Date: 3/12/10 5:56 PM Has anyone purchased anything from La droguerie in France? I would love to buy a pattern book from them. The book is called droles et colores mes accessoires signes.

Date: 3/12/10 8:19 PM I have not bought there, and they don't appear to have a website order capacity per se, but at this blog, the owner has posted a bunch of the pages of your book (she says there are even more projects inside).
She also provides an email link on the right of this page, where it says nous contacter. You can click on perenoel@ladroguerie.com (means Father Christmas@ladroguerie)and even if you write your request in English, they'll probably be able to find someone to translate it.
Underneath the email link, there is an option to pay by bank card:
Paiement par CB, [ici]
The içi is clickable, but it leads you to a way to order by phone. I'd go with the email. |

I've done this successfully; now all I need is someone to translate French knitting instructions to English. Any ideas? |

Date: 2/12/12 3:03 AM Last year, Sylvie Damie had a quite complete bilingual dictionary here
http://chezplum.com/knitting-from-the-french/
But I notice she has taken it down, and now basically offers her translation services for a fee, alas.
I can only suggest that you google the heck out of terms like "translate French knotting terms into English".

Date: 2/12/12 12:43 PM The web site Theknittingfool.com, has a section for knitting translations of knitting terms in most languages. I believe that is a members only section, it is $10 a year to join, she is knitting up thousands of patterns ad offer PFd instructions for each one.
