This month...  knitting is in the spotlight!

My second angora yarn scarf is finished.

Remember I bought some wool visiting the farm "Les p'tits bergers"

This scarf is 146 cm long and will be given soon to DD1.

As she rides her bike early to go to work, it will be useful in winter.

Deuxième écharpe terminée, tricotée avec la laine achetée chez Sandrine à la ferme des p'tits bergers.

Je vais l'offrir bientôt à ma fille aînée qui va au travail de bon matin à vélo, j'espère qu'elle lui sera bien utile cet hiver.

Miguel the Cameleon is a kit from Filantrope broderies, they have quite a collection of outfits and I have chosen girafe.

After a bad start during the Olympics, mixing colors, I took another fabric and here it is. I didn't like the thread at all, very tight I found difficult to work with.

There is a tiny swaroski crystal for the eye.

Mon petit caméléon Miguel est enfin terminé. J'avais commencé ce kit de chez Filanthrope Broderies à l'occasion des Wipolympics mais j'ai eu pas de soucis, d'abord je me suis trompée dans les couleurs ensuite je n'ai pas aimé utiliser leur fil très raide. Mais ce modèle girafe est l'un de mes préférés parmi leur collection impressionante d'habillages et il me semble assez réussi.

Today I'm pleased to show you my fully finished angora wool scarf

I bought the wool during a visit to the "p'tits bergers" farm in Chaussy

Aiguilles 3.5

41 mailles -  6 au point de riz - 29 au point jersey - 6 au point de riz

les 8 premiers et les 8 derniers rangs au point de riz

j'ai ajouté un rang au crochet au point crocodile pour la finition

2 pelotes de 50 g   m'ont donné une longueur d'écharpe de  140  cm

Two balls of yarn of 50 g gave me a scarf 140 cm long.

I have started the same pattern with the blue yarn for DD1.

It's a Fully Finished - but not framed - cross stitch :

The lady and the unicorn was a kit I received as a Christmas gift and started January 2022.

The fabric was an Aïda 8 kind of burgundy color and as I can't anymore stitch without my magnifying lamp since my cataract operation I can't cross stitch as easily as before so progressing took times.

Not easy to stitch on a dark color too but I loved the pattern and I don't remember making mistakes so it was nice to do.

I often used it in Wipocalypse, wipolympics events to get a boost.

I still dream to be able one day to visit the Cluny museum and see the five tapestries shown in Paris.

another Fully Finished knitting is the sleeveless sweater for DD3.

More about it in the Gifted Gorgeousness post in 5 days...

Ma machine à coudre étant réparée, j'ai repris quelques travaux de couture. Après ma première pochette berlingot j'ai demandé à DD1 si elle souhaitait autre chose dans le tissu "perf" et elle a suggéré des trousses.

J'ai donc confectionné une trousse avec un fond pour elle et une plate pour sa collègue.

J'en ai profité pour refaire un berlingot pour Charlotte elle aussi infirmière.

Les attaches des fermetures éclairs étant très petites j'ai ajouté des pompons glands pour une meilleure prise en main. Ils sont faits en coton perlé n° 5. J'ai trouvé des écheveaux de blanc B5200 XXL au salon DIY qui s'est tenu fin janvier.

Toutes mes pochettes sont doublées de drap blanc le tissu étant assez fin.

Now that my sewing machine has been repaired, I've started sewing again. After making my first berlingot candy shaped pouch, I asked DD1 if she wanted anything else made from the “perf” fabric, and she suggested pencil cases.

So I made a pencil case with a bottom for her and a flat one for her colleague.

I took the opportunity to make another pouch for Charlotte, who is also a nurse.

As the zipper pulls are very small, I added tassel pom-poms to make them easier to grip. They are made from No. 5 pearl cotton. I found skeins of white B5200 XXL at the DIY show held at the end of January.

All my pouches are lined with white sheet fabric as the fabric is quite thin.

The blog is on pause yet but I'd like to post on the same date if I have a small or big finish to share with you

I have posted about my Wypocalypse plans last Sunday - linked to Melissa from Measi's musings SAL.

and as it's an Olympic Year I'd love to participate to the WypOlympics too.

Next winter games will take place in North Italy (February 6th to 22th)

I always send my team of journalists Nelson and Gérard and my couple of supporters Mr and Mrs Mouse.

They are renamed for the occasion : signor e signora Topolino

and they'll need some mountain equipment.

I thought about making skis in wood but it will be fragile and I chose some wood look cardboard (from food trays) and I'm glad that they look great.

We had some snow last Monday, perfect time to get out and try our new equipment and make some pictures.

I have shown them the mascots Tina and Milo, two lovely stoats and the Flo, six small snowdrops.

Mrs Mouse loved the cute hat they were wearing and she asks for one.

I made one for her with some white and green felt.

Après avoir présenté les mascottes Tina et Milo, deux adorables hermines et leurs amis les Flo, six petites perce-neige, madame Souris m'a demandé de lui confectionné un joli bonnet comme les leurs.

Aussitôt dit, aussitôt fait, en feutrine blanche et verte, Signorina Topolino pourra garder la tête au chaud lors des prochains jeux olympiques d'hiver qui se dérouleront en février prochain en Italie du nord.

La neige tombée ces derniers jours nous donna le décor parfait pour une séance de photos équipés du tout nouveau matériel de ski.

Bâtons en brochettes et élastiques de masques, skis découpés dans une plaque de carton de barquette alimentaire décor bois. Je vais également essayé de leur confectionner des raquettes pour randonner dans la neige.
