SURI ALPACA BONHEUR D'OCCASION
This hand-dyed artisanal yarn is no ordinary knitting yarn: the designer behind the knitting patterns Louise Robert Design meticulously created this beautiful collection.
It's by studying the color pallets that represent her life and career over the years that designer Louise Robert was able to imagine all of the variety available in these hand-dyed artisanal yarns.
BONHEUR D’OCCASION is the first novel by Gabrielle Roy, published in 1945. The story takes place in the once impoverished district of Saint-Henri, Montreal, during the Second World War. Only after reading some of her work did I learn that Gabrielle Roy was also one of my grandmother’s favorite authors. It warmed my heart. - Louise

Customer Reviews
Patron difficile à suivre mais les points sont très faciles. Le probème c'est que je ne savais jamais où je me situais. L'autre difficulté c'est qu'une fois terminé, j'ai réalisé qu'il était trop grand. Impossible de défaire et refaire. Une chance qu'Isabelle Racette m'a aidé pour le tricoter sinon j'aurais abandonné avant de le terminer. Une chose importante est de laver les échevaux avant de les tricoter le rosse et le marine dégorge beaucoup. Je suis très contente des couleurs choisies.
