The French Connection
“Est-ce possible d’avoir la traduction en français du modèle Tudora ?”
I’ve received this enquiry a few times, but embarrasingly, not being a French speaker and equally embarrassing having a wee bit of former phobia about the French language, it’s then doubly exciting and kind of ironic that there’s now a French version of the Tudora knitting pattern. And because of my ineptitude with French, you’ll be pleased to know that I had nothing to do with the translation.
Many thanks to Canadian-Knitter-Carole D.’s efforts in making the translation and to Blogger-Helene for posting the instructions on her blog. You can find French Tudora here.
‘They could not but hold her cheap on finding that she had but two sashes, and had never learnt French.’ —Mansfield Park, Volume 1, Chapter 2
Worthy Charity Postscript Ahead:
Speaking of Tudora, Knitter-Laurie is in the process of creating Tudoras to sell on her Esty shop, Crafty for the Cure, to raise funds for breast cancer research. Well done and all the best in your efforts for that cause!
I finally picked up my yarn to make a Tudora for a charity fundraiser myself.. I will auction it off at church for On Earth Peace.. but it’s second in the queue.. hopefully it will move up to first next week I can’t wait to try it!

Isn’t translation into a foreign language a sure sign that in your beautiful, brilliant design you’ve created an international sensation?

Heard about your website and Tudora on the Belle of the Ball Podcast.
I made Tudora in red alpaca for a Christmas gift for a friend. She wears it every time we walk together. Thanks so much for the pattern. susan93940m at gmail dot com. (am susan93940 in Ravelry). What a beautiful blog–so many pictures! Thanks again for the Tudora pattern, it was so quick and beautiful.
