Il bosco è piuttosto freddo in questi giorni, e i suoi abitanti sentono ancora lo spirito delle feste. Dopo il Solstizio le giornate si stanno lentamente allungando, anche se ci vorranno mesi prima che il sole torni a scaldare. Mentre lo aspettiamo, niente di meglio del rosso fuoco per confortare mani e cuori e per rimanere allegri, nonostante tutto, semplicemente perché è ciò che desideriamo - e ciò che meritiamo.

Un sincero augurio di Buon 2014 a tutti!

The wood is pretty cold these days, and its dwellers still feel festive. After the Solstice the days are slowly getting longer, though it'll take months before the sun will warm us again. As we wait for his comeback, nothing's better than firey red to comfort hands and hearts, and to stay merry, regardless of everything, simply because that's what we want - and what we deserve.

I wish you all a Happy 2014!

It is 2 m long from tip to tip and 45 cm wide by the last scale, and the last row counts 110 stitches, which are quite a lot... : ) As I already wrote I strongly recommend this if you want to try Tunisian crochet, it's easy, good fun and you get a nice original item to wear. You might find this tutorial by Julia Marquardt helpful, but if you want to get one that's exactly like mine you have to change the pattern a little bit: I followed the instructions by a great designer, MariaGrazia Berno , who modified it a bit in order to obtain a scarf/shawl that curls up more. Her pattern says to increase of two stitches at the end of every row, just before the se...

Yule

These are the days of Yule, a very special time of the year for most of us, when the Light is reborn and back in our lives. So even if the Solstice is gone, I still want to wish you all to have some wonderful days ahead, whatever you celebrate, and a happy 2015!  I'll be back... well, next year, so have some great holidays, and talk to you in 2015! Questi sono i giorni di Yule, un momento dell'anno speciale per molti di noi, giorni in cui la Luce ritorna nelle nostre vite. Allora, anche se il Solstizio è passato, voglio augurarvi di passare dei bellissimi giorni, qualunque ricorrenza celebriate, e anche un felice anno nuovo! Io tornerò a scrivere... beh, l'anno prossimo, quindi buone vacanze, ci sentiamo nel 2015!
