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.

Join the gang — Geraldine

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 !
