I’m still here…

……But not a lot on the web planet …..
Hello to all , hope everything is as nice in your home as in mine !
I’m still knitting …
shawlettes, sweater, tees and have much more ideas than time to realize them, but this seems to be one of the major problem in the crafty planet .
But this year I have discovered a new and funny activity, I’m totally absorbed with my garden, cause I decided to cultivate not only flowers and berries but also some vegetables too :











Very, very, very busy, don’t I?
I also saved a bat, who was attacked by small birds:

And as usually, my beloved kitty Miss Soquette, have helped me so much

Very busy, ahem! I’ve even found some time to knit, write and publish some pattern in my Ravelry store. 
Here are so far some pictures of my WIP*, currently laying in my knitting bag…….

And after this veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy loooooooooooooooong post, if you are still here I want to wish you a very nice week and want to thank everyone, who stopped here and say hello !

Tribbles

La dernière fois, je vous parlais des Habitants originaires de la planète Iota Geminorum IV. J'ai découvert le nom de ces charmantes bestioles

en tricotant, qui osera dire que le tricot n'est pas culturel ?

Voici un Tribbles :

Du coup, j'en ai fait un deuxième en rajoutant quelques modifications :

• 
  
  Yarn ; Manor coton à tricoter 1/2 ball
• 
  
  Needles: 4.5mm

Pattern : Tribbles
Modification : Provisionnal Cast-on (so I can work a 3 needles bind-off) and increasing with YO, so I can close my Tribble with a crochet chain and put a soap into it :)
Et pour le fun, j'ai rajouté le gant de toilette :

• 
  
  Yarn : Manor coton à tricoter the other half ball
• 
  
  Needles : 4.5mm
• 
  
  Pattern Bath mitt (you just have to subscribe to be able to get the pattern)
  
  
  Now I have the complete Bath set :
  
  
  
  
  
  
  A bientôt
  
  See you soon
