POSTCARDS FROM THE GANG

Camille, our true WATG gangta, knitted up two Supreme Sweaters this summer. She personalised one style knitting with stripes. J'aime!

Zara our beautiful sales assistant from NYC, took her Mary Sweater to Florida- happy to escape the city. She's back in NYC, fresh and getting ready for Fall

Join the gang — Camille

Summer is going really weird in Paris, from really cold weeks to endless heatwave... Can't decide which yarn to knit! Camille, a super cool knitter from Switzerland just send us pics of her Lil'Joe in sherpa blue — YES, the summer is not just about cotton, LET THE WOOL SHINE and welcome in the gang Camille!

Jack can definitely strike the pose !

Few days ago, Lili received a message from Marina, mum of a little Jack, for whom she knitted a really cute tweed grey Zion Lion hat ! Looking for a "I love my alpaca" she's bought 3 kits so far and was still desperate to find this very patch. Lili is such a sweetheart so she send to her one of hers. Here is Marina's cool message :

Dear Lili
here is a pic of Jack in his new hat
i learnt to knit last month on your web site (found out about you through a friend who became a fan on facebook), i never thought i would knit... nor live up a mountain... one just never knows!
great fun
thanks again,
Marina

Join the Gang — From Aurore to Lisa

I just received a cute essay from another Lisa (not our gangsta founder) telling a story about a friendship scarf — one that we saw few weeks ago on our facebook page. Here is the story of Lisa, her friends and the Foxy Roxy scarf !


Few days ago i was thinking about the Albin de la Simone’s song, that i heard in the first part of Vincent Delerm, in which he decides to eat his friends who had an argument to reconcile them. And, i thought, because my friends don’t hate each other (at least, i think) that i would love to eat my friends just to have them close to me, very close.

Why am i telling it ? Oh yeah THE scarf. So, this is a good example : my wonderful Wool and the Gang kit a close (so close) friend offered to me was knitted by her to be perfect. And, there is more, she had a quarrel with an other close (so close) friend of mine because they both wanted to finish the scarf. The result of this is that now, whenever i wear it (the scarf), i'm always with my two friends, they are close to me, around my neck. In the street, in the subway, outside the restaurant when i smoke a cigarette (bad…), as a cushion when i read on my sofa.

And you know the best thing about that ? I hadn’t to eat them. They warm my neck. And my heart. And i didn’t even put on one gramme.


Lisa.

We just found Miss Wool 2009 ! When i received that mail last week and discover those photos i told myself "waaw this girl must live in Wool Land !". In fact Geraldine who works at Noa Shop in Genève is in a incredible addict to the collection as you can see.

She already knitted one Zion Lion hat, two Lula Hoop scarves, one Lil'Joe and a Nijin Skina kit — and it's so nice ! And of course she has the gang spirit as she worked in family for those cool photos taken by her talented brother Anthony !

Please notice the perfect "swiss touch" with the cute Zermatt patch on her Sherpa blue Lula Hoop. Want one like this too !
