La grand 'mère et le tricot .
Grandmother and knitting .
Presque chaque soir ma
femme Janine tricote pour ses petits enfants . Je suis admiratif . Il est vrai que nous en avons dix et bientôt douze . Avez - vous remarqué la boîte de chocolat en bas de la photo ?
Ma fille aînée Carole et son mari Pierre m ' ont offert un ....crochet pour mon anniversaire en Mars dernier .( photo ci - dessous ) Comme vous voyez tout le monde est hilare ! que voulez - vous que je fasse ? Rien , évidemment car je suis incapable parce que je n ' ai pas les doigts habiles .
Almost every evening my wife Janine is knitting for her grandchildren .I am admiring . It ' s true they are ten and soon twelve . Did you notice the chocolate box at the bottom of the picture ?
My eldest daughter Carole and her husband Pierre offered to me a ....crochet at my birthday last March ( picture below ). As you see all the people are hilarious . ! What do you want I do ? Nothing obviously as I am unable because I have not clever fingers .

I do a search usually by typing in the show or type of music I want with the word midis or midi files behind it....it usually gives me many choices.
It all comes with practice, Michel. Practice, mon ami.=P
Funny! What a gift! Yes, the handmade things your wife makes! What a pretty crimson color!
love the family photos... and thank you for your support
great pictures...Your wife is very lovely...I do wish i could knit, it just unstressed the mind so much...Gives you a peacefull feeling...That's how i feel when i needlepoint and i know its the same for knitting..Your grandchildren are lucky..

Merveilleux! Je me rappelle quand ma mère à crochet. Nous avons toujours les couvertures et des articles de bébé qu'elle a faits. Grandes photos mon ami.
Janine is obviously very talented...and lovely, too!! I taught my daughter to crochet but she likes to make quilts better. Maybe you should make quilts, Michel!!
Janine's knitting looks beautiful. it's amazing how quickly your grand-children are growing up, isn't it? thank you for sharing your family's pictures with us for us to enjoy.
I could never learn to knit either!
Thank you for sharing your family! I admire you all ! @-}-}--
Nice Michel. I used to knit and crochet a lot when I was younger...(now I am sounding old...) My compliments to Janine. My daughter loves to knit too... she makes tiny little things for her dolls to wear...
...lovely photos, Michel. Thank you.

Good family photos Michell but next time put some food on the plate Ron
Your wife is certainly talented. I used to crochet and knit, but have not tried it for years now. It looks like you have a beautiful, happy family.Have a good day!
I used to knit everywhere and always! Now, with the 6 kids I have, I have no time to knit anymore.......(and xangatime needs to be spend on xanga, don't you think?)
But I'm sure I have a peek in the future when seeing this.
Question....does she have the right glasses??
Nothing wrong with the chocolatebox...it's closed!!!
Have a nice weekend!
What? Were you suppose to crochet up some food on that plate?
What a wonderful sense of humor your family has!
How fun!! Great pictures Michel.. so start some knitting... and post your creation!!
Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Knitting is an art, I have yet to master. Your wife must be really talented. Great photos!!!
Why don't you ask your wife to give you classes?
Have a great weekend
Beautiful family! The picture made me smile.
Michel,
You are somewhat right about my Writing Exercises 1, 2, & 3. As far as those questions go, I am not completely happy but satisfied. I am just at a transitional point in my life where I am gaining independence slowly. Thank you for reading! -Soleilshine ~
What a lovely happy family you all seem. Unlike your wife I have never been able to crochet or sew. I could do a simple chain. I am sure they probably got you to do one of those with your crochet hook. Well it takes all kinds, my mind has always taken me over not my hands. I am awful, Matt has to open jars and fix bulbs in lamps and as for a fuse, it is lucky we have a switch thing for those. in other words I am prettty useless, except for words. Regardez sivou plait. I bet that is wrong too. Cheers ,Portia
So nice to do something you enjoy and share it with others..... knitting and crochet is the perfect hobby.
It's delightful too that you share the joy of seeing your wife create.
I like the family pictures
Je ne sais pas de doigts, mais vous avez un coeur beau et une passion admirable pour la vie.
J'espere que dans ces temps de misere extreme, nous trouverons aussi le paix et l'heureusement que vous avez.
How dear of you to post, not only lovely pictures of your family but, how you admire and enjoy the gifts of your lovely wife!
My Mister is soothed when I knit - he also enjoys watching his wife create something from 'nothing'! It is a pleasure for BOTH of us when I put my hands to the needles!
Much blessing to you and yours!

