A course by Laetitia Dalbies
With a grandmother working as a stylist in Paris and a nanny who taught her to knit... Laetitia Dalbies has been passionate about textile creation since she was a child. After studying art and photography in Montpellier, she discovered crochet when her daughter was born and decided to make it her profession.
A poetic universe full of soft, unique, and vibrant creations, natural materials, and a taste for color association... This is what characterizes her work, whether it's crochet, punch needle, knitting, or sewing. She has already published two books with Éditions Eyrolles: PunchNeedle, 27 créations à broder and Dinette, Fruits, légumes et gourmandises à crocheter.

Un cours très intéressant avec un projet tellement mignon à croquer qui donne envie de faire toute une grosse dinette :)
Demande quand même un peu de temps pour réussir vraiment le cercle magique qui semble trop dur au début mais persévérer et cela viendra !
