Hi: I just found your comment on my blog and I hope you visit often. It is fun finding other knitters. I don't know if you went to past entries, but I knit enough ponchos, etc for a craft table at our church. I will be back to visit you, your knitted items are beautiful. I agree, it is always time to gift a handmade item. Nancy
I was wondering about Bagatelle. Of course, if I think in English, it had to be a bag, but in French it has other meanings. It is the name of a Park with roses, but it also means "little something of no importance" as in "little sex affairs of no importance" (mainly from the man's point of view). So I did not see the relation with knitting :-)
Hi N. Maria In Germany we have also different idiom for the word „Bagatelle“. Such as insignificance, unimportance, kid stuff and much more… And this have nothing to do with your very wonderfully bag. ;-) But isn't it funny, diffrent languages and diffrent meanings.
I am my mother's daughter. She taught me how to knit, ride a horse, love and enjoy the unique characteristics of all living things, shoot a .22 rifle, drive a car, cook, be kind to people (if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all), sing, and country dance.
Back to knitting...I dream, think, read and talk knitting.
I knit every day.