Its me who is late looking at your site, great photos you look very happy on your birthday Michal. Sorry I have not recevied your email my address is JulieEssex@aol.com Thanks for your help , I have just been on the French Tourist board site we cannot make our minds up whether to go to north to around Dunkirk or come south towards you , Thanks for the lovely comments on my site
Your daughter looks very like your wife. Or is it just the photograph? It is very rewarding to see such candid pictures of family life - congratulations. Tom
Thanks for sharing your photos. I've now discovered your blogs. I can read your entry en francais and see if I really understood it afterwards!
i enjoyed your family pictures.. i wish i had a box of chocolates right now... depressing day
My Mamma could crochet. She enjoyed it & tried to teach me how to crochet too but sadly I did not have a flair for it & my Mamma got frustrated at my lack of skill. Ha, ha, she excepted I will never be one to make anything from fabrics or thread.
All the best, Zara.
Tu ne doit pas commencer a tricoter. Tu n'auras pas de temp pour ecrire sur xanga.
Et il ne faut pas oublier ton jardin non plus.
Nice blog.
Bien à toi Michel.

Hi!
I like the colour of the knitwear.......and the wall!!!
Hope you have had a wonderful day!
Merci pour tes comments - tu dis bien ce que j'essaie dire, mais souvent ne peux pas.
Tu as une famille vraiment doue!
LOL you can do it Michel.. you can do it. Try harder.
In answer to your comment, yes, I do find it all strange... not just strange, a bit over-dramatic too.
I am the same as you fauquet, I have tried to learn how to knit or crochet but I doubt that I will ever master the techniques.
Je n'ai pas les doigts agiles non plus. Je n'ai aucune dextérité manuelle. Vous avez une belle famille. Beaucoup de visages heureux.
Hello Michel, Knitting and crochet is a dieing art. I love to knit also. I made many clothing articles for my children when they were babies. It is a lot of fun, and gives you a lot of time to think...Have a wonderful day.........
My grandmother crochetted and my mother knitted. Me? I can do both, but it is better if I don't. I had the pleasure of passing some of my mom's knitted work on to my daughter-in-law for our coming grandchild. It was a privilege to be able to do that.
Came back for a visit and enjoyed a laugh again at the picture of you with the crochet hook. I wonder if you ever did try it, as it appears that you would have had a lot of fun doing it.
Hi, Michael.
Nice picture of the woman knitting. I clicked on the word knitting and did not see a picture, sorry, but I enjoyed what pictures I did see. I am laughing too. Ha! Ha!
Right now I am waxing my bathroom floor. I painted it and stenciled it today and have pictures on my xanga. You'll have to check it out.
You seem to be a very intelligent man. You amaze me.
Hope you have had a great day, and have a good night.
Your Friend,
~Kim~
Ces chocolats ne sont-ils pas des Sarments du Medoc? Delicieux!
I do both knit and crochet and it provides me peace and relaxation...
Maybe if you give it a try, you will get "hooked"...? Sorry, but that was too tempting!
Merci pour ton gentil commentaire dans mon blog, Michel.
Besides tricoter - je tricote beaucoup... maybe beaucoup trop
- j'aime aussi beaucoup la photographie et j'essaie de concilier les deux dans mes posts.
J'ai un autre blog reserve a mon tricot experiences si tu es interesse ou ton epouse d'y jeter un oeil sometimes... http://tricotine.typepad.com/weblog/
Have a wonderful and blessed day!
