Enfin prête pour le compte à rebours, bienvenue au mois de décembre! J'attendrai ce soir pour remplir le tout.
Ready at last for the countdown, welcome december! I will wait for the evening to fill it in.

Le patron des petites guêtres chinées bientôt en ligne...avant la chute du thermomètre.
Will soon post the chiné leg warmers pattern...before the drop in temperatures.

Je termine le calendrier de l'avent. Recette des pompons à la fourchette ici et celle des scones là.
Bon début de semaine.
I am finishing the Advent calendar. Pompoms on a fork recipe here and the scones' there.
Have a nice Monday.

Ne surtout pas perdre le petit Jésus (poupées russes Nativité trouvées ici). Petits godillots Chérie associés à un pantalon crocheté l'année dernière.
We are being extra careful not to lose little Jesus from the Nativity Scene Russian Dolls found here. Little Chérie shoes associated to crocheted trousers from last year.

On lit l'humeur de Cerys après la douche...
We read Cerys' mood after the shower...

Un petit essai simple et rapide à porter autour du cou. Pour le demi granny square (triangle granny) j'ai suivi cet excellent diagramme en rajoutant une bordure en brides tout autour le tout en crochet 5mm. Pas besoin de boutonniere et le modèle s'adapte à toutes les tailles. Impossible d'obtenir le consentement d'un cliché de mon modèle réveillé...
Quant à moi, je rêve d'un châle depuis que j'ai admiré cette merveille.
A fast and easy crochet try to wear around the neck. For the half granny square I followed this great diagram and add an edge in dc all around using a 5mm hook. No need for a button hole, also the triangle would pretty much fit any size. I couldn't get my model to agree on a photo shooting when awake...
As for myself I am dreaming of a shawl since I admired this marvel.

24 petites chaussettes dépareillées à la taille du pied de Betty, il me reste juste à rentrer les fils...pour une fois je ne suis pas trop à la bourre pour le calendrier de l'avent.
Je vous souhaite un doux week-end.
24 mismatched socks made to Betty's size, I just need to weave in the ends now...for once it looks like I won't be pushed for time for the advent calendar.
Have a warm weekend.

Le pantalon de l'hiver dernier est juste parfait. D'autres devraient suivre si j'arrive à déchiffrer mon patron/brouillon. The trousers from last winter are now just perfect. More should follow if I can decrypt my pattern/rough draft.

Des petites chaussettes qui font partie du calendrier de l'avent en cours de réalisation. Et la meilleur photo que j'ai pu rendre du béguin jaune porté, mon modèle de poche n'étant pas du tout docile.
Small socks part of our advent calendar in process. And the best picture I could get of the yellow bonnet worn, my model being rather reluctant.
