How does she do it – radiant and glowing in floods? She has a great neck down raglan tutorial on Ravelry, too.
I think it is because they are no longer “floods”. I prefer to call mine cropped.:)
But I also grew up in the era of floods and any jean that did not drag past your heel was considered a fashion faux-pas
I have gotten so used to short pants that long ones seem clunky and unflattering. Plus, my ankles are the trimmest part of me. 😉
I saw a hipster Mormon couple on their way to church this morning. Both the man and the woman were wearing floods. Guess I really am 55.
Thank you, Ann, for sharing this. Paris and Karen together – what fun, and inspiration! Have a splendid weekend. Here, I am starting a spring shawl, now that the snows have finally gone.
What an amazing post! Thanks for the introduction!
