Is it possible for the Parisien l'esharpe/scarf to get any bigger than it already is?
Oui! Absolutement oui! Knitting is HUGE in Paris right now, so get out your needles.
BHV's vitrines were full of balls of wool and hand-knitted scarves waiting for crafty Parisiens...
If you haven't heard of Golden Hook, here's your chance.
Golden Hook is a bunch of les French grand-meres who will knit anything your heart desires in whatever color you dream of. You can even choose the grand-mere you would like to do the knitting.
Or you could turn up at BHV and take knitting lecons and DIY directly from les grand-meres.
There are a gazillion knitting books out on French Amazon for the DIYers who read French. I even saw a girl knitting in the Metro station, but forgot to take a picture - Eeeek!
Of course les vitrines/shop windows are full of hand-knitted items...
Winter hats included. And Parisiens are notorious for not wearing hats in zero temperatures (which they may be having right this minute...)
French bebes have always worn knits, but now it's a must-do.
As for Paris dogs, their knitted winter scarves and coats are being tricotee toute a suite.BONJOUR PARIS KNITTERS!!
